The Java programming language and environment is stimulating new research activities in many areas of computing, not the least of which is parallel computing. Parallel techniques ...
For half a century since computers came into existence, the goal of finding elegant and efficient algorithms to solve "simple" (welldefined and well-structured) problems ...
Level-of-detail (LOD) representations are an important tool for realtime rendering of complex geometric environments. The previously introduced progressive mesh representation def...
Often remote investigations use autonomous agents to observe an environment on behalf of absent scientists. Predictive exploration improves these systems’ efficiency with onboa...
Flexible general purpose robots need to tailor their visual processing to their task, on the fly. We propose a new approach to this within a planning framework, where the goal is ...
