Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
We introduce a shared memory software prototype system for executing programs with nested parallelism on a network of workstations. This programming model exhibits a very convenie...
— We describe the design of a juggling robot that is able to vertically bounce a completely unconstrained ball without any sensing. The robot consists of a linear motor actuating...
