Up to a few years ago, the approaches taken to check whether a hardware component works as expected could be classi ed under one of two styles: hardware engineers in the industry would tend to exclusively use simulation to (empirically) test their c
This paper presents a novel, scenario- based notation called Use Case Maps (UCMs) for describing, in a high-level way, how the organizational structure of a complex system and the emergent behavior of the system are intertwined. =====R.J.A. Buhr Dep
This book presents techniques to render photo-realistic images by programming the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We discuss effects such as mirror reflections, refractions, caustics, diffuse or glossy indirect illumination, radiosity, single or mul
Botnets, i.e., networks of compromised machines under a common control infrastructure, are commonly controlled by an attacker with the help of a central server: all compromised machines connect to the central server and wait for commands. However, t
Abstract—Energy efficiency is of great importance in wireless sensor networks, where each node is typically powered by battery with limited energy supply. In this case, cooperative broadcasting plays a significant role in saving transmission power c
To say that Foundations of Soft Case-Based Reasoning (FSCBR for short) is a work of great importance is an understatement. Authored by prominent information scientists, Professors S. K. Pal and S. Shiu, it breaks new ground in case-based reasoning a
