New Architectural Models for Visibly Controllable Computing: The Relevance of Dynamic Object Oriented Architectures and Plan Based Computing Models
(2004-02-09)
Traditionally, we've focussed on the question of how to make a system easy to code the first time, or perhaps on how to ease the system's continued evolution. But if we look at life cycle costs, then we must conclude ...
Face processing in humans is compatible with a simple shape-based model of vision
(2004-03-05)
Understanding how the human visual system recognizes objects is one of the key challenges in neuroscience. Inspired by a large body of physiological evidence (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; Hubel and Wiesel, 1962; Livingstone ...

Predicting Unroll Factors Using Nearest Neighbors
(2004-03-22)
In order to deliver the promise of Moore s Law to the enduser, compilers must make decisions that are intimately tiedto a specific target architecture. As engineers add architecturalfeatures to increase performance, systems ...
Evaluation of sets of oriented and non-oriented receptive fields as local descriptors
(2004-03-24)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. We propose a performance criterion for a ...
MultiChord: A Resilient Namespace Management Protocol
(2004-02-19)
MultiChord is a new variant of the Chord namespace management algorithm [7] that includes lightweight mechanismsfor accommodating a limited rate of change, specifically, process joins and failures. This paper describes ...
GeoQuorums: Implementing Atomic Memory in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2004-02-25)
We present a new approach, the GeoQuorums approach, for implementing atomic read/write shared memoryin mobile ad hoc networks. Our approach is based on associating abstract atomic objects with certain geographiclocations. ...
Virtual Mobile Nodes for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2004-02-26)
One of the most significant challenges introduced by mobile networks is the difficulty in coping withthe unpredictable movement of mobile nodes. If, instead, the mobile nodes could be programmed totravel through the world ...
Enhancing Availability and Security Through Failure-Oblivious Computing
(2004-02-06)
We present a new technique, failure-oblivious computing,that enables programs to continue to execute through memoryerrors without memory corruption. Our safe compilerfor C inserts checks that dynamically detect invalid ...
REED: Robust, Efficient Filtering and Event Detection in Sensor Networks
(2004-03-22)
This paper presents an algorithm for handling many types of filters insensor networks that cannot be expressed using a simple predicate.Specifically, the action of the filter may be predicated on sensor produceddata where ...
