This volume is an attempt to document successful use of information and communication technology (ICT) for rural development in India so that lessons can be drawn on the type of applications that are likely to create a developmental impact and the efforts that will be necessary to implement such applications. To put the case studies and the lessons that have been drawn in a perspective, this ch...

Modal Fourier Wavefront Reconstruction Using FPGA Technology

Atmospheric turbulence introduces optical aberration into wavefronts arriving at ground-based telescopes. The wavefront reconstruction using fast Fourier transforms (FFT) and spatial filtering is computationally tractable and sufficiently accurate in large Shack-Hartmann-based adaptive optics systems (up to 10,000 actuators). A first design has been developed using a Graphical Processing Units ...

INSTITUTE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY - HELLAS INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY GROUP The Semantic Index System

The Semantic Index System (SIS) is a tool for describing and documenting large evolving varieties of highly interrelated data, concepts and complex relationships, as opposed to large homogeneous populations in fixed formats (handled by traditional DBMS). As such, it is suited for the representation of scientific knowledge and engineering designs or constructs. These kinds of data are also chara...
