Natural images are the composite consequence of multiple factors related to scene
structure, illumination, and imaging. For facial images, the factors include different facial …

We present a new method for the global registration of several overlapping three-
dimensional (3D) surfaces sampled on an object. The method is based on the ICP algorithm …

This article introduces SESSL (S imulation E xperiment S pecification via a S cala L ayer), an
embedded domain-specific language for simulation experiments. It serves as an additional …

With the increasing complexity of simulation studies, and thus increasing complexity of
simulation experiments, there is a high demand for better support for them to be conducted …

Dry-lab experimentation is being increasingly used to complement wet-lab experimentation.
However, conducting dry-lab experiments is a challenging endeavor that requires the …

The Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formal modeling and simulation (M&S)
framework (which supports hierarchical and modular model composition) has been widely …

Model validation is essential in modeling and simulation. It ldquofinalizesrdquo the
modeling process, and provides the base for reliable experiments with the model, and thus …

I submitted this thesis to the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering of the
University of Rostock in August 2010, after working on this topic for more than four years. 1 …

Medical device security is a growing concern for medical device manufacturers, healthcare
delivery organisations and regulators in the industry. Increasingly, researchers are …

Microsimulation is an increasingly popular tool in the social sciences. Individual behavior is
described by a (commonly stochastic) model and subsequently simulated to study outcomes …
