A system for program synthesis using annotations based on enumeration patterns includes a memory device for storing program code, and at least one processor device operatively coupled to the memory device. The at least one processor device is configured to execute program code stored on the memory device to obtain a set of annotated terms including one or more terms each annotated with an enumeration pattern, translate problem text into a formal specification using natural language processing, the formal specification being described as a set of rules associated with predicates, and synthesize one or more terms satisfying the set of rules of the formal specification based on the set of annotated terms to generate a computer program.

Program synthesis using annotations based on enumeration patterns

Smart contract code is verified by storing smart contract code, identifying a type system for verifying a determinism of the smart contract code based on a first set of security-level values and a second set of security level values, and verifying the determinism of the smart contract code by taking the first set of security-level values as deterministic values and the second set of security level values as non-deterministic values.

Static analysis of smart contract determinism

An example operation may include one or more of reading first and second output values of an entity from first and second memory addresses, respectively, storing the first and second output values in a blockchain data structure, executing the blockchain data structure, where the executing comprises selecting one of the first and second output values based on an operation to perform with a third output value, and modifying the selected output value based on the third output value, and storing the modified selected output value at an output memory address.

Multi-candidate data structure for transaction validation

A wireless communication network that forms an ad-hoc network without the arrangement of a controlling station sets a period that a communication apparatus can utilize with priority and performs isochronous communication in the period as required. When isochronous communication has not been performed or after isochronous communication has finished in the priority utilization period, other communication apparatuses perform arbitrary communication. When another communication is performed in a communication apparatus's own priority utilization period, the start of isochronous communication is temporarily delayed. In an ad-hoc communication environment, data having a real-time characteristic, such as AV content, can be efficiently transmitted through the isochronous communication.

Wireless communication system, wireless communication apparatus, wireless communication method, and computer program

A mobile device that enables a user friendly selection of a target wireless enabled device, a wireless enabled device being configured to establish a wireless link with other devices, includes an imaging unit that acquires images of the surrounding of the mobile device and a display that displays images acquired by the imaging unit. An object detection unit is provided to detect wireless enabled devices within images acquired by the imaging unit, the wireless enabled devices being configured to establish a wireless link with other devices. Further, a user interface and a wireless interface are provided to establish a wireless link to a selected wireless enabled device. The display is configured to indicate detected wireless enabled devices in images displayed on the display and the user inter-face is configured to enable a user to select a wireless enabled device indicated on the display.

Mobile device and method for establishing a wireless link

A mechanism related to a relay node in consideration of movement. The relay device includes: a relay unit that relays a wireless signal between a first device that is a connection destination and one or more subordinate second devices; and a control unit that assigns a network layer IP address, which has a prefix portion that is at least partially common, to each of the one or more second devices.

Relay device, terminal device, communication control device, and method

A computer-implemented method and computing device are provided for generating a formal specification of a function. The method includes extracting a set of words from requirements of the function. The method further includes translating the set of words to a set of specification fragments. The method also includes converting the set of the specification fragments to a set of production rules. The method additionally includes constructing multiple prospective specifications from the set of production rules taking into account a syntax of the formal specification. The method further includes validating each of the multiple prospective specifications using input-output examples. The method also includes generating the formal specification of the function from validated ones of the multiple prospective specifications.

Formal specification generation using examples

A computer-implemented method and system for providing unidirectional traffic flow distributions. The method includes generating a directed graph representing a position of a vehicle and a road network within a predetermined distance of the position of the vehicle, wherein vertices represent decision points along an edge and edges represent route segments between adjacent vertices, determining a plurality of travel routes within the directed graph by estimating a shortest path and at least one index for each edge in the directed graph, wherein each travel route includes one or more edges, selecting a travel route from the plurality of travel routes, and outputting unidirectional traffic information for edges included along the travel route.

Visualizing unidirectional traffic information

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for estimating an ability of a worker in a process for integrating work results of multiple workers for the same task includes acquiring, for each of one or more tasks, a work result of a preceding-stage worker and a work result of a succeeding-stage worker that works based on the work result of the preceding-stage worker. The method also includes estimating multiple parameters of a probability model in which an ability of the succeeding-stage worker conditioned by a quality of the work result of the preceding-stage worker is introduced as a conditioned ability parameter, based on the multiple work results obtained for each of the one or more tasks.

An adaptive sensing system can comprise an optical or infrared camera to generate image information relating to a region of observation, a passive sensor to receive electromagnetic radiation, an active sensor to emit and receive electromagnetic radiation, an image processing unit configured to detect the presence of human beings and objects other than human beings in the region of observation based on the generated image information and a control unit. When presence of a human being is detected, the control unit controls the passive sensor so as to receive electromagnetic radiation from at least the region where the human being is detected, and when presence of an object other than a human being is detected, the control unit controls the active sensor so as to transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation to and from at least the region where the object is detected.
