While individual agent-oriented methodologies are useful for restricted situations, a more flexible approach can be found in the use of situational method engineering. Using an underpinning metamodel, a repository of method fragments can be built up and, from this, a selected number of fragments can be abstracted to form an organization-specific or project-specific methodology. As an example, w...

| This paper describes the work currently developed at Heudiasyc and Liia within the Pro-Lab II demonstrator. This project started with the second phase of the European Prometheus/Pro-Art program. Its purpose is to develop an electronic co-pilot to assist the human driver. The global software architecture of the demonstrator, presented in 3], is structured in three main modules: perception , de...

ideas for purposes of step one when it notes in the discussion of step one that “courts have tread carefully in construing this exclusion because, at some level, all inventions embody, use, reflect, rest upon or apply abstract ideas.” Preliminary Guidance at 2; see also Alice Corp., 134 S. Ct. at 2354 (quoting Mayo Collaborative Servs. v. Prometheus Labs., Inc., 132 S. Ct. 1289, 1293 (2012)). B...

A two stage hierarchical vision system is presented. In a first stage continuous structures of traffic scenes are mapped to code trees within a hierarchical data structure. This stage is independent of the application and first hardware implementations are available (PROMETHEUS-project). At the second stage top down strategies allow efficient image analysis. Feature extraction is implemented on...

The object of this article is to map correspondences between the literacy of books and the literacy of online video platforms, in order to create common ground between both media and assist transmedia storytellers in the task of exploring video platforms with in-depth knowledge of each textual element surrounding video content. The article proposes a comprehensive categorization and typificatio...

Co-analysis of Galileo imaging observations of the gas and dust components of Io’s plumes suggests that the deposits produced by Prometheus-type plumes are made up of pyroclastic particles that are entrained with the gas flow. Peletype plumes, in contrast, deposit material that could be condensed from the gas phase. Introduction: Many outstanding questions remain to be answered about Io’s spect...
