A Social-Welfare Optimal Probabilistic Mechanism for Knightian Single-Good Auctions
(2012-09-07)
We provide an optimal probabilistic mechanism for maximizing social welfare in single-good auctions when each player does not know his true valuation for the good, but only a set of valuations that is guaranteed to include ...
Robust Tracking for Real-Time Dense RGB-D Mapping with Kintinuous
(2012-09-17)
This paper describes extensions to the Kintinuous algorithm for spatially extended KinectFusion, incorporating the following additions: (i) the integration of multiple 6DOF camera odometry estimation methods for robust ...
Aeolus Reference Manual
(2012-09-14)
This document describes the interface that the Aeolus information flow platform provides for users who are implementing applications using Java. The document explains how the Aeolus features are made available by means of ...
An architecture for secure searchable cloud storage
(2012)
Cloud Computing is a relatively new and appealing concept; however, users may not fully trust Cloud Providers with their data and can be reluctant to store their files on Cloud Storage Services. The problem is that Cloud ...
Meta-standardisation of interoperability protocols
(2012)
The current medley of interoperability protocols is potentially problematic. Each protocol is designed by a different group, each provides a single service, and has its own syntax and vocabulary. Popular protocols such as ...
The design of a mobile user interface for an interest rate calculator
(2012)
In our search towards an interactive mobile fixed rate calculator, in this dissertation, we are interested in the human-centred design and in particularly exploring the mobile user interface design and the user experience ...
A Benchmark of Computational Models of Saliency to Predict Human Fixations
(2012-01-13)
Many computational models of visual attention have been created from a wide variety of different approaches to predict where people look in images. Each model is usually introduced by demonstrating performances on new ...
Toward a Probabilistic Approach to Acquiring Information from Human Partners Using Language
(2012-01-23)
Our goal is to build robots that can robustly interact with humans using natural language. This problem is extremely challenging because human language is filled with ambiguity, and furthermore, the robot's model of the ...
Telecommuting in the developing world: a case of the day-labour market
(2012)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in general, and mobile phones in particular, have demonstrated positive outcomes in the various social transformation and human development dimensions. As a result, many ...
Situation recognition using soft computing techniques
(2012)
The last decades have witnessed the emergence of a large number of devices pervasively launched into our daily lives as systems producing and collecting data from a variety of information sources to provide different ...
