Drive-by-wire systems in automobiles and fly-by-wire systems in aircrafts have made these vehicles versatile with added features and benefits, along with ease of reconfiguration, in particular during graceful degradation. However, there are certain consequences of such by-wire systems in terms of overall system reliability. The issue has not been quantitatively discussed in the literature in a ...

Editor’s Note: Shortly after Communications pub, ished James Fetzer’s “Program Verifica !ion: The Very Idea” [September 1988, p. 10481, a large volume of negative mail began to arrive from researchers engaged in program verification. The uniters raised questions about the responsibilities of the author, editors, and reviewers, and about the publications policies of ACM. The issue of accurate re...

A conceptual framework for guideline dissemination and implementation is presented which draws on relevant concepts from diVusion of innovation theory, the transtheoretical model of behavi...

The ultimate aim of AI is to understand intelligence in a constructive way, i.e., to build systems exhibiting intelligent behavior. An anticipatory system, i.e., a system having a model of itself and/or its environment (Rosen 1985), has obviously a “higher cognitive level” than a purely reactive system, as it is capable of planning, imitation, and so on. But from a “designer viewpoint”, i.e., a...

It this section, we provide qualitative examples and plots for the experiment “2D-3D Matching as an Object Detector” (Sect. 6.2 in the main paper). To recapitulate, we run our ensemble of NZ-WHO templates on the 3DObject Classes dataset [2], without the finetuning stage. Fig. 1 gives the corresponding detection average precision, average viewpoint precision, viewpoint confusion matrix and mean ...

Nowadays, most documents are created and stored in electronic files both in intranet and internet. Documents are the source of knowledge. To manage documents in user’s point of view, users must read and cluster a group of document by themselves. For achieving their viewpoints, they lost much time to acquire their knowledge. Users have their own viewpoints that are different such as viewpoint of...
