This paper considers grasps and fixtures whose contacts react according to force-displacement laws consistent with friction constrains at the contacts. The passive force closure s...
—Network tomography has been proposed to ascertain internal network performances from end-to-end measurements. In this work, we present priority probing, an optimal probing schem...
