Abstract--Intervals are a new model for parallel programming based on an explicit happens before relation. Intervals permit fine-grained but high-level control of the program sched...
Abstract— This paper investigates control laws allowing mobile, autonomous agents to optimally position themselves on the line for distributed sensing in a nonuniform field. We ...
This paper proposes to use video sensor nodes to provide an efficient intrusion detection system. We use a scheduling mechanism that takes into account the criticality of the surve...
We describe two novel constructs for programming parallel machines with multi-level memory hierarchies: call-up, which allows a child task to invoke computation on its parent, and...

In environmental and natural resource planning domains actions are taken at a large number of locations over multiple time periods. These problems have enormous state and action s...
