— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
The clear and meaningful visualization of relations between software entities is an invaluable tool for the comprehension, evaluation, and reengineering of the structure of existi...
This paper describes the use of fault tolerance in a multiagent system. Such an approach is based on the modeling of autonomous agents with planning capabilities. These capabiliti...
Given a planar set S of arbitrary topology and a radius r, we show how to construct an r-tightening of S, which is a set whose boundary has a radius of curvature everywhere greate...
We propose a technique for the automated synthesis of new comeb services. Given a set of abstract BPEL4WS descriptions of component services, and a composition requirement, we aut...
