Interpretation. The basic idea of abstract interpretation is to simplify and omit all calculations that do not directly influence the execution costs. For example, instead of computing a numeric value, it is only computed whether it is positive or negative, thereby speeding up the execution of the program to be examined. While having the attraction of being very general, one major disadvantage

Previously a complete ordinary differential equation (ODE) system was developed for tracking the solution x(~) of a parameterized system of nonlinear equations 0 = ~'(x,~) over an ~-interval [~0, ~]. This paper develops a two-phase complex homotopy continuation method for obtaining the required initial conditions at ~t °. An initial "short" artificial continuation is followed by a continuation ...

Human Emotion Recognition Clips Utilised Expert System was designed to recognise and interpret facial expressions of the observed person in an automatic way [1]. Still, input to HERCULES has been manually supplied. Through integrating HERCULES into the Integrated System for Facial Expression Recognition (ISFER) a complete process of automatic analysis of facial expressions has been achieved [2]...

In the marketplace of the st century there is no place for traditional over the wall com munications between design and manufacturing In order to design it right the very rst time designers must ensure that their products are both functional and easy to manufacture Soft ware tools have had some successes in reducing the barriers between design and manufacturing Manufacturability analysis system...
