This paper introduces a multithreaded Java processor kernel which is speciically designed as core processor of a microcontroller or system-on-a-chip. Handling of external real-time events is performed through multithreading. Real-time Java threads are used as interrupt service threads (ISTs) instead of interrupt service routines (ISRs). Our proposed Komodo microcontroller supports multiple ISTs...

NIST has coordinated annual evaluations of textindependent speaker recognition since 1996. During the course of this series of evaluations there have been notable milestones related to the development of the evaluation paradigm and the performance achievements of state-of-the-art systems. We document here the variants of the speaker detection task that have been included in the evaluations and ...

The aim of this paper is to present a fusion approach of multi-granularity linguistic information for managing information assessed in di erent linguistic term sets (multi-granularity linguistic term sets) together with its application in a decision making problem with multiple information sources, assuming that the linguistic performance values given to the alternatives by the di erent sources...

Self-assessments of task performance can draw on both top-down sources of information (preconceived notions about one's ability at the task) and bottom-up cues (one's concrete experience with the task itself). Past research has suggested that top-down self-views can mislead performance evaluations but has yet to specify the exact psychological mechanisms that produce this influence. Across 4 ex...
