Transactional memory is a promising, optimistic synchronization mechanism for chip-multiprocessor systems. The simplicity of atomic sections, instead of using explicit locks, is al...
Abstract-- Complex robots with many interacting components in their control architectures are subject to component failures from which neither the control architecture nor the impl...
Flat appearance-based systems, which combine clever image representations with standard classifiers, might be the most effective way to recognize objects using current technologie...
Traditional knowledge representations were developed to encode complete, explicit and executable programs, a goal that makes them less than ideal for representing the incomplete an...
Abstract. The purpose of this research is to show the relevance of philosophical theories to agent knowledge base (AKB) design, implementation, and behaviour. We will describe how ...
