We aim to extend the design space of help systems in virtual reality for data exploration by putting an emphasis on real time human behaviour analysis. We presented and evaluated a help system model using a task-based and a human behaviour-based approaches.
This presentation will describe the development process, and the underpinning rationale, behind a multi-format, interactive exhibition and online documentary. This project, to be presented at the Edinburgh International Science Festival and the Science Museum in London in Spring 2011, is part of the EU funded PerAda project’s programme of outreach ...
In the past two decades, FPGA has been witnessed from its restricted use as glue logic towards real System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. Profiting from the great development on semiconductor and IC technologies, the programmability of FPGAs enables themselves wide adoption in all kinds of aspects of embedded designs. Modern FPGAs provide the additional ...
Als Vorbild für das Autonomic Computing dient das autonome Nervensystem, das unbewusste Körperfunktionen kontrolliert, wie z.B. die Atmung oder den Herzschlag. Entsprechend sollen mit Hilfe dieser Technologie ebenfalls bestimmte Funktionen eines Computersystems selbsttätig ohne äußeren Eingriff ausgeführt werden. Computer sollen dadurch die Fähigke...

Eine Hardware-Plattform mit Namen Erlangen Slot Machine (ESM) wird beschrieben, die im Projekt ReCoNodes in Erlangen entstanden ist. Sie soll dazu dienen, methodische Ansätze und Anwendungen anderer Projekte zu testen und interdisziplinär zugänglich zu machen. Der Kooperationspartner in Braunschweig liefert algorithmische Lösungen für diesen dynami...

In this contribution we present a novel general model for adaptive processors. We describe its basic principle of operation and introduce several formal characterizations. The adaptive operations that are possible with this model are thoroughly discussed. The model allows runtime variations of the type and number of functional units as well as vari...

The eXtreme Processing Platform (XPPTM) is a new runtime-reconfigurable data processing architecture. It is based on a hierarchical array of coarsegrain, adaptive computing elements, and a packet-oriented communication network. The strength of the XPPTM technology originates from the combination of array processing with unique, powerful run-time re...
IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems / One of the most successful algorithms that bring realism to the world of three-dimensional (3-D) image generation is the Phong shading, With the continuous improvement in VLSI technology and the demand for higher realism, this algorithm is a menable to the commercially available hardware i...
