Quality assurance techniques have been developed to supervise the service quality (QoS) agreed between service-based systems (SBSs) consumers and providers. Such QoS is usually included in service level agreements (SLAs) and thus, SLA monitoring platforms have been developed supporting violation detection. However, just a few of them provide explanation of the violations caused by observed QoS at...
Multilinguality represents an area of significant opportunities for automatic speech-processing systems: whereas multilingual societies are commonplace, the majority of speech-processing systems are developed with a single language in mind. As a step towards improved understanding of multilingual speech processing, the current contribution investigates how an important para-linguistic aspect of speech,...
Processing is a very powerful visualization language which combines software concepts with principles of visual form and interaction. Artists, designers and architects use it but it is also a very effective programming language in the area of visual analytics. In the following contribution Processing is utilized in order to visually analyze data provided by IEEE VAST 2009 Mini Challenge Badge and...
The organic computing (OC) initiative deals with new design concepts, which facilitate the development of technical systems with life-like properties such as self-organization, self-optimization and self-configuration in order to make them robust, flexible and adaptive. In this paper, we systematically investigate different interaction patterns in self-organizing agent populations using a multi-robot...
We present a novel quantum receiver for the discrimination of a coherent state alphabet consisting of four phase covariant coherent states equally spaced in phase by pi/2. Our receiver is a hybrid system composed of a homodyne and a modified Kennedy receiver, which is an optimization of the original Kennedy receiver such that it reaches smaller error probability for the discrimination of two states...
Multi-Criteria Decision Making promises important development in the capabilities of intelligent autonomous and adaptive devices. Ontologies and inference engines enable semantic matching between criteria. This paper presents an approach to take benefit from these technologies in distributed autonomous devices. The concept of SeMCDM is based on a MCDM ontology and a MCDM-aware inference engine. An...
The performances of BAW resonators depend on their size and shape. A model is presented that describes this dependence. The electrical behavior of the resonator is subdivided into two parts. The ideal resonator, composed of the piezoelectric layer sandwiched between two electrodes, provides an ideal response while parasitic elements are degrading it. The model deals with the performances of the ideal...
