n source and destination pairs randomly located in an area want to communicate with each other. Signals transmitted from one user to another at distance r apart are subject to a power attenuation of 1/r^alpha as well as a random phase. We identify exactly ...
Understanding the guiding principles of sensory coding strategies is a main goal in computational neuroscience. Among others, the principles of predictive coding and slowness appear to capture aspects of sensory processing. Predictive coding postulates tha ...
Even at low residue concentrations, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are of increasing concern all over the world. They include numerous organochlorine pesticides, like hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), known for its toxicity, lipophilic properties and very ...
In this paper, we investigate by means of statistical and information-theoretic measures, to what extent sensory-motor coordinated activity can generate and structure information in the sensory channels of a simulated agent interacting with its surrounding ...
Search goals are often too complex or poorly defined to be solved with a single query in a Web-based information environment. In this paper we describe how we use semantic fisheye views (SFEVs) to effectively support opportunistic search and browsing strat ...
The spatial layout of information influences collaborative interactions. We compared two awareness tools which give information on the status of participants in a collaborative work, one displaying it on a single screen and the other distributing it in the ...
Claude Elwood Shannon in 1948, then of the Bell Labs, published one of the ground breaking papers in the history of engineering [1]. This paper (”A Mathematical Theory of Communication”, Bell System Tech. Journal, Vol. 27, July and October 1948, pp. 379 - ...
People meet in order to interact - disseminating information, making decisions, and creating new ideas. Automatic analysis of meetings is therefore important from two points of view: extracting the information they contain, and understanding human interact ...
Sequence recognition performance is often summarised first in terms of the number of hits (H), substitutions (S), deletions (D) and insertions (I), and then as a single statistic by the "word error rate" WER = 100(S D I)/(H S D). While in common use, WER h ...
In a systematic way, the impact of chaos present in transmitters for chaos based communications is discussed; based on arguments from information theory. Conditions for the optimality of communication systems involving chaos in the transmitter are develope ...
