The trend of converging application domains in the field of embedded systems has been observable during the last years. For instance multimedia systems have entered the automotive domain and interfaces to the Internet are included in many embedded control applications. In the last years, undertakings to tackle the challenges introduced by this digital convergence have been started by the Europe...

This paper presents a HTTP based multimedia content streaming architecture able to provide large scale WebTV services to end users connected over several access network technologies. The architecture features smooth Rate Adaptation, context Personalization information (Channel Suggestions), fast program channel switching, Network Portability (Vertical Handover) and Terminal Portability capabili...

In this paper we present how agent technology can be used to improve Workflow Management Systems. We propose Pellucid Agent Architecture which helps with Workflow Process creation and with integration Intra Organizational Workflow. Proposed architecture was created as a part of European Union IST Project named Pellucid.

In this paper we present how agent technology can be used to improve Administration Based Processes. We introduce Pellucid Agent Architecture, which can assist organizationally mobile public employees. The presented architecture was created as a part of the European Union IST Project named Pellucid.

Self-learning hardware systems, with high-degree of plasticity, are critical in performing spatio-temporal tasks in next-generation computing systems. To this end, hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) offers time-based online-learning algorithms that store and recall temporal and spatial patterns. In this work, a reconfigurable and scalable HTM architecture is designed with unique pooling realiza...

Fieldwork is an intrinsic part of landscape architecture education because it confronts the students with in real life, shows realised projects, enables different experiences, and provides a direct confrontation historical context discipline. Here main goal to give first overview teaching fieldwork, compare that other publications, analyse pedagogical didactic backgrounds architectural Europe. ...
