  • QoS Controllers for the Internet
    Matta, Ibrahim; Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2000-03-12)
    In this position paper, we review basic control strategies that machines acting as "traffic controllers" could deploy in order to improve the management of Internet services. Such traffic controllers are likely to spur ...
  • Quadruped Gait Transitions from a Neural Pattern Generator with Arousal Modulated Interactions
    Cohen, Michael A.; Grossberg, Stephen; Pribe, Christopher A. (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1993-01)
    A four-channel neural pattern generator is described in which both the frequency and the relative phase of oscillations are controlled by a scalar arousal or GO signal. The generator is used to simulate quadruped gaits; ...
  • Quadsim Version 2.1 Student Manual
    Shaban, Marwan (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1993-02-21)
    Quadsim is an intermediate code simulator. It allows you to "run" programs that your compiler generates in intermediate code format. Its user interface is similar to most debuggers in that you can step through your program, ...
  • Quantifying Diachronic Variability: The 'Ain Difla rockshelter (Jordan) and the Evolution of Levantine Mousterian Technology
    Mustafa, Mentor; Clark, Geoffrey A. (American School of Prehistoric Research Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology Harvard University, 2007)
  • A Quantitative Evaluation of the AVITEWRITE Model of Handwriting Learning
    Paine, Rainer; Grossberg, Stephen; van Gemmert, Arend (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 2003-10)
    Much sensory-motor behavior develops through imitation, as during the learning of handwriting by children. Such complex sequential acts are broken down into distinct motor control synergies, or muscle groups, whose activities ...
  • Quantum Lower Bounds for Fanout
    Fang, M.; Fenner, S.; Green, F.; Homer, S.; Zhang, Y. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2004-01-12)
    We prove several new lower bounds for constant depth quantum circuits. The main result is that parity (and hence fanout) requires log depth circuits, when the circuits are composed of single qubit and arbitrary size Toffoli ...
  • Query-Sensitive Embeddings
    Athitsos, Vassilis; Hadjieleftheriou, Marios; Kollios, George; Sclaroff, Stan (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2005-03-16)
    A common problem in many types of databases is retrieving the most similar matches to a query object. Finding those matches in a large database can be too slow to be practical, especially in domains where objects are ...
  • A randomized solution to BGP divergence
    Matta, Ibrahim; Yilmaz, Selma (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2004-03-01)
    The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an interdomain routing protocol that allows each Autonomous System (AS) to define its own routing policies independently and use them to select the best routes. By means of policies, ...
  • The Random Nature of Genome Architecture: Predicting Open Reading Frame Distributions
    McCoy, Michael W.; Allen, Andrew P.; Gillooly, James F. (Public Library of Science, 2009-7-30)
    BACKGROUND. A better understanding of the size and abundance of open reading frames (ORFS) in whole genomes may shed light on the factors that control genome complexity. Here we examine the statistical distributions of ...
  • Rapid Encoding and Perception of Novel Odors in the Rat
    Wesson, Daniel W; Carey, Ryan M; Verhagen, Justus V; Wachowiak, Matt (Public Library of Science, 2008-4-8)
    To gain insight into which parameters of neural activity are important in shaping the perception of odors, we combined a behavioral measure of odor perception with optical imaging of odor representations at the level of ...
  • A Raven with a Halo: The Translation of Aristotle's Politics
    Schmidt, James (Imprint Academic Ltd, 2012-07-26)
  • Real-Time Anisotropic Diffusion using Space-Variant Vision
    Fischl, Bruce; Schwartz, Eric L.; Cohen, Michael A. (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1996-08)
    Many computer and robot vision applications require multi-scale image analysis. Classically, this has been accomplished through the use of a linear scale-space, which is constructed by convolution of visual input with ...
  • Real-Time Databases: Issues and Applications (RTDB'96 Workshop Report)
    Bestavros, Azer; Lin, Kwei-Jay; Son, Sang (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1996-07-03)
    This report summarizes the technical presentations and discussions that took place during RTDB'96: the First International Workshop on Real-Time Databases, which was held on March 7 and 8, 1996 in Newport Beach, California. ...
  • Real Time Eye Tracking and Blink Detection with USB Cameras
    Chau, Michael; Betke, Margrit (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2005-03-12)
    A human-computer interface (HCI) system designed for use by people with severe disabilities is presented. People that are severely paralyzed or afflicted with diseases such as ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) or multiple sclerosis ...
  • Real-Time Mutable Broadcast Disks
    Baruah, Sanjoy; Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1997-05-05)
    There is an increased interest in using broadcast disks to support mobile access to real-time databases. However, previous work has only considered the design of real-time immutable broadcast disks, the contents of which ...
  • Real-Time Restoration of Images Degraded by Uniform Motion Blur in Foveal Active Vision Systems
    Bonmassar, Giorgio; Schwartz, Eric L. (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1998-02)
    Foveated, log-polar, or space-variant image architectures provide a high resolution and wide field workspace, while providing a small pixel computation load. These characteristics are ideal for mobile robotic and active ...
  • Real-Time Spatio-Temporal Query Processing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks
    Morcos, Hany; Bestavros, Azer; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2006-10-15)
    Personal communication devices are increasingly equipped with sensors that are able to collect and locally store information from their environs. The mobility of users carrying such devices, and hence the mobility of sensor ...
  • A Real-Time Unsupervised Neural Network for the Low-Level Control of a Mobile Robot in a Nonstationary Environment
    Zalana, Eduardo; Gaudiano, Paolo; Coronado, Juan Lopez (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1994-01)
    This article introduces a real-time, unsupervised neural network that learns to control a two-degree-of-freedom mobile robot in a nonstationary environment. The neural controller, which is termed neural NETwork MObile Robot ...
