S2-11 SESSION 2

Graduate Session # 2 Saturday 11 : 10 - 11 : 35

Morse 2-functions and trisections of 4-manifolds (Room 1.316) Robion Kirby (University of California, Berkeley) I’ll talk about work with David Gay which extends the notion of a Morse function f : M → R to a function from a 4-manifold X to a 2-dimensional surface. Just as the former gives an existence and uniqueness theorem for Heegaard splittings of a 3-manifold M , the latter gives existence ...

UB11 Session 11

Run-time monitoring systems on reconfigurable logic have the advantage that they can be customized with respect to specific applications: in the context of automated testing, this can lead to powerful scenarios. This demo presents a smart monitoring system by showing both a customization for stalls identification in a message passing scenario (based on four MicroBlaze that executes a bare-metal...

Session 11: Prosody

This paper provides a brief introduction to prosody research in the context of human-computer communication and an overview of the contributions of the papers in the session. In large part, prosody is "the relative temporal groupings of words and the relative prominence of certain syllables within these groupings" (Price and Hirsehherg [1]). This organization of the words, as Silverman points o...
