Optimal behavior is a very desirable property of autonomous agents and, as such, has received much attention over the years. However, making optimal decisions and executing optima...
Techniques for color-based tracking of faces or hands often assume a static skin color model. However, skin color perceived by a camera can change when lighting changes. In common...

Efficient multi-dimensional data search has received much attention in centralized systems. However, its implementation in large-scale distributed systems is not a trivial job and...
A new stochastic optimization algorithm referred to by the authors as the `Mean-Variance Optimization' (MVO) algorithm is presented in this paper. MVO falls into the category ...
