The Processor Configuration Problem (PCP) is a Constraint Optimization Problem. The task is to link up a finite set of processors into a network, while minimizing the maximum dist...
In many applications, such as decision support, negotiation, planning, scheduling, etc., one needs to express requirements that can only be partially satisfied. In order to expres...
This paper describes work done as part of the Oxford AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle) project [2] towards recognition of classes of objects to be encountered in a factory environme...
Abstract--Distributed detection of information flows is considered in which traffic sensors at different locations of a network observe transmission epochs. The traffic sensors com...
Quantizers are generally designed either for fixed-rate coding or variable-rate coding. Under common conditions, variable-rate quantization leads to the same mean distortion for ...
