An architecture for semantic service discovery and realizability in cloud computing (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barati, M., & St-Denis, R. (2015). An architecture for semantic service discovery and realizability in cloud computing. In 2015 6th International Conference on the Network of the Future (NOF). https://doi.org/10.1109/nof.2015.7333293

One of the open issues in cloud computing is service discovery. Another issue, which has received less attention by practitioners in the cloud computing industry, is service composition based on formal methods, particularly those based on automata an...

Efficient text localization in born-digital images by local contrast-based segmentation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, K., Yin, F., Hussain, A., & Liu, C. (2015, August). Efficient text localization in born-digital images by local contrast-based segmentation. Presented at 2015 13th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR), Tunis, Tunisia

Text localization in born-digital images is usually performed using methods designed for scene text images. Based on the observation that text strokes in born-digital images mostly have complete contours and the pixels on the contours have high contr...

Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dimitriadi, V., & Bouckovalas, G. (2015, September). Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement. Presented at XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

According to modern seismic codes, the use of shallow foundations on liquefiable soils is only acceptable after proper ground improvement underneath and around the foundation. Still, there are no widely acceptable guidelines for choosing the required... Read More about Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement.

Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dimitriadi, V., Bouckovalas, G., & Chaloulos, Y. (2015, September). Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground. Presented at XVI ECSMGE Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development

A novel numerical methodology is presented and used to simulate the seismic response of footings on liquefiable ground, locally improved in order to reduce settlements and increase the bearing capacity of the foundation. The numerical simulation adop... Read More about Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground..

A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen Sola, P., Mcdonald, A. S., & Oterkus, E. (2015, November). A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains. Presented at European Wind Energy Association, EWEA 2015

Buoyant airborne wind turbines are devices capable of harnessing stronger winds at higher altitudes and with their automated and rapidly deployable system they are suited to niche applications such as emergency power generation. Although much of the... Read More about A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains.

Carpet unrolling for character control on uneven terrain (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miller, M., Holden, D., Al-Ashqar, R., Dubach, C., Mitchell, K., & Komura, T. (2015, November). Carpet unrolling for character control on uneven terrain. Presented at MIG '15 Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games

We propose a type of relationship descriptor based on carpet unrolling that computes the joint positions of a character based on the sum of relative vectors originating from a local coordinate system embedded on the surface of a carpet. Given a terra... Read More about Carpet unrolling for character control on uneven terrain.
