A set of parameters to assess the objective quality of visualizations of a voxel based data set, produced using a ray caster, is proposed as a first step toward the evaluation of the overall quality of these visualizations.Results obtained using synthetic data and a simple implementation of a ray caster are presented. The final goal of this evaluation will be the computation of “c...
This paper discusses dynamically reconfigurable field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and their use for different practical applications. The technique considered presents different ways that might be used in order to design virtual logic schemes, which have acquired such properties as flexibility, extensibility and reusability. Since objectorientedtechnology allows to design software s...

Mobile autonomous robotics is nowadays an area of study much addressed by research teams worldwide. One of the main challenges to create robots that can be really autonomous is the self-localization problem. For a robot to be able to plan a motion and move in a useful way, it should know where it is in the environment. Otherwise, it would just move randomly, probably not being useful at all. Then, there is also...
The difficulty in learning how to use flow cytometry, the high costs of flow cytometers and the geographical dispersion of users and training centres, make training in this area very expensive. Thus, a simulator for training in flow cytometry would be very interesting. In this paper we present a prototype of such a tool, which is under development for Windows platforms and it is me...
Configurable Architecture Processors are computational systems where programmable logic is inserted within the architecture of a traditional microprocessor core in order to combine the versatility of software and the high performance of hardware. This paper gives an overview of this kind of systems, discussing implementation factors and showing examples of proposed architectures. ;...
ConCise is a Philips research project on Configurable Architecture Processors, which is expected to make this kind of systems cost-effective for large scale production in the near future. This article starts by presenting the ConCISe architecture. Then it describes the development of a simulator for a ConCISe processor and discusses some of the simulation results. The analysis of t...
Ciber-Rato is a modality included in the Micro-Rato competition, directed to teams interested in the algorithmic issues and software control of mobile autonomous robots. This modality is supported by a software environment, which simulates both robots and a labirinth.This paper gives an overview of the simulation environment and presents the results and experiences gathered from the two...
