This paper presents an inspection method of particle contamination for semiconductor reticles using continuous wavelet transform. Particle defect is considered as a singularity in...
A number of techniques have been proposed to reduce the risk of data loss in hard-drives, from redundant disks (e.g., RAID systems) to error coding within individual drives. Disk ...
Several distributed constraint reasoning algorithms employ Depth First Search (DFS) trees on the constraint graph that spans involved agents. In this article we show that it is po...
A great deal of research has addressed the problem of generating optimal plans, but these plans are of limited use in circumstances where noisy sensors, unanticipated exogenous ac...
As no plan can cover all possible contingencies, the ability to detect failures during plan execution is crucial to the robustness of any autonomous system operating in a dynamic ...
