ABSTRACT This paper presents a combinational system, which can perform the functionalities of Auto Focus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) at the same time in a very efficient manner. At the first step, this system uses a DOG (Difference of Gaussian) filter to measure image’s contrast and sharpness simultaneously. Then, a fuzzy logic-based scheme is proposed for the adjustment of focus and exposure. ...

In this paper, we investigate some language acquisition facets of an auto-adaptative system that can automatically acquire most of the relevant lexical knowledge and authoring practices for an application in a given domain. This is the LELIO project: producing customized LELIE solutions. Our goal, within the framework of LELIE (a system that tags language uses that do not follow the Constrained...

 Cloud computing is becoming increasingly widespread and sophisticated. A key feature of cloud computing is elasticity, which allows the provisioning and de-provisioning of computing resources on demand, via auto-scaling. Auto-scaling techniques are diverse, and involve various components at the infrastructure, platform and software levels. Auto-scaling also overlaps with other quality attribu...
