Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

by Gio Wiederhold - IEEE COMPUTER , 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

-level functional partitioning. These partitions are mapped into information process-ing modules. The modules are assigned to nodes of the distributed information systems. A central role is assigned to modules that mediate between the users ' workstations and data re-sources. Mediators contain

Quantization Index Modulation: A Class of Provably Good Methods for Digital Watermarking and Information Embedding

by Brian Chen, Gregory W. Wornell - IEEE TRANS. ON INFORMATION THEORY , 1999
"... We consider the problem of embedding one signal (e.g., a digital watermark), within another "host" signal to form a third, "composite" signal. The embedding is designed to achieve efficient tradeoffs among the three conflicting goals of maximizing information-embedding rate, mini ..."

refer to as dither modulation. Using deterministic models to evaluate digital watermarking methods, we show that QIM is "provably good" against arbitrary bounded and fully informed attacks, which arise in several copyright applications, and in particular, it achieves provably better rate

An integrated theory of the mind

by John R. Anderson, Daniel Bothell, Michael D. Byrne, Scott Douglass, Christian Lebiere, Yulin Qin - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 2004
"... There has been a proliferation of proposed mental modules in an attempt to account for different cognitive functions but so far there has been no successful account of their integration. ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) has evolved into a theory that consists of multiple modules but also explain ..."

where they can be detected by a production system that responds to patterns of information in the buffers. At any point in time a single production rule is selected to respond to the current pattern. Subsymbolic processes serve to guide the selection of rules to fire as well as the internal operations

ATTENTION, INTENTIONS, AND THE STRUCTURE OF DISCOURSE

by Barbara J. Grosz, Candace L. Sidner , 1986
"... In this paper we explore a new theory of discourse structure that stresses the role of purpose and processing in discourse. In this theory, discourse structure is composed of three separate but interre-lated components: the structure of the sequence of utterances (called the linguistic structure), a ..."

recognizing how the utterances of the discourse aggregate into segments, recognizing the intentions expressed in the discourse and the relationships among intentions, and track-ing the discourse through the operation of the mechanisms associated with attentional state. This processing description specifies

Assessing coping strategies: A theoretically based approach

by Charles S. Carver, Michael F. Scheier, Jagdish Kumari Weintraub - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1989
"... We developed a multidimensional coping inventory to assess the different ways in which people respond to stress. Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seek-ing ..."

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion

by Pietro Perona, Jitendra Malik - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1990
"... Abstract-The scale-space technique introduced by Witkin involves generating coarser resolution images by convolving the original image with a Gaussian kernel. This approach has a major drawback: it is difficult to obtain accurately the locations of the “semantically mean-ingful ” edges at coarse sca ..."

EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis

by Arnaud Delorme, Scott Makeig - J. Neurosci. Methods
"... Abstract: We have developed a toolbox and graphic user interface, EEGLAB, running under the cross-platform MATLAB environment (The Mathworks, Inc.) for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels. Available functions include EEG data, channel and event i ..."
Abstract - Cited by 886 (45 self) - Add to MetaCart
. Extensive function help and tutorial information are included. A ‘plug-in ’ facility allows easy incorporation of new EEG modules into the main menu. EEGLAB is freely available

The Ontolingua Server: a Tool for Collaborative Ontology Construction

by Adam Farquhar, Richard Fikes, James Rice - International Journal of Human-Computer Studies , 1996
"... Reusable ontologies are becoming increasingly important for tasks such as information integration, knowledge-level interoperation, and knowledgebase development. We have developed a set of tools and services to support the process of achieving consensus on common shared ontologies by geographically ..."

Active Perception

by Ruzena Bajcsy , 1988
"... Active Perception (Active Vision specifically) is defined as a study of Modeling and Control strategies for perception. By modeling we mean models of sensors, processing modules and their interac-tion. We distinguish local models from global models by their extent of application in space and time. T ..."

Specificity and stability in topology of protein networks

by Sergei Maslov - Science , 2002
"... Molecular networks guide the biochemistry of a living cell on multiple levels: its metabolic and signalling pathways are shaped by the network of interacting proteins, whose production, in turn, is controlled by the genetic regulatory network. To address topological properties of these two networks ..."
