MPEG-A: A Step Forward in MPEG Standardization

August 1, 2005
Author(s)
Diepold Klaus, F Pereira, Wo L. Chang
MPEG standards are shaping the multimedia landscape since the beginning of the nineties. After the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 multimedia coding standards, the MPEG-7 content description standard and the MPEG-21 multimedia framework standard, MPEG is taking

Similarity Based Retrieval from a 3D Human Database

August 1, 2005
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used in our study is

NIST's Security Configuration Checklists Program for Technology Products

Shirley M. Radack
This bulletin describes the NIST security configuration checklists program and is based on NIST Special Publication 800-70: Security Configuration Checklists Program for IT Products, by Murugiah Souppaya, John Wack and Karen Kent. The bulletin discusses

Network Transfer of Control Data: An Application of the NIST Smart Data Flow

April 15, 2005
Author(s)
Martial Michel, Vincent M. Stanford, O P. Galibert
Pervasive Computing environments range from basic mobile point of sale terminal systems, to rich Smart Spaces with many devices and sensors such as lapel microphones, audio and video sensor arrays and multiple interactive PDA acting as electronic brief

A Numerical Method for Mass Spectral Data Analysis

January 31, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony J. Kearsley, William E. Wallace, Javier Bernal, Charles M. Guttman
The new generation of mass spectrometers produces an astonishing amount of high-quality data in a brief period of time leading to inevitable data analysis bottlenecks. Automated data analysis algorithms are required for rapid and repeatable processing of

Toward a Formal Common Information Model Ontology

Author(s)
Stephen Quirolgico, P Assis, A Westerinen, M Baskey, E Stokes
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric systems on a population approaching 1,000 individuals. Majority of prior studies of multimodal

Feasibility Study for the Development of a Motion Imagery Quality Metric

Thomas A. Siewert, William G. Rippey
The Thirteenth International Conference on Computer Technology in Welding was held June 18, 2003 in Orlando, Florida, under the sponsorship of the American Welding Society, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and The Welding Institue

Building a Filtering Test Collection for TREC 2002

July 28, 2003
Author(s)
Ian M. Soboroff, S E. Robertson
Test collections for the filtering track in TREC have typically used either past sets of relevance judgments, or categorized collections such as Reuters Corpus Volume 1 or OHSUMED, because filtering systems need relevance judgments during the experiment

Interface-Driven Model-Based Generation of Java Test Drivers

September 3, 2002
Author(s)
Mark Blackburn, Robert Busser, Aaron Nauman, Ramaswamy Chandramouli
This paper extends prior work in model-based verification and describes interface-driven analysis that combines with a requirement model to support automated generation of Java test scripts. It describes concepts of models and test driver mappings using

A New Classification of Information: A Step on the Road to Interpretability

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Larry H. Reeker, Albert W. Jones
Complex systems, such as manufacturing supply chains, are often modeled as a collection of interacting components with information flows between them. These components are frequently responsible for making a wide range of decisions that are implemented

Measuring the Impact of Information on Complex Systems

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Larry H. Reeker, Albert W. Jones
The application of power-driven machinery to manufacturing and other areas of human endeavor characterized the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. Measurement contributed in many ways to the increasing economic influence of these machines
