The proposal AgLOTOS algebraic language is dedicated to the specification of agent plans in ambient systems (AmI). From its two level specification, plans can be built automatically as a system of concurrent processes. In this context, we show how to achieve a powerful mechanism for a contextual guidance based on a specific and formal construction called Contextual Planning System (CPS). The CP...

We present observations of galaxy environmental dependencies using data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. From a combined analysis of the luminosity function, Butcher-Oemler effect and trends in Hα line strengths we find support for a model where galaxy properties are mainly set by initial conditions at the time of their formation.

In extracting three-dimensional positional information from images, both static stereo processing and monocular structure-from-motion processing possess shortcomings for a general purpose vision system. A solution to these problems is to use stereo structurefrom-motion processing. This paper addresses the problems of integrating stereo and structure-frommotion data to determine the camera ego-m...

A scene containing multiple independently moving, possibly occluding, rigid objects is considered under the weak perspective camera model. We obtain a set of feature points tracked across a number of frames and address the problem of 3D motion segmentation of the objects in presence of measurement noise and outliers. We extend the robust structure from motion (SfM) method [5] to 3D motion segme...

Background The Ministry of Health (MOH) of Mozambique became a People that Deliver (PtD) focus country in 2011. Soon after the PtD Conference in 2011, the MOH re-ignited the development of a Strategic Plan for Pharmaceutical Logistics and decided to make reform of Human Resources for the Supply Chain (HR for SC) a key pillar of the plan, as well as a component of the Health Sector Strategic Pla...

Being a ‘bastard’ is not necessarily as derogatory as it might sound. In an Australian context it can be a term of endearment, often expressed in jovial light-heartedness amongst ‘mates’ (some still use the word ‘cobber’) or at least people with a modicum of friendliness. Hodge and Mishra (1991) create a ‘complex’ out of being a ‘bastard’; a ‘bastard complex’ alludes to the sense of illegitimac...

procedure for integrating 3D positional information for isolated feature-points, extracted from a sequence of images, has been described in a previous paper. The following is a brief outline of the method: When integrating visual features into 3D for a Structure From Motion algorithm, the connectivity and relationships of features are an important adjunct to any quantitative 3D geometry. This p...
