We consider the problem of recovering from failures of distributable threads with assured timeliness in dynamic systems with overloads, and node and (permanent/transient) network failures. When a distributable thread encounters a failure that prevents its timely execution, the thread must be terminated. Thread termination involves detecting and aborting thread orphans, and delivering exceptions...

In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...

 An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

We present a method to estimate the time-to-impact (TTI) from sequence of images. The is based on detecting and tracking local extremal points. Their endurance within between pixels measured, accumulated, used achieve TTI. This method, which improves an earlier proposal, entirely different ordinary optical flow technique allows for fast low-complex processing. inspired by insects, have some TTI...
