Real-time handling of missing predictors

Real-time Handling of Fragmented Utterances

In this paper, we discuss an adaptive method of handling fragmented user utterances to a speech-based multimodal dialogue system. Inserted silent pauses between fragments present the following problem: Does the current silence indicate that the user has completed her utterance, or is the silence just a pause between two fragments, so that the system should wait for more input? Our system increm...

Handling Missing Attribute Values

In this chapter methods of handling missing attribute values in data mining are described. These methods are categorized into sequential and parallel. In sequential methods, missing attribute values are replaced by known values first, as a preprocessing, then the knowledge is acquired for a data set with all known attribute values. In parallel methods, there is no preprocessing, i.e., knowledge...

SDL for Real-Time: What is Missing?

Deadline Handling in Real-Time Distributed Objects

Deadline handling is a fundamental part of real-time computing but has been practiced in ad hoc forms for decades. A general framework for systematic deadline handling in real-time distributed computer systems is proposed in this paper. The notions of hard deadlines and hard-real-time program components are discussed along with the advantages of a hard-real-time component based construction app...

Handling Overload Conditions in Real-Time Systems

This chapter deals with the problem of handling overload conditions, that is, those critical situations in which the computational demand requested by the application exceeds the processor capacity (Buttazzo, 2011). If not properly handled, an overload can cause an abrupt performance degradation, or even a system crash. Therefore, a real-time system should be designed to anticipate and tolerate...
