Nondeterminacy implies two unpleasant properties for testing and debugging parallel programs: successive executions of the same program with the same input values often do not show identical behaviour and watching the program influences the execution. It is therefore not always possible to test and debug parallel programs like sequential ones. This article presents an approach how to make test,...

In this paper we describe an approach for a multilingual natural language query interface that allows the formulation of queries on tourism information like hotel availability. The interface is based on n-gram language identification and a keyword-based query interpretation where natural language analysis is performed for identification of the requested objects. The web-based interface is desig...

Maximum power transfer tracking (MPTT) is meant to track the maximum power point during the system operation of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. Traditionally, MPTT is achieved by impedance matching at the secondary side when the load resistance is varied. However, due to a loosely coupling characteristic, the variation of coupling coefficient will certainly affect the performance of impe...
