Intel Labs technology evangelist Sean Koehl speculates that technological advances could make realistic three-dimensional (3D) Internet applications a reality in five years. Potential applications include making presentations at large conferences more immersive through 3D virtual world technology. Consultant Dan Olds believes that a 3D Internet will increase attendance at virtual meetings, while [...]

HP Labs researchers have developed a way to use Twitter to gauge real-time interest in movies and accurately predict how they will perform at the box office on opening weekend. HP Labs’ Sitaram Asur and Bernardo Huberman developed computational formulas that analyze Twitter feeds and use the rate [...]
As a simple rule of recursion, any function can be computed using a recursive routine if :
1. The function can be expressed in its own form.
2. There exists a termination step, the point at which f(x) is known for a particular ‘x’.
Therefore to write a recursive program for the binary search, we have to express [...]

The European Union-funded IRPS project has developed 3D LIMS, three-dimensional (3D) Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology that can determine the location of moving objects in a given area. The researchers use LIDAR to first build a 3D map of an area, which enables the system to locate moving objects as well as [...]

North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers have developed a way for computer programs to run up to 20 percent faster and possibly incorporate new security measures.The approach involves running different parts of some programs, such as word processors and Web browsers, at the same time, which allows them to operate [...]
