The problem of minimizing communication in a distributed networked system is considered in a discrete-event formalism where the system is modeled as a finite-state automaton. The s...
Today's category-level object recognition systems largely focus on fronto-parallel views of objects with characteristic texture patterns. To overcome these limitations, we pr...
This research investigates an evolutionary approach to engineering agent collectives that accomplish tasks cooperatively. In general, reproduction and selection form the two corner...
Digital archives protect important data collections from failures by making multiple copies at other archives, so that there are always several good copies of a collection. In a c...
Communication among agents requires a common vocabulary to facilitate successful information exchange. One way to achieve this is to assume the existence of a common ontology amon...
