Many face database and recognition systems have been constructed in specially designed studios with various illuminations, poses, and expressions. However, none of these databases...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
Emerging infrastructure of computational grids composed of Clusters-of-Clusters (CoC) interlinked through high throughput channels promises unprecedented raw compute power for ter...
A strength of commitment protocols is that they enable agents to act flexibly, thereby enabling them to accommodate varying local policies and respond to exceptions. A consequent ...
