In this paper we introduce Refractor Importance Sampling (RIS), an improvement to reduce error variance in Bayesian network importance sampling propagation under evidential reason...
We present a new formulation of distributed task assignment, called Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (GMAP), which is derived from an NP-hard combinatorial optimization probl...
The primary focus of this paper is the design of efficient algorithm for the calculation of solution to the placement of proxies for performance optimization in hierarchical relia...
We study the integration of functions with respect to an unknown density. Information is available as oracle calls to the integrand and to the nonnormalized density function. We ar...
Tensegrity structures are lightweight structures composed of cables in tension and struts in compression. Since tensegrity systems exhibit geometrically nonlinear behavior, findin...
