This paper presents an SVM-based algorithm for the transfer of knowledge across robot platforms aiming to perform the same task. Our method exploits efficiently the transferred knowledge while updating incrementally the internal representation as new infor ...
This chapter addresses the issue of the development of indicators aimed at providing a measurement base with both breadth and depth from which research in the "economics of knowledge" can benefit. While initial attempts at quantification in the area of the ...
Efficient Protocols for Set Membership and Range Proofs The goal of this master thesis was to give a major contribution in the domain of honest verifier zero-knowledge set membership and range proof. In order to do so, some investigation has been done on d ...

In the framework of the European Integrated Project PALETTE, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Patras are developing mediation services. These services aim at sustaining collaboration, supporting tacit and explicit k ...
Facial expressions are probably the most visual method to convey emotions and one of the most powerful means to relate to each other. A typical automatic system for the recognition of facial expressions is based on a representation of the expression, learn ...

In this paper we present the results of an agent-based model of open innovation, which suggest the network knowledge advantage underlying open interfirm networks of innovation, as opposed to an advantage arising from the interfirm network structure. To dat ...

In many countries and regions, traffic infrastructure projects suffer from low funding. The budget is tight for new infrastructure building and, thus, the importance of inspection, maintenance and assessment of the existing traffic infrastructure increases ...
We present a turnover based adaptive HELLO protocol (TAP), which enables nodes in mobile networks to dynamically adjust their HELLO messages frequency depending on the current speed of nodes. To the best of our knowledge, all existing solutions are based o ...
