To investigate the contributions of taggers or chunkers to the performance of a deep syntactic parser, Weighted Constraint Dependency Grammars have been extended to also take into consideration information from external sources. Using a weak information fusion scheme based on constraint optimization techniques, a parsing accuracy has been achieved which is comparable to other (stochastic) parsers.

Knowledge of accuracy of numerical integration is important for composing an overall numerical error budget; in orbit determination and propagation for space surveillance, there is frequently a computation time-accuracy tradeoff that must be balanced. There are several techniques to assess the accuracy of a numerical integrator. In this paper we compare some of those techniques: comparison with...

This thesis considers dual-OS virtualization for consolidating a trusted real-time operating system (RTOS) and an untrusted general-purpose operating system (GPOS) onto the same hardware platform. Research on dual-OS systems is motivated by their smaller hardware cost—due to the fact that hardware is shared—and their ability to address the increasing complexity of modern embedded systems—by lev...

The Greater Area of Munich is in the process of establishing a coordinated approach towards multi-modal, urban and interurban transportation management. Following the development and testing of several of the basic transportation management components, under the umbrella of previous R&D projects (Munich-COMFORT, TABASCO), system integration is entering the operational phase. The MOBINET transpo...

By exploiting information that is contained in the spatial arrangement of neural activations, multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) can detect distributed brain activations which are not accessible by standard univariate analysis. Recent methodological advances in MVPA regularization techniques have made it feasible to produce sparse discriminative whole-brain maps with highly specific patterns....

Complex systems have many heterogeneous aspects, which can be specified comprehensibly and adequately by viewpoint specification techniques dealing only with a suitable subset of these aspects. A methodology for the formal integration of collections of such viewpoint specification techniques is introduced and applied to object-oriented systems. As a main result, it is shown, how the semantical ...

— pin-level fault injection, heavy-ion radiation, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) — and their use in the validation of MARS, a faulttolerant distributed real-time system. The objectives of this study are: (i) to validate the fault-tolerance features of the MARS system, and (ii) to gain a better understanding of the features and impact of the three fault injection techniques. Coverage mea...

Pattern analysis deals with the problem of characterizing and analyzing relations in data in an automated way. A quite important issue during the design process of such algorithms is the incorporation of prior knownledge; knowledge that is related to all information about the problem available in addition to the training data. This thesis is about a certain kind of prior knowledge: we assume to...

In security infrastructure network intrusion detection system plays an important role. There are number of novels attacks in present scenario and it is not an easy to determine that. So in this paper we discuss the few new integrated network detection system. This paper also gives a better NIDS as a result because the numbers of good techniques have been integrated in this paper. So as conclude...
