Abstract--The ranking problem has become increasingly important in modern applications of statistical methods in automated decision making systems. In particular, we consider a for...
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
We introduce a new data structure in the form of a light hierarchy for efficiently ray-tracing scenes with many light sources. An octree is constructed with the point light sourc...
—We study the problem of scheduling periodic real-time tasks which have individual minimum reward requirements. We consider situations where tasks generate jobs that can be provi...
— We present an algorithm that probabilistically covers a bounded region of the state space of a nonlinear system with a sparse tree of feedback stabilized trajectories leading t...
