Background: Sensory information processing and alexithymia are two important factors in determining behavioral reactions. Some studies explain the effect of the sensitivity of sensory processing and alexithymia in the tendency to substance abuse. Giving that, the aim of the current study was to compare the styles of sensory information processing and alexithymia between substance-dependent peop...

Deeply embedded systems are forced to operate under extreme resource constraints in terms of memory, CPU time, and power consumption. The program family concept can be applied in this domain to implement reusable and highly configurable operating systems. In this paper we present our approach to use aspect-oriented programming to modify and optimize the inter-object relations and communication ...

The software architecture of a future mobile telecommunication system consists of three main parts: system infrastructure services, middleware services and application services. Infrastructure services provide access technologies and networking services for the middleware services that again provide richer capabilities for wireless applications through mobile Internet. Architecture describes th...

Attention can be oriented reflexively to a location in space by an abrupt change in the visual scene. In the present study, we investigated the consequences of reflexive attention on the neural processing of visual stimuli. The findings show that reflexively oriented attention produces modulations in early sensory analysis at the same extrastriate neural locus as the earliest effects of volunta...

JPEG2000 is a recently standardized image compression algorithm that provides significant enhancements over the existing JPEG standard. JPEG2000 differs from widely used compression standards in that it relies on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and uses embedded bit plane coding of the wavelet coefficients [1]. Due to the bit-oriented processing techniques used in the standard, full implementa...

In this paper we present the Multitemporal Adaptive Processing (MAP3) paradigm devoted to the definition of new multitemporal, user-oriented products. MAP3 is organized in three blocks of activities dealing with pre-processing, adaptive processing and representation. Experiments performed on different scenarios testify the reliability of the proposed paradigm and its independence from both sens...

We present an event-based monitoring approach for service composition infrastructures. While existing approaches mostly monitor these infrastructures in isolation, we provide a holistic monitoring approach by leveraging Complex Event Processing (CEP) techniques. The goal is to avoid fragmentation of monitoring data across different subsystems in large enterprise environments by connecting vario...
