Exterior lighting characterises the appearance of modern cars more than almost any other styling element. Headlamps and rear lights convey strong emotions. In order to meet current and future requirements, development processes have to be newly set up. Therefore, Bertrandt integrates its lighting system development activities in its own “Light and Visibility” product development process. The st...

this paper presents a comparative test of two protocols namely-AODV and DSR in various mobility scenarios of Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs). In order to make comparison three performance criterions are selected which include number of packet drop, throughput and total time taken by Ns2 to simulate the given network. To carry out the simulation process an open source simulator tool is used f...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most fundamental components of the Internet. While glue is widely used and heavily relied on in DNS operations, there is little thinking about the necessity, complexity, and venerability of such prevalent configuration. This work is the first to provide extensive and systematic analysis of DNS glue. It discusses the availability implications of glue an...

The move from hand-designed features to learned features in machine learning has been wildly successful. In spite of this, optimization algorithms are still designed by hand. In this paper we show how the design of an optimization algorithm can be cast as a learning problem, allowing the algorithm to learn to exploit structure in the problems of interest in an automatic way. Our learned algorit...

Do customer reviews indirectly affect sale prices? In this project, we collect Amazon’s reviews and prices, and explore the relationship between them. First, Amazon’s rating data and price data are crawled. Second, we assume customer’ ratings are consistent with review contents by adopting machine learning methods to verify. We predict ratings according to the given user contents. Third, we ana...

Techniques to simulate hair in virtual humans focus on hair modeling, hair animation and hair rendering. We propose a system for modeling and animating in real time using standard OpenGL on commodity graphic cards. For styling, we propose a paint tool to determine a set of gray scale images that allow us to establish hair density and hair length values, as well as other useful parameters, and f...

MapReduce is implementation for generating large data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a cluster. Hadoop is open source implementation of the MapReduce programming datamodel used for large-scale parallel applications such as web indexing, data mining, and scientific simulation. Hadoop-A framework is able to levitate Hadoop acceleration and give significant performance compared to ...

Content management systems support the dissemination and maintenance of documents. In software engineering terms, they separate the concerns of content, application logic and visual styling. Current systems largely maintain this separation of concerns after document deployment. Their runtime processing pipeline is a composition of generators, or document transformations. We exploit commutativit...

We present a system for interactively modelling and styling hair on an arbitrary surface using texture maps . Texture maps are used to modulate characteristics of hair strands on the surface, and combinations of these texture maps represent a great deal of information about a hairstyle. We render the scenes in real-time, enabling the user to interactively design and style hair to their liking. ...
