Most of new databases are no more built from scratch, but re-use existing data from several autonomous data stores. To facilitate application development, the data to be re-used should preferably be redefined as a virtual database, providing for the logica ...
Distributed computing is reshaping the way people think about and do daily life activities. On-line ticket reservation, electronic commerce, and telebanking are examples of services that would be hardly imaginable without distributed computing. Nevertheles ...
A conceptual model provides the best support for federating heterogeneous datastores into a unified framework and elaborating a global consistent description of all available data. It therefore plays a central role for exchange of information within the co ...
Two important models for building fault-tolerant applications have been independently proposed in the literature, the {\em transaction} model (developed within the context of database applications) and the {\em virtual synchrony} model (proposed initially ...
This report provides an overview of important concepts in the field of information fusion, followed by a review of literature pertaining to audio-visual person identification & verification. Several recent adaptive and non-adaptive techniques for reaching ...
In this paper, we address the problem of the recognition of isolated complex mono- and bi-manual hand gestures. In the proposed system, hand gestures are represented by the 3D trajectories of blobs obtained by tracking colored body parts. In this paper, we ...

This paper presents an application where an integrated GPS/IMU system is used for land survey (mounted on a van), providing a significant improvement on the efficiency of the road status monitoring process. Being initially developed for aircraft navigation ...
In many large companies the widespread usage of computers has led a number of different application-specific databases to be installed. As company structures evolve, boundaries between departments move, creating new business units. Their new applications w ...
The concepts of object oriented data models aim towards modeling of application objects close to the user's view. Yet developers of applications relying on object oriented database management systems are facing problems resulting from the limitations of ob ...
