Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
Abstract. A major problem considering parallel computing is maintaining memory consistency and coherency, and ensuring ownership and access rights. These problems mainly arise from...
We consider a distributed information system that allows autonomous consumers to query autonomous providers. We focus on the problem of query allocation from a new point of view, ...
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, in particular, Web Services designs are currently widely used for the development of open, large-scale interoperable systems. In those sys...
— We present algorithms to detect and precisely localize curbs and stairways for autonomous navigation. These algorithms combine brightness information (in the form of edgels) wi...
