The Parisian Order of Barristers and the French Revolution
This investigation not only revises what historians have long thought of the attitude of barristers toward the French Revolution, but also offers insights into the corporate character of Old Regime society and how the Revolution affected it. Fitzsimmons's study suggests that many propertied commoners during the Revolution were not politically engaged, that they were not necessarily associated with a party or cause simply because of their place within a set of social relationships.
Gesture in Human-Computer Interaction and Simulation
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Gesture in Human-Computer Interaction and Simulation, GW 2005, held in May 2005. The 22 revised long papers and 14 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully selected from numerous submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on human perception and production of gesture, sign language representation, sign language recognition, vision-based gesture recognition, gesture analysis, gesture synthesis, gesture and music, and gesture interaction in multimodal systems.
Gesture-Based Communication in Human-Computer Interaction
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Gesture Workshop, GW'99, held in Gif-sur-Yvette, France, in March 1999. The 16 revised long papers and seven revised short papers were carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. Also included are four invited papers and the transcription of a round table discussion. The papers are organized in sections on human perception and production of gesture, localization and segmentation, recognition, sign language, gesture synthesis and animation, and multimodality.
Advanced Internet Based Systems and Applications
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on on Signal-Image Technology and Internet-Based Systems, SITIS 2006, held in Hammamet, Tunisia, in December, 2006. The 33 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from the best papers presented at the conference and are presented in revised and extended form. Part of the papers focus on the emerging modeling, representation and retrieval techniques that take into account the amount, type and diversity of information accessible in distributed computing environment. Other contributions are devoted to emerging and novel concepts, architectures and methodologies for creating an interconnected world in which information can be exchanged easily, tasks can be processed collaboratively, and communities of users with similarly interests can be formed while addressing security threats that are present more than ever before.
Data Management in Grid and Peer-to-Peer Systems
The synergy and convergence of research on grid computing and peer-to-peer (P2P) computing have materialized in the meeting of the two research communities: parallel systems and distributed systems. The main common objective is to harness Internet-connected resources (e.g., CPU, memory, network bandwidth, data sources) at very large scale. In this framework, the Globe Conference tries to consolidate the bidirectional bridge between grid and P2P systems and large-scale heterogeneous distributed database systems. Today, the grid and P2P systems hold a more and more important position in the landscape of the research in large-scale distributed systems, and the applications which require an effe...
Gesture and Sign Language in Human-Computer Interaction and Embodied Communication
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 9th International Gesture Workshop, GW 2011, held in Athens, Greece, in May 2011. The 24 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. They are ordered in five sections named: human computer interaction; cognitive processes; notation systems and animation; gestures and signs: linguistic analysis and tools; and gestures and speech.
Business Ecosystems
A business ecosystem may be defined as a dynamic group of largely independent economic players that create products or services that together constitute a coherent solution for customers. Business ecosystems are high on the agenda of many business leaders. They are now highly prevalent, frequently disruptive, and all companies should add the required capabilities to their strategy toolbox. Business Ecosystems is based on more than three years of research by the BCG Henderson Institute, their work with dozens of companies on their ecosystem strategies, and hundreds of conversations with academics, managers, investors, entrepreneurs, and government employees. Part I reviews the fundamentals of...
Text, Speech, and Dialogue
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Text, Speech, and Dialogue, TSD 2022, held in Brno, Czech Republic, in September 2022. The 43 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The topical sections "Text", "Speech", and "Dialogue" deal with the following issues: speech recognition; corpora and language resources; speech and spoken language generation; tagging, classification and parsing of text and speech; semantic processing of text and speech; integrating applications of text and speech processing; automatic dialogue systems; multimodal techniques and modelling.
Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects, AMDO 2008, held in Port d'Andratx, Mallorca, Spain, in July 2008. The 36 revised full papers and 7 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers are organized in topical section on computer graphics: human modelling and animation, human motion: analysis, tracking, 3D reconstruction and recognition, multimodal user interaction: VR and ar, speech, biometrics, and advanced multimedia systems: standards, indexed video contents.
Database and Expert Systems Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22 International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2011, held in Toulouse, France, August 29 - September 2, 2011. The 52 revised full papers and 40 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 207 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on query processing; database semantics; skyline queries; security and privacy; spatial and temporal data; semantic web search; storage and search; web search; data integration, transactions and optimization; and web applications.
