Abstract. In Distributed Problem-solving (DPS) systems a group of purposefully designed computational agents interact and co-ordinate their activities so as to jointly achieve a gl...
The Self-Mobile Space Manipulator (SM2) has evolved to adapt to the new pre-integrated I-beam structure of the Space Station Freedom (SSF). In this paper, we first briefly overvie...
Both the logic and the stochastic analysis of discrete-state systems are hindered by the combinatorial growth of the state space underlying a high-level model. In this work, we con...
In attempting to address real-life decision problems, where uncertainty about input data prevails, some kind of representation of imprecise information is important and several ha...
Evolutionary techniques provide powerful tools to design novel solutions for hard problems in different areas. However, the problem of scale (i.e. how to create a large, complex s...
