The current study investigated the perception of the three-way distinction among Korean voiceless stops in non-tonal Seoul and tonal Kyungsang Korean. The question addressed is whether listeners from these two dialects differ in the way they perceive the three stops. Forty-two Korean listeners (21 each from Seoul and South Kyungsang) were tested in a perception experiment with stimuli in which ...

1 VERIFYING NETWORKS WITH SYMBOLIC EXECUTION Symbolic execution is a promising approach to network veri cation [5, 6]. Inspired from software veri cation where it is mainly used to generate test-cases (e.g. [1]), symbolic execution is a technique for exploring all viable execution paths of a program. Symbolic execution runs programs with symbolic inputs instead of concrete ones. Such an input m...

Anytime algorithms exchange execution time for quality of results [8]. Anytime algorithms can be executed in two modes: either by being given a contract time (a set amount of time to execute), or an interruptible method. To improve the solution, anytime algorithms can be continued after they have halted. Instead of correctness, an anytime algorithm returns a result with a “quality measure” whic...

The major contribution in this research paper is concerned with the development of a humanoid robot using edge detection technique which selects features principal parts object and eliminates that are not necessary. developed prototype motorized shows robots real life exhibit some level intelligence. In design process, model was first simulink library tools Matlab/Simulink environment. This has...

Web services composition is emerging as a promising technology for the effective automation of businessto-business collaborations. It allows organizations to form alliances by connecting their applications, databases, and systems, in order to offer “one-stops shops” for their customers. The SELF-SERV project aims at providing tool support and middleware infrastructure for the definition and exe...

Symbolic execution with interpolation has emerged as a powerful technique for software verification. Its performance heavily relies heavily on the quality of the computed “interpolants”, formulas which succinctly describe a generalization of the symbolic states proved so far. Symbolic execution by default is eager, that is, execution along a symbolic path stops the moment when infeasibility is ...

Complex enterprise and server-level applications are often written in Java because of its reputation for security. The Java policy language allows users to specify very fine-grained and complex security policies. However, this expressiveness makes it difficult to determine the correct policy with respect to the principle of least privilege. We describe a method for automatically learning the mi...
