Abstract Parallel asynchronous iterative algorithms relax synchronization and communication requirements, and can potentially extend Desktop Grids beyond embarrassingly parallel ap...
Representing and reasoning with an agent's preferences is important in many applications of constraints formalisms. Such preferences are often only partially ordered. One clas...
An integrated modeling and robust model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown steady state. First, the nonlinear system is id...

The paper presents a general framework for concurrent navigation and exploration of unknown environments based on discrete potential fields that guide the robot motion. These poten...
In this paper, we present a novel image representation that renders it possible to access natural scenes by local semantic description. Our work is motivated by the continuing effo...
