This document presents a review on gestures for multi-modal interfaces and focus on hand gestures. It first introduces the role that the gesture modality plays in human communication. It then describes different types of gestures. Finally, it gives an over ...
Explicit communication semantics are often considered essential for rich interaction between heterogeneous automated systems. While extensive work on semantic models has been carried out, much of this work remains to be tested in real open environments. Th ...
The IDIAP Smart Meeting Room is a meeting room equipped with synchronised, multi-channel audio-visual recording facilities. This document presents a detailed description of the room with particular emphasis on the acquisition equipment and the components u ...
Today's Middleware is facing increasing pressures to operate in more open, loosely coupled and complex environments. E-business systems require seamless transactions between multiple enterprises and software components are becoming more opaque in an effort ...
Group communication provides communication primitives with various semantics and their use greatly simplifies the development of highly available services. However, despite tremendous advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays ...
In this paper, we propose a new architecture for group communication middleware. Current group communication systems share some common features, despite the big differences that exist among them. We first point out these common features by describing the m ...
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 ...
The comparison between the NCTU and Caltech PQ-PMMA material shows that the difference in their behavior lies in the different concentration of residual MMA in the samples. Experimental evidence shows that during recording, PQ molecules attach to MMA but n ...
In this paper, we propose a new architecture for group communication middleware. Current group communication systems share some common features, despite the big differences that exist among them. We first point out these common features by describing the m ...
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 ...
