ACM Transactions on Graphics ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that aims to disseminate the latest findings of note in the field of computer graphics. It has been published since 1982 by the Association for Computing Machinery. Starting in 2003, all papers accepted for presentation at the annual SIGGRAPH conference are printed in a special summer issue of the journal.
Across Project ACROSS is a Singular Strategic R&D Project led by Treelogic funded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade through the Plan Avanza I+D initiative. ACROSS carries out research and development activities in the field of Robotics and Cognitive Computing over an execution time-frame from 2009 to 2011. ACROSS project involves a number higher than 100 researchers from 13 Spanish entities.
ACROSS modifies the design of social robotics, blocked in providing predefined services, going further by means of intelligent systems. These systems are able to self-reconfigure and modify their behaviour autonomously through the capacity for understanding, learning and software remote access. In order to provide an open framework for collaboration between universities, research centres and the Administration, ACROSS develops Open Source Services available to everybody. ACROSS works in three application domains:
• Autonomous living: robots are used as technological tools to help handicapped person into daily tasks.
• Psycho-Affective Disorders (autism): robots are used to mitigate cognitive disorders.
• Marketing: robots are used to interact with humans in a recreational approach.
