0272-1732/99/$10.00  1999 IEEE Deep-submicron technology allows billions of transistors on a single die, potentially running at gigahertz frequencies. According to Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) projections, the number of transistors per chip and the local clock frequencies for high-performance microprocessors will continue to grow exponentially in the near future, as Figure 1 (on th...

0272-1732/03/$17.00  2003 IEEE Published by the IEEE computer Society Telecom service providers are augmenting telephony networks with packetswitched networks, enabling converged voice, data, and multimedia transport over a single network infrastructure. However, the profound mismatch between circuit-switched telephony networks and packet-switched data networks makes providing converged voice ...

0272-1732/00/$10.00  2000 IEEE In the volume PC market, the demand is growing for general-purpose processors that facilitate visual and graphical computing on the Internet. Responding to this need, Intel developed the streaming SIMD extensions (SSE), a set of processor instructions designed to boost performance of multimedia and Internet applications, and implemented them on its Pentium III pr...

Children's gestures do not appear to be executed with the same dexterity as adults'. Studies of arm movements have shown that young children's gestures are less accurate, more variable and slower than those of adults. This difference in behavior can be explained by a lack of experience with the sensory consequences of motor acts and still-developing forward models for the control of those acts....

There is an upsurge in interest in the Markov model and also more general stationary ergodic stochastic distributions in theoretical computer science community recently (e.g. see [Vitter,KrishnanSl], [Karlin,Philips,Raghavan92], [Raghavan9 for use of Markov models for on-line algorithms, e.g., cashing and prefetching). Their results used the fact that compressible sources are predictable (and v...
