Demetrios Prize 2019: Tortura: permisibilidad, mundo real y legislación - Torture: permissibility, real world and legislation

Smog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...

Real Time, Real World, Distributed Vision

The science and art of computer vision has matured over the past several years to the point that vision systems can guide robotic vehicles in real time through complex natural outdoor environments. Capabilities have been developed to analyze scene structure from on-board moving video cameras, maintain precision vehicle location and pose, and, not least, provide high performance, low latency vis...

Real-Time Rendering of Real World Environments

1 E-mail: {davemc,nyland,popescu,lastra,mccue}@cs.unc.edu Abstract: One of the most important goals of interactive computer graphics is to allow a user to freely walk around a virtual recreation of a real environment that looks as real as the world around us. But hand-modeling such a virtual environment is inherently limited and acquiring the scene model using devices also presents challenges. ...

Real-Time for the Real World

We propose a new methodology for creating embedded software that meets real-time deadlines. Our approach is a synthesis of real-time analysis and traditional systems debugging techniques, based on two main ideas. First, we use probabilistic modeling techniques to make quantitative predictions about system behavior, as opposed to real-time analysis techniques whose results are binary and often p...
