Combining Multiple Classifiers with Dynamic Weighted Voting
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
When a multiple classifier system is employed, one of the most popular methods to accomplish the classifier fusion is the simple majority voting. However, when the performance of the ensemble members is not uniform, the ...
A Proposal to Extend the OpenMP Tasking Model for Heterogeneous Architectures
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
OpenMP has evolved recently towards expressing unstructured parallelism, targeting the parallelization of a broader range of applications in the current multicore era. Homogeneous multicore architectures from major vendors ...
An Extension of the StarSs Programming Model for Platforms with Multiple GPUs
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/power ratio can be attained using specialized ...
A Rule-Based Multi-agent System for Local Traffic Management
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
Road Traffic presents a high dynamism which makes necessary the development of traffic management and control strategies to improve traffic flows and more important, road safety. So it is needed the use of intelligent ...
A Parallel Multi-threaded Solver for Symmetric Positive Definite Bordered-Band Linear Systems
(Springer, 2016-04)
We present a multi-threaded solver for symmetric positive definite linear systems where the coefficient matrix of the problem features a bordered-band non-zero pattern. The algorithms that implement this approach heavily ...
Revisiting the Gauss-Huard Algorithm for the Solution of Linear Systems on Graphics Accelerators
(Springer, 2016-04-02)
In 1979, P. Huard presented an efficient variant of the Gauss-Jordan elimination for the solution of linear systems. In particular, this alternative algorithm exhibits the same computational cost as the traditional LU-based ...
Analysis of RF-based Indoor Localization with Multiple Channels and Signal Strengths
(Springer, 2015)
In this paper, the influence and improvement of the localization accuracy achieved using a fingerprint database with information coming from different channels and radio signal strength levels is evaluated. This study uses ...
A Pilot Study on Saccadic Adaptation Experiments with Robots
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012)
Despite the increasing mutual interest, robotics and cognitive sciences are still lacking common research grounds and comparison methodologies, for a more efficient use of modern technologies in aid of neuroscience research. ...
Accelerating BST Methods for Model Reduction with Graphics Processors
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012)
Model order reduction of dynamical linear time-invariant system appears in many scientific and engineering applications. Numerically reliable SVD-based methods for this task require O(n3) floating-point arithmetic operations, ...
Plastic Representation of the Reachable Space for a Humanoid Robot
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012)
Reaching a target object requires accurate estimation of the object spatial position and its further transformation into a suitable arm-motor command. In this paper, we propose a framework that provides a robot with a ...
