We present a next-generation architecture that addresses problems of dependability, maintainability, and manageability of I/O devices and their software drivers on the PC platform. Our architecture resolves both hardware and software issues, exploiting emerging hardware features to improve device safety. Our high-performance implementation, based on the Xen virtual machine monitor, provides an ...

In this paper we present Eurydice, a platform dedicated to provide a unified gateway to documents. Its basic functionalities about collecting documents have been designed based on a long experience about the management of scientific documentation among large and demanding academic communities such as IMAG and INRIA. Besides the basic problem of accessing documents – which was of course the orig...

This paper discusses the effect of context on mobile usability, proposes an expanded model of mobile application context, and conducts an empirical study to test a number of hypotheses concerning the use of software implementation technology and location context in mobile applications. Four different application types (PC web based, PC device based, mobile web based and mobile device based) wer...

Failure of equipment not only leads to loss of production, but also, in some serious situations, causes human casualty. Hence, the need of equipment condition monitoring becomes crucial for reliable operations. Since expensive hardware instruments are needed for condition monitoring, with the current powerful PCs, software based virtual instruments are possible to replace hardware instruments. ...

The first generation routers were essentially general purpose computers performing packet processing in software. They executed routing protocols on UNIX like operating systems and the same processor was shared for all the different routing functions. With the advent of faster and more complex networks routers evolved from open and easily programmable computers to closed and specialised boxes. ...

Digital's eXcursion for Windows display server is an application for Microsoft Windows. The eXcursion for Windows product is based on the X Window System and allows X client applications to display output, receive input, and exchange data in the Microsoft Windows environment. The eXcursion software visually integrates the X and Microsoft Windows environments-applications from both environments ...

Heart attack and stroke are life and death emergencies. The cardiovascular system is complexclosed hydraulic system, which perform the essential service of transportation of oxygen,carbon dioxide, numerous chemical compounds and the blood cells. Patients suffering fromheart attack have to undergo regular check up of their heart functioning. It is highly risk takingjob, as th...

OVERVIEW: A camera system is developed for delivering real-time video streams over corporate intranets, the Internet, and other networks. The system encompasses TCP/IP-compliant cameras that can be directly connected to networks, representative application software for the PC side, application-specific APIs, and an environment enabling customers to customize application software. The applicatio...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a hybrid intelligent surveillance system that consists of an embedded system and a personal computer (PC)-based system. The embedded system performs some of the image processing tasks and sends the processed data to the PC. The PC tracks persons and recognizes two-person interactions by using a grayscale side view image sequence captured by ...
