Rule Representation in Distributed Environments with Accepting Networks of Splicing Processors.

This paper presents the model named Accepting Networks of Evolutionary Processors as NP-problem solver inspired in the biological DNA operations. A processor has a rules set, splicing rules in this model,an object multiset and a filters set. Rules can be applied in parallel since there exists a large number of copies of objects in the multiset. Processors can form a graph in order to solve a given problem. This paper shows the network configuration in order to solve the SAT problem using linear resources and time. A rule representation arquitecture in distributed environments can be easily implemented using these networks of processors, such as decision support systems, as shown in the paper.

Multiple feature points representation in target localization of wireless visual sensor networks

This paper discusses the target localization problem in wireless visual sensor networks. Additive noises and measurement errors will affect the accuracy of target localization when the visual nodes are equipped with low-resolution cameras. In the goal of improving the accuracy of target localization without prior knowledge of the target, each node extracts multiple feature points from images to represent the target at the sensor node level. A statistical method is presented to match the most correlated feature point pair for merging the position information of different sensor nodes at the base station. Besides, in the case that more than one target exists in the field of interest, a scheme for locating multiple targets is provided. Simulation results show that, our proposed method has desirable performance in improving the accuracy of locating single target or multiple targets. Results also show that the proposed method has a better trade-off between camera node usage and localization accuracy.

A summary of remarks made by William C. Lane, Librarian of Harvard University, published in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, December 1909

Lane addressed the Massachusetts Historical Society about the recent discovery of foundations walls, likely from Goffe College, made during the Boston Elevated Railway's excavations in Harvard Square for the subway on Massachusetts Avenue.

The UN General Assembly Resolution on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Proceedings - an Example for Europe. IES Policy Brief Issue 2013/04 • May 2013

Summary. The EU’s attempts to adopt an EU-wide instrument on the right to access to legal aid in criminal proceedings have not been successful so far. The important issue was originally part of Measure C of the Roadmap for criminal procedural rights,1 but due to political difficulties legal aid was dropped from the agenda. However, on a different plane agreement was reached on this topic as the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has adopted the world’s first international instrument dedicated to access to legal aid in December 2012.2 This policy brief argues that the EU should carry on in the ‘spirit’ of these recent developments and adopt a directive providing suspects and defendants with access to legal aid. 1 Council Resolution of 30 November 2009 on a Roadmap for strengthening procedural rights of suspected or accused persons in criminal proceedings, OJ C 295/1, 4 December 2009; hereafter will be referred to this Council Resolution as the ‘Roadmap’; for further information see M.
