      Getting ready for approximate computing: Trading parallelism for accuracy for dss workloads 

      Trancoso, Pedro (Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)
      Processors have evolved dramatically in the last years and current multicore systems deliver very high performance. We are observing a rapid increase in the number of cores per processor thus resulting in more dense and ...

      Dynamic split: Flexible border between instruction and data cache 

      Trancoso, Pedro (2005)
      Current microprocessors are optimized for the average use. Nevertheless, it is known that different applications impose different demands on the system. This work focuses on the reconfiguration of the first-level caches. ...

      Moving to memoryland: In-memory computation for existing applications 

      Trancoso, Pedro (Association for Computing Machinery, Inc, 2015)
      Migrating computation to memory was proposed a long time ago as a way to overcome the memory bandwidth and latency bottleneck, as well as increase the computation parallelism. While the concept had been applied to several ...

      Mean-field semantics for a process calculus for spatially-explicit ecological models 

      Toro, Mauricio; Philippou, Anna; Arboleda, S.; Puerta, M.; Vélez S, C. M. (Open Publishing Association, 2016)
      We define a mean-field semantics for S-PALPS, a process calculus for spatially-explicit, individual-based modeling of ecological systems. The new semantics of S-PALPS allows an interpretation of the average behavior of a ...

      Synchronous parallel composition in a process calculus for ecological modelsAAA 

      Toro, Mauricio; Philippou, Anna; Kassara, Christina; Sfenthourakis, Spyros (2014)
      In this paper we extend PALPS, a process calculus proposed for the spatially-explicit, individual-based modeling of ecological systems, with a synchronous parallel operator. The semantics of the resulting calculus, S-PALPS, ...

      Rapid prototyping of the data-driven chip-multiprocessor (D 2-CMP) using FPGAs 

      Tatas, Konstantinos; Kyriacou, Costas; Evripidou, Paraskevas; Trancoso, Pedro; Wong, S. (2008)
      This paper presents the FPGA implementation of the prototype for the Data-Driven Chip-Multiprocessor (D2-CMP). In particular, we study the implementation of a Thread Synchronization Unit (TSU) on FPGA, a hardware unit that ...

      Grid resource selection by application benchmarking for computational haemodynamics applications 

      Tirado-Ramos, A.; Tsouloupas, George; Dikaiakos, Marios D.; Sloot, P. (2005)
      Grid benchmarking for improved computational resource selection can shed a light for improving the performance of computationally intensive applications. In this paper we report on a number of experiments with a biomedical ...

      Image-based crowd rendering 

      Tecchia, F.; Loscos, C.; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos L. (2002)
      Rendering crowded scenes with thousands of different animated virtual people in real time is challenging. An image-based rendering approach for displaying multiple avatars is proposed. The system allows real-time rendering ...

      Visualizing crowds in real-time 

      Tecchia, F.; Loscos, C.; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos L. (2002)
      Real-time crowd visualization has recently attracted quite an interest from the graphics community and, as interactive applications become even more complex, there is a natural demand for new and unexplored application ...

      Computing the acceptability semantics 

      Toni, F.; Kakas, Antonis C. (1995)
      We present a proof theory and a proof procedure for nonmonotonic reasoning based on the acceptability semantics for logic programming, formulated in an argumentation framework. These proof theory and procedure are defined ...

      Haemostasis in minimal invasive gynaecological surgery energies: Technical aspects, safety and efficacy 

      Tanos, Vasilios; Neofytou, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (Springer Verlag, 2016)
      The objective of this article is to examine the options, the effectiveness and the safety of the energies used in gynaecological minimal invasive surgery (MIGS), laparoscopic surgery developed in the end of 20th century. ...

      A pragmatic and pervasive methodology to web service discovery 

      Tamani, E.; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2006)
      Service-Oriented computing can be characterized as the motivating force for interoperable web applications. Businesses that embark on service-oriented technology are inclined to an effective interoperation with other ...

      Modelling inhibition in metabolic pathways through abduction and induction 

      Tamaddoni-Nezhad, A.; Kakas, Antonis C.; Muggleton, S.; Pazos, F. (2004)
      In this paper, we study how a logical form of scientific modelling that integrates together abduction and induction can be used to understand the functional class of unknown enzymes or inhibitors. We show how we can model, ...

      Applying trust mechanisms in an agent-based P2P network of service providers and requestors 

      Tamani, E.; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2006)
      Building an agent-based network of service providers and requestors requires the effective management of the interactions among peers. These interactions, as in real life, require the mutual trust of the peers participating ...

      Combining pragmatics and intelligence in semantic web service discovery 

      Tamani, E.; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2007)
      In this paper we present an architecture that augments existing semantic-based web service discovery solutions. The idea is to combine principles from the semantic and pragmatic web in order for the web service selection ...

      A pragmatic methodology to web service discovery 

      Tamani, E.; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2007)
      As in linguistics the semantics co-exist with pragmatics to provide complete and unambiguous meaning to utterances, in the same way the pragmatics should augment the semantics in intelligent applications. Service-Oriented ...
