This communication describes the multi-modal VidTIMIT database, which can be useful for research involving mono- or multi-modal speech recognition or person authentication. It is comprised of video and corresponding audio recordings of 43 volunteers, recit ...
This paper describes a new consensus algorithm for the asynchronous message passing system model augmented with an unreliable failure detector abstraction: channels are reliable, processes can fail by crashing, and the detection of crashes are not reliable ...
Message-based communication offers potential benefits of providing stronger specification and cleaner separation between components. Compared with shared-memory interactions, message passing has the potential disadvantages of being more expensive (no direc ...
The present communication is based on the research undertaken by the author and whose principal results are detailed in its thesis entitled « Choice of alternatives of road infrastructures : multicriteria methods » like on the prospects offered by this one ...
In this work, we consider the problem of designing adaptive distributed processing algorithms in large sensor networks that are efficient in terms of minimizing the total power spent for gathering the spatially correlated data from the sensor nodes to a si ...
We consider large sensor networks where the cost of collecting data from the network nodes to the data gathering sink is critical.~We propose several algorithms that use limited local communication and distributed signal processing to make communication mo ...
Communication networks are expected to offer a wide range of services to an increasingly large number of users, with a diverse range of quality of service. This calls for efficient control and management of these networks. In this paper, we address the pro ...

The Paxos part-time parliament protocol of Lamport provides a non trivial but very practical way to implement fault-tolerant deterministic services over a distributed message passing system. This paper deconstructs Paxos and modularly reconstructs more res ...
P doping of gallium nitride by incorporation of magnesium in the layers was controlled recently. Only Popovici et al. [1] have published the results of a Raman study on p type GaN. In the present communication, we report on the interaction of the free hole ...
Consensus is one of the most fundamental problems in the context of fault-tolerant distributed computing. The problem consists, given a set P of processes having each an initial value vi, in deciding among P on a common value v. In 1985, Fischer, Lynch and ...
