Abstract:

Distributed systems are widely used today, mostly supported by the Internet. In consequence, there is an increasing demand for networked applications and services traditionally available only in specific, controlled settings. This includes many real-time applications, mostly mission-critical, such as multimedia rendering or on-line transaction processing. But the Internet, as well as many other small-scale computing environments, is open in nature and hence unpredictable. Therefore, to construct such applications in a dependable way, system architects have to face, among others, the challenge

Abstract:

Description Logics (DLs) are a family of logic-based knowledge representation (KR) formalisms designed to represent and reason about static conceptual knowledge in a semantically well-understood way. On the other hand, standard action formalisms are KR formalisms based on classical logic designed to model and reason about dynamic systems. The largest part of the present work is dedicated to integrating DLs with action formalisms, with the main goal of obtaining decidable action formalisms with an expressiveness significantly beyond propositional. To this end, we offer DL-tailored solutions to

Abstract:

This thesis presents a framework for automatic recognition of human actions in un- controlled, realistic video data with fixed cameras, such as surveillance videos. In this thesis, we divide human action recognition into three steps: description, representation, and classification of local spatio-temporal features. The bag-of-features model was used to build the classifier. Fisher Vectors were also studied. We focus on the potential of the methods, with the joint optimization of two constraints: the classification precision and its efficiency. On the performance side, a new local descriptor,

Abstract:

This thesis explores the ongoing accomplishment of ordinary life with dementia and asks how older people variously negotiate and make sense of the obstacles, dilemmas and opportunities of everyday life as lived. The thesis responds to persistent calls to recognise the heterogeneity of people living with dementia and to challenge predominantly negative cultural stereotypes. It draws together parallel developments in contemporary dementia studies, namely the extension of social citizenship into the realm of the ordinary and fresh critiques of the biomedicalisation of ageing, particularly the rap

Abstract:

This thesis takes up the debate between the agonal and deliberative interpretations of Hannah Arendt's conception of political action. In it, I redeem the model of action as performance found in her descriptions of agonal politics and pull emphasis away from the deliberative model of communicative action on the basis of Arendt's ontology of temporality and her account of the witnessing and judging spectatorship that preserves the meaningfulness of human events against oblivion. I find the danger of this loss of meaning accounted for by the agonal model in the syncopated relationship between

Abstract:

Time is a fundamental dimension of cognition and motor control. Preparation for imperative events, choosing the appropriate time to act if there are no external triggers, or deciding between action alternatives if their outcome depends on accurate timing, requires accurate estimates of time. Typically, the accuracy of such estimates is limited and we experience temporal uncertainty. I here distinguish between two types of temporal uncertainty: (a) external temporal uncertainty (ETU), which arises when the timing of imperative events is variable and (b) internal temporal uncertainty (ITU), aris

Abstract:

Le but de cette thèse est le développement et l'application de différentes méthodes de contrôle pour le contrôle actif du bruit en présence de perturbations incertaines et variables dans le temps. Une conception de contrôleur basée sur un modèle est appliquée et une méthodologie complète pour l'identification du modèle est introduite. Dans ce contexte, un banc d'essai reconfigurable basé sur un silencieux de bruit pour gaines a été conçu et construit. Il est entièrement équipé de capteurs et d'actionneurs afin de tester les algorithmes développés dans diverses configurations.Un schéma contre-r

Abstract:

<p>The study aimed to examine how motherhood is constructed by married working mothers and the impact thereof on their working lives. This qualitative study explored the individual experiences of 7 working married mothers with preschool aged children who reside in the Western Cape, South Africa. Individual semi-structured interviews were&nbsp<br>onducted and analysed using thematic analysis. The study was situated within a social constructionist theoretical framework which holds that it is through our interactions with others that we create, maintain and verify our ideas and perceptions of the

Abstract:

The goal of this thesis is to provide algorithms and models for classification, gesture recognition and anomaly detection with a partial focus on human activity. In applications where humans are involved, it is of paramount importance to provide robust and understandable algorithms and models. A way to accomplish this requirement is to use relatively simple and robust approaches, especially when devices are resource-constrained. The second approach, when a large amount of data is present, is to adopt complex algorithms and models and make them robust and interpretable from a human-like point

Cette thèse de doctorat est le résultat de mes travaux de recherche dans le domaine de l'apprentissage automatique, du traitement d'image et du transport intelligent pour résoudre le problème du système de protection des piétons (PPS) multi-tâches comprenant non seulement la classification, la détection et le suivi des piétons, mais aussi l'action des piétons- classification et prédiction des unités, et enfin estimation du risque piéton. De plus, notre système PPS utilise des approches originales d'apprentissage en profondeur inter-modalités. Le but de notre travail de recherche est de dévelop
