I herein present a formulation of non-penetration constraints between pairs of bodies which accounts for all possible combinations of active contact. This is the first formulation that accurately models the body geometries ...

Resource Constrained Networks (RCN) have become a hot topic in recent years, they includes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) and Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN). Security is one of the major ...

As such, applications need a simple and stable API that abstracts much of the structure, but keeps the strengths of OWL in reasoning or clarity. To meet this need, we utilize a hybrid approach to integrating an ontology ...

This thesis proposes a new approach to intrusion detection in networks. This approach is based on Information Centrality (IC) using which systemic attacks can perform the same level of intrusion detection using approximately ...

Computer vision approaches have shown to be an effective tool for wildlife identification across a wide range of species. As the field grows and the amount of available data grows with it, deep learning based approaches ...

Students who learn foreign languages have limited exposure to conversations in the target language as, by definition, a foreign language is the one that is not commonly spoken where they live. However, exposure to the ...

We call this the two-step neural network algorithm, which is capable of training and predicting on multiple machines. The first step of this algorithm is an unsupervised autoencoder trained to capture the normal behavior ...
