— In this paper, we describe the implementation of a precise reaching controller on an upper-torso humanoid robot. The solution we propose does not rely on prior models of the ki...

The support of QoS properties in component-based software requires the run-time selection of appropriate concrete QoS contracts at the ports of the interacting components. Such a s...
Abstract. We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. We view a traditional curve evolution energy functional as a negative l...

We present an approximation method that solves a class of Decentralized hybrid Markov Decision Processes (DEC-HMDPs). These DEC-HMDPs have both discrete and continuous state variab...
-- In interconnect-dominated designs, the ability to minimize layout-induced parasitic effects is crucial for rapid design closure. Deep sub-micron effects and ubiquitous interfere...
