Enhancing driver’s vision with the use of prototype automotive head-up display interface (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Charissis, V., & Anderson, P. (2006). Enhancing driver’s vision with the use of prototype automotive head-up display interface. In Vision In Vehicles 11 (VIV 2006)

Driving is a complex task largely dependent on vision as the predominant channel of information. Considering the wealth of visual cues available in a vehicle, it becomes crucial to manage the frequency of information provided to the driver. Notably,...

Windshield Head-Up Displays (HUDs) have become a focal point of research in the automotive industry, bearing the promise of augmenting spatial awareness and reducing the driver's reaction time. Such systems would require the deployment of sensory equ... Read More about Exploring the ad hoc network requirements of an automotive Head-Up Display Interface.

Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P., Idowu, O., & Periorellis, P. (2006). Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems. In AISB'06: Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Fault tolerance is a key aspect of the dependability of complex computer-based systems. Fault tolerance may be difficult to measure directly in complex real world systems, and we propose here to measure it in terms of integrity preservation of the sy...

The language of cortical dynamics (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2006). The language of cortical dynamics. In Computational Life Sciences II: Second International Symposium, CompLife 2006, Cambridge, UK, September 27-29, 2006. Proceedings (247-256). https://doi.org/10.1007/11875741_24

Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neural system. Here we describe the extraction of an activity pattern language... Read More about The language of cortical dynamics.

A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Chrysoulas, C., Haleplidis, E., Kostopoulos, G., Denazis, S., & Koufopavlou, O. (2006). A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation. In Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP)

Modeling comes to a necessity when there is something new to be developed and there is a need to specify in exact detail a specific architecture. This paper describes a model of a Distributed Router's Architecture specifically suited for the IST proj... Read More about A Distributed Router's Modeling and Implementation.

Dissimilarity analysis of signal processing methods for texture classification (2006)
Conference Proceeding
Qaiser, N., Hussain, M., Hussain, A., Iqbal, N., & Qaiser, N. (2006). Dissimilarity analysis of signal processing methods for texture classification. In 2005 Pakistan Section Multitopic Conference. https://doi.org/10.1109/INMIC.2005.334512

As observed from the literature survey, there is no commonly accepted quantitative definition of visual texture. As a consequence, researchers seeking a quantitative texture measure have been forced to search intuitively for texture features, and the...
