An Ontology of Virtual Humans: Incorporating Semantics into Human Shapes

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Most of the efforts concerning graphical representations of humans (Virtual Humans) have been focused on synthesizing geometry for static or animated shapes. The next step is to consider a human body not only as a 3D shape, but as an active semantic entity ...

Perfect Simulation and Stationarity of a Class of Mobility Models

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We define ``random trip", a generic mobility model for independent mobiles that contains as special cases: the random waypoint on convex or non convex domains, random walk with reflection or wrapping, city section, space graph and other models. We use Palm ...

Standardization and the university world

Michel Ianoz

Standardization can be performed only in a field in which the knowledge of the physical phenomena and of the behavior of the given installation is sufficiently known. The role of the universities is to perform research in order to clarify such these points ...

Design of lattice proteins with explicit solvent

Paolo De Los Rios

Protein design is important to develop new drugs. As such, a knowledge of the correct model to use to design novel proteins is of the utmost importance. Here we show that a simple model where the solvent degrees of freedom are (semi)explicitly taken into a ...

Not as simple as just punching a hole

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Like a variety of other pathogenic bacteria, Aeromonas hydrophila secretes a pore-forming toxin that contribute to its virulence. The last decade has not only increased our knowledge about the structure of this toxin, called aerolysin, but has also shed li ...

Expertness Measuring in Cooperative Learning

Masoud Asadpour

Cooperative Learning in a multi-agent system can improve the learning quality and learning speed. The improvement can be gained if each agent detects the expert agents and use their knowledge properly. In this paper, a new cooperative learning method, call ...

One-Time Identification with Low Memory

Serge Vaudenay

In this paper, a practical cryptosystem based on an authentication tree is described. It is an extension of Ralph Merkle's results. The security of the system depends on assumptions on a one-way function . This cryptosystem allows to make interactive proof ...
