I n the computer industry, standards play an important role by enforcing security baselines and enabling compatibilities among products. In the early days of computing, lacking common agreements, problems ensued with floating point configurations, ASCII vs. EBCDIC encoding battles, and little vs. big endian data mixups. Such issues, especially when they affect data integrity, can pose a securit...

Extended thermodynamics is based on a set of equations of balance which are supplemented by local and instantaneous constitutive equations so that the field equations are quasi-linear first order differential equations. If the constitutive functions are subject to the requirements of the entropy principle, one may write them in symmetric hyperbolic form by a suitable choice of fields. The kinet...

Rapid increase of digitized document give birth to high demand of document image retrieval. While conventional document image retrieval approaches depend on complex OCR-based text recognition and text similarity detection, this paper proposes a new content-based approach, in which more attention is paid to features extraction and fusion. In the proposed approach, multiple features of document i...

From May 10th 2009 to May 15th 2009 the Dagstuhl Seminar 09201 Self-Healing and Self-Adaptive Systems was held in Schloss Dagstuhl Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar are put together in this paper. Links to extended ab...

This paper examines the sequential and categorical features of team members' talk within multidisciplinary meetings. An examination of turn taking, topic management and extended sequences in team members' talk is carried out through the analysis of naturally occurring data. In addition, the observable means through whichùnderstanding' is socially accomplished as a recognisable feature of team m...

Two themes have evolved in speech and text image processing work at Xerox PARC that expand and redefine the role of recognition technology in d~ument-oriented appficafions. One is the development of systems that provide functionality similar to that of text processors but operate directly on audio and scanned image data. A second, related theme is the use of speech and text-nnage recognition to...

The research on the algorithms of pattern-matching is an important subject in the field of computer study. The algorithms can range from single-pattern matching and multipattern matching algorithms to extended characters matching and regular expression. Among the many multi-pattern matching algorithms, AC algorithm and WM algorithm would be the two most classical algorithms, but these two algor...

A survey on automated lip-reading approaches is presented in this paper with the main focus being deep learning related methodologies which have proven to be more fruitful for both feature extraction and classification. This also provides comparisons of all different components that make up systems including audio-visual databases, extraction, classification networks schemas. The contributions ...
