The value of language resources is greatly enhanced if they share a common markup with an explicit minimal semantics. Achieving this goal for lexical databases is difficult, as large-scale resources can realistically only be obtained by up-translation from pre-existing dictionaries, each with its own proprietary structure. This paper describes the approach we have taken in the Concede project, which aims to develop compatible lexical databases for six Central and Eastern European languages. Starting with sample entries from original presentation-oriented electronic representations of dictionaries, we transformed the data into an intermediate TEI-compatible representation to provide a common baseline for evaluating and comparing the dictionaries. We then developed a more restrictive encoding, formalised as an XML DTD with a clearly-defined semantic interpretation. We present this DTD and discuss a sample conversion from TEI, together with an application which hyperlinks a HTML representation of the dictionary to on-line concordancing over a corpus.
A new approach for tracking mobiles in a multipath environment is presented. In this paper, we introduce the local scattering model into the tracking algorithm, which utilizes the linear approximation model, to improv...

Nowadays, Workflow Management offers many advantages to the tourism industry due to the high degree of competition existing in this field and the need to quickly develop new products, offers, and services. This need for flexibility cannot be achieved without improving the processes involved in the information systems. Workflow technology facilitates this constant evolution, providing modeling methodologies and software to support all the processes taking place in a given company. This article studies the application of such technologies to businesses belonging to the tourism sector and focuses on the improvement of information systems to obtain higher customer satisfaction. To achieve this objective, a modeling methodology oriented toward customer satisfaction is presented. This is applied to the set of information systems involved in making a trip by plane and more specifically to aspects such as booking from intermediary companies and the information systems used by airline companies in airports.

Combining position and force control is highly desirable in many robot applications. Many years of extensive research has resulted in a number of promising control approaches, but often too much engineering effort is required in order to evaluate a low level (high performance) control scheme on a real manipulator. The new control system we have obtained has two main advantages: first it provides a total open control architecture, and second it is the simplicity and the interactivity of the platform developed. Using this new control architecture, any force and motion control strategy can be programmed and implemented in a graphical and easy way.

This paper describes a design of an associative memory array processor that can be used in the acquisition and processing of ultrasonograph images. The major concept is to design a parallel architecture that reduces task's execution time by analyzing multiple parts of the image concurrently. The architecture constitutes a distinctive type of single-instruction stream, multiple-data stream machine that is built around content-addressable associative memory slabs, that allow parallel access of multiple memory words. The basic building block of this architecture is a one-pixel processing element, which can perform the standard load (data acquisition) function and also contains some special comparison logic to enable its content to be compared with an external data. Several image processing operations are implemented in parallel, among them: component labeling, size filtering, pattern centralization, and pattern recognition. The proposed novel architecture can label specific regions into the image and isolate them intelligently. It is also capable of storing templates that may be considered as references for similar cases. The system is able to perform learning process and extract features from several input patterns and store the reference pattern in a slice. Moreover, the system is capable of comparing an input image with a pre-stored template during recognition process. The proposed architecture is of interest because it speeds up the recognition process and helps radiology specialists to write their reports confidently.
