- Performancestudiesof concurrencycontrol algorithms for conventional database systems have shown that, under most operating circumstances, locking protocols outperform optimistic ...
This paper addresses the design of control policies for groups of up to 16 simple autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) for the cooperative transport of heavy objects of differe...
Physical agents (such as wheeled vehicles, UAVs, hovercraft, etc.) with simple control systems are often sensitive to changes in their physical design and control parameters. As s...

By constructing local extensions to SNOMED we aim to enrich existing medical and related data stores, simplify the expression of complex queries, and establish a foundation for se...
We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
