In this article we will describe our research eeorts in coping with a trade-oo that can be often found in the control and optimization of todays business processes. Though centralized control may achieve near-to-optimum results in optimizing the system behavior, there are usually social, technical and security restrictions on applying centralized control. Distributed control on the other hand m...

Music sources are most commontly shared in music scores scanned or printed on paper sheets. These artifacts are rich in information, but since they are images it is hard to re-use and share their content in todays’ digital world. There are modern languages that can be used to transcribe music sheets, this is still a time consuming task, because of the complexity involved in the process and the ...

In todays growing and ever changing world of computer networks, management systems need to have the abilities of intellectual reasoning, dynamic real time decision making, experience based self-adaptation and improvement. Furthermore, ever increasing size and complexity of computer networks require automation for their management systems. Automation minimizes human involvement which produces ef...

The notion of Ubiquitous (or Pervasive) Computing was first eloquently described by Mark Weiser at Xerox PARC in the early 1990’s. He proposed a vision in which the personal computing model would evolve from one person using one computer, to many (perhaps hundreds) of computers per person; and that computing would become wirelessly embedded in the world around us, tacitly supporting our work pr...

Todays vehicles are more and more equipped with video cameras. These cameras are used e.g. for lane and parking assist systems. For the localization of the vehicle in the world the Global Positioning System is widely used. Unfortunately, GPS is very imprecise and insufficient for many driver assistance applications. To overcome this limitation, a more precise localization using a different appr...
