The safety control and command system, such as the burner manage-ment requires that system must be reliable, available safe. reliability is based on choosing equipment, with a high level of which suitable for system. availability security are provided, among others, by redundancy. It presented M-Canal out N-Canal (MooN) architecture, (N-M) indicates how many dangerous faults possible, with-out ...

lenge to system designers. Portable systems, such as laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs), draw power from batteries, so reducing power consumption extends their operating times. For desktop computers or servers, high power consumption raises temperature and deteriorates performance and reliability. Soaring energy prices early last year and rising concern about the environmen...

This paper presents a novel latent semantic learning algorithm for action recognition. Through efficient sparse coding, we can learn latent semantics (i.e. high-level features) from a large vocabulary of abundant mid-level features (i.e. visual keywords). More importantly, we can capture the manifold structure hidden among midlevel features by incorporating hypergraph regularization into sparse...

The focus of the study was to examine searching behaviour in relation to the three experimental variables, i.e. searcher, system and topic characteristics. Twenty-four subjects searched the six test topics on two versions of the Okapi system, one with relevance feedback and one without. A combination of data collection methods was used including observations, verbal protocols, transaction logs,...

In this Part II of this paper we first refine the analysis of error-free vector transformations presented in Part I. Based on that we present an algorithm for calculating the rounded-to-nearest result of s := ∑ pi for a given vector of floatingpoint numbers pi, as well as algorithms for directed rounding. A special algorithm for computing the sign of s is given, also working for huge dimensions...

Pair Programming has often been reported to be beneficial in software projects. To better understand where these benefits come from we evaluate the aspect of intra-pair communication. Under the assumption that the benefits stem from the information being exchanged, it is important to analyze the types of information being communicated. Based on the Goal Question Metric method we derive a set of...
