Graph queries for data integration using xml

A new visual language, which is called ER-QBE and uses a conceptual model semantics, is proposed for the development of XML views. ER-QBE is based on graph queries that are trees of parametric SQL queries. The ER-QBE language is characterized by formally proved completeness, its expressiveness is higher than that of well-known alternatives, and it supports both relational and object-relational databases. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 2, pp. 171–183, March–April 2008.     

数字虚拟图像与实拍影像的整合

数字虚拟图像与实拍影像的整合是现阶段动态影像创作的一种趋势,它突破了单一的影像形式,融会了两种不同形态的影像语言,不仅为创作者提供了无限的创作空间,并且开拓了新的审美情趣,使影像在创作观念与形式语言表现上发生了许多变化,值得我们思考与研究。本文通过对数字虚拟图像与实拍影像整合的含义、目的与价值三个方面的论述,希望可以引起对新的影像形式语言理论研究的思考,开拓影像形式语言的多元化。     

Spatial interest pixels (SIPs): useful low-level features of visual media data

Visual media data such as an image is the raw data representation for many important applications. Reducing the dimensionality of raw visual media data is desirable since high dimensionality degrades not only the effectiveness but also the efficiency of visual recognition algorithms. We present a comparative study on spatial interest pixels (SIPs), including eight-way (a novel SIP detector), Harris, and Lucas‐Kanade, whose extraction is considered as an important step in reducing the dimensionality of visual media data. With extensive case studies, we have shown the usefulness of SIPs as low-level features of visual media data. A class-preserving dimension reduction algorithm (using GSVD) is applied to further reduce the dimension of feature vectors based on SIPs. The experiments showed its superiority over PCA.

BPL: A set-based language for distributed system prototyping

Rapid prototyping of software and hardware is recognized as a very important step in timely, cost-effective system development. The complexity inherent in designing distributed computing systems and distributed problem solutions emphasizes the need for effective rapid prototyping tools. ADL/ADS is a testbed user interface tool for experimentation with critical research and design issues pertaining to distributed data processing (DDP). The experimenter expresses a candidate distributed system in terms of experiment objects, along with attributes and relationships. The experiment objects represent hardware, software, and behavior. This paper provides a brief overview of ADL/ADS, and gives especial emphasis to the Behavior Prototyping Language (BPL) within ADL/ADS. BPL is designed for expressing Behavior Modules (B_MODULEs)—the most versatile of the behavior objects. BPL incorporates set-theoretical approaches, and provides syntax designed for effectively describing manipulations of experiment objects, and their attributes and relationships.     

The road to intelligence

It is argued that robotic platforms are the way forward towards building intelligent systems, where multiple sensors and manipulation are used for cognitive processes. It is also argued that the cue for developing the right architecture for such a system is human language.     

大学生英语口语的组织单位使用分析

组织单位即组织性词块在话语组织中起着重要作用.通过COLSEC和BNC的对比研究,观察我国大学生英语口语组织单位的使用情况,结果表明大学生在口语中更常使用一小部分的组织单位,并且在单位词块内,学习者比本族语者更多重复使用了某些组织单位等现象.这些不同可能主要受母语迁移和外语焦虑等因素的影响.     

企业“亚健康”状态下的会计政策选择

医学领域把“亚健康”状态称为人类认知的一场革命,将此概念引入企业范围,从而引起管理者、投资者及企业其他利益相关者重视企业的该种状态,避免企业滑向破产、清算的深渊,更重要的是趋利避害,使企业处于可持续经营的良好状态。
