Abstract Music inpainting is a sub-task of automated music generation that aims to infill incomplete musical pieces help musicians in their composition process. Many methods have been developed for this task. However, we observe tendency each method be evaluated using different datasets and metrics the papers where they are presented. This lack standardization hinders an adequate comparison the...

This paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. The methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (SMO) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. The faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output err...

INTRODUCTION Local health departments (LHDs) are dedicating resources and attention to preventing obesity and associated chronic diseases, thus expanding their work beyond traditional public health activities such as surveillance. This study investigated practices of local health departments in California to prevent obesity and chronic disease. METHODS We conducted a web-based survey in 2010 ...

I. INTRODUCTION With the demise of Dennard scaling, today's architects are confronting chips filled with more transistors than can be fully powered. One possible mechanism to continue improving performance on a power budget is the use of hardware accelerators , fixed-function hardware blocks which compute a specific task at a fraction of the cost of a general-purpose processor. Unfortunately, d...

In the paper an approach to developing a use-cases benchmark is presented. The benchmark itself is a referential use-case-based requirements specification, which has a typical profile observed in real projects. To obtain this profile an extensive analysis of 432 use cases coming from 11 projects was performed. Because the developed specification represents those found in real projects, it might...

Today, traditional mechanical and electrical systems are replaced with special ICT (Information and communication technology) based solutions and with the invention of new technologies; this trend is increasing further more. This special ICT-based domain is called Real-time systems and today's drive-by-wire, electronic stability programs in car, control software in vehicles are just a few examp...

Many of the application systems being designed today, variously known as marketing information, decision support, and management reporting systems, aim to exploit the strategic value of operational data of a commercial enterprise. These applications depart from the row-at-a-time update transaction model of the DebitCredit [1] and TPC benchmarks, and are almost wholly dependent for their perform...
