A D-polyhedron is a polyhedron P such that if x, y are in P then so are their componentwise max and min. In other words, the point set of a D-polyhedron forms a distributive latti...
In many multi-agent applications such as distributed sensor nets, a network of agents act collaboratively under uncertainty and local interactions. Networked Distributed POMDP (ND...
The calculation of salient structures is one of the early and basic ideas of perceptual organization in Computer Vision. Saliency algorithms typically mark edge-points with some s...
In this paper, we introduce the Skellam distribution as a sensor noise model for CCD or CMOS cameras. This is derived from the Poisson distribution of photons that determine the s...
Software firms are increasingly distributing their software development effort across multiple locations. In this paper we present the results of a two year field study that inves...
