If robotic agents are to act autonomously they must have the ability to construct and reason about models of their physical environment. For example, planning to achieve goals req...
The role that design by contract plays in the specification, monitoring, and reuse of classes is of increasing importance in the OO community. Although recognizably useful, neverth...
We propose a new approach to collision and self– collision detection of dynamically deforming objects that consist of tetrahedrons. Tetrahedral meshes are commonly used to repre...

Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) allow one to model complex dynamic decision or control problems that include both action outcome uncertainty and imperfect ...
This article discusses implementation issues for the LBATCH and ABATCH batch means procedures of Fishman and Yarberry (1997). Theses procedures dynamically increase the batch size...
