We consider an interactive musical agent (IMA) which shares control of an ensemble of virtual instruments with a human performer, and which is required to interact in a particular musical style without a priori knowledge of the ensemble itself. We present an algorithm which allows such an agent to find the segment in a corpus of demonstration performances, which best matches a given musical sit...

In the last years, Virtual Reality medical simulators are gaining importance, training new physicians in a safe environment. In order to improve the trainees’ skills, these applications let them perform a specific medical procedure in different virtual patients with different anatomical variation. Typically, virtual patients are generated from medical imaging data sets, such as MRI (magnetic re...

This paper describes a new fast, iterative algorithm for interactive image noise removal. Given the locations of noisy pixels and a prototype image, the noisy pixels are to be restored in a natural way. Most existing image noise removal algorithms use either frequency domain information (e.g low pass filtering) or spatial domain information (e.g median filtering or stochastic texture generation...

We present an online, interactive tool for writing and presenting interactive geometry demos suitable for classroom demonstrations. Code for the demonstrations is written in JavaScript using p5.js, a JavaScript library based on Processing. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.2.2 Nonnumerical Algorithms and Problems – Geometrical problems and computations

We describe an interactive version of the Genetic Algorithm which can be used to evolve Fourier series based \biomorphs." The user plays the role of a binary-valued objective function. The usual Genetic operators of Selection, Mutation, and Crossover are applied normally. We discuss the Interactive Genetic Algorithm's use as a teaching tool and in domains in which measures of utility are di cul...

We present a new approach for fault-tolerant internal clock synchronization in multicomputer systems employing notcompletely connected networks (NCCNs). The approach is referred to as multistep interactive convergence and is locally implemented in each multicomputer node by a time server process (TSP). We describe a specific algorithm that uses multistep interactive convergence and bases its op...

We deal in this paper with the problem of automatically generating the style and the layout of web pages and web sites in a real world application where many web sites a re considered. One of the main difficulty is to take into account the user preferences which are crucial in web sites design. We propose the use of an interactive genetic algorithm which generates solutions (styles, layouts) an...
