Years of extensive research in the field of speech processing for compression and recognition in the last five decades, resulted in a severe competition among the various methods and paradigms introduced. In this paper we include the different representations of speech in the time-frequency and time-scale domains for the purpose of compression and recognition. The examination of these represent...

methodologies operate broadly within qualitative and/or quantitative paradigms. The simplest distinction between these two is that quantitative research methods involve enumeration, whereas qualitative research methods employ qualitative (non-numerical) judgements in exploration of the phenomena being studied. Behind this simple distinction lie deep philosophical differences. Quantitative resea...

Recent articles have proposed that the future of services research may be at risk due to the foundation upon which the services discipline has been built. Indeed, the most fundamental issue of the service discipline or science is still subject to debate, namely the paradigm that answers the question “What is a service?” Common paradigms of services have been criticized in the literature as bein...

We analyzed visualization paper keywords supplied for 4366 papers accepted to three main visualization conferences. We describe main keywords, topic areas, and 10-year historic trends from authorchosen keywords for papers published in the IEEE Visualization conference series (now called IEEE VIS) since 2004. Furthermore, we present the KeyVis Web application that allows visualization researcher...
