The long-term goal of the project described in this paper is to facilitate the use of realistic, large-scale applications in performance evaluation projects. In prior work we have contributed to the creation of a new benchmark suite, called SPEChpc. Here, we introduce a methodology that will (1) help researchers understand the behavior with these large-scale applications, and (2) will guide the...

We extend previously defined particle filters for lane detection by using a more general lane model supporting the use of two independent particle filters for detecting left and right lane borders separately, by combining multiple particles, traditionally used for identifying a winning particle in one image row, into one superparticle, and by using local linear regression for adjusting detected...

In recent years, the development of intelligent tutoring dialogue systems has become more prevalent, in an attempt to close the performance gap between human and computer tutors. Tutoring applications differ in many ways, however, from the types of applications for which spoken dialogue systems are typically developed. This talk will illustrate some of the opportunities and challenges in this a...

Log-likelihood of received bits is considered for the classical approach to demodulation of digital signals modulated using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK). Using the symmetric functions mechanism a stable and efficient algorithm is obtained allowing to compute the probability that this value is close to zero. A combinatorial interpretation of the formulae obtained with symmetric functions is ...

Understanding the importance of the marketing competitiveness of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as the premise, analytic hierarchy process is used and the competitiveness of SMEs in the evaluation of the marketing model is put forward in the paper. The design of index system and evaluation model of steps are discussed, it is found that the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is an ef...

Abstract: As an important part of knowledge management (KM), the KM performance evaluation tries to find out the key factors restraining the enhancement of the enterprises' performance. This paper investigates the feasibility of the balanced scorecard (BSC) method in enterprise knowledge management and then proposes a simplified and applicable performance evaluation model based on the BSC appro...

In this paper, we propose a new self-organization scheme, DICSION (Data-centrIC Self-organizatION), which can improve the energy efficiency and prolong network lifetime of wireless sensor networks. Since a large number of sensor nodes are densely deployed, neighboring nodes may be very close to each other. Therefore, we assume that sensor nodes have a high possibility to collect the duplicate d...
