The debate began to find a go...

Pattern Playback in the 90s

Deciding the appropriate representation to use for modeling human auditory processing is a critical issue in auditory science. While engineers have successfully performed many single-speaker tasks with LPC and spectrogram methods, more difficult problems will need a richer representation. This paper describes a powerful auditory representation known as the correlogram and shows how this non-lin...

Network Management for the 90s

The effort to define a single industrystandard API for network management basically failed because it did not address aspects like complexity and ease of programming. Recently, a common approach is to map established network management standar...
