We investigate coordination issues in a distributed jobshop scheduling system in which agents schedulepotentially contentious activities asynchronously in parallel. Agents in such...
This paper presents an online system which is capable of reconstructing and rendering dynamic objects in real scenes. We reconstruct visual hulls of the objects by using a shape-f...
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) allow one to model complex dynamic decision or control problems that include both action outcome uncertainty and imperfect ...
Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...
