This research proposes an architecture for reusable components aimed at bridging the object-oriented and the relational paradigms. The component, referred to here as Business Tier Component, provides a single wide range static interface able to manage a set of Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) expressions, deployed at runtime and of any complexity, on behalf of application tiers. The only constraint...
This work describes a photo-realistic generator that creates semi-automatically face images of unseen subjects. Unlike previously described methods for generating face imagery, the approach described herein incorporates texture and shape information in a single computational framework based on high dimensional encoding of variance and discriminant information from sample groups. The method produces...
Call Level Interfaces (CLI) provide services aimed at easing the integration of database components and components from client applications. CLI support native SQL statements keeping this way expressiveness and performance of SQL. Thus, they cannot be discarded as a valid option whenever SQL expressiveness and SQL performance are considered key requirements. Despite the aforementioned performance...
Object-oriented programming is the most successful programming paradigm. Relational database management systems are the most successful data storage components. Despite their individual successes and their desirable tight binding, they rely on different points of view about data entailing difficulties on their integration. Some solutions have been proposed to overcome these difficulties, such as Embedded...
In a nutshell, UPnP aims to enable simple and robust connectivity among consumer electronics, intelligent appliances and mobile devices from many different vendors. Nowadays, it is getting an increasing popularity due to its robust way of connecting devices and the massive number of already developed applications, complementing the useful new era of pervasive computing. Although UPnP is an easy-to-use...
