process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
A number of today's state-of-the-art planners are based on forward state-space search. The impressive performance can be attributed to progress in computing domain independen...
Point-based surface processing has developed into an attractive alternative to mesh-based processing techniques for a number of geometric modeling applications. By working with po...
ed from context by seeing an explanation inferentially, much in the same way that early expert systems saw an explanation as chaining of inferences. This approach omitted, for the ...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
