We describe a mobile robot system, designed to assist residents of an retirement facility. This system is being developed to respond to an aging population and a predicted shortage...
A distributed search system consists of a large number of autonomous search servers logically connected in a peerto-peer network. Each search server maintains a local index of a c...
Modern distributed software applications generally operate in complex and heterogeneous computing environments (like the World Wide Web). Different paradigms (client-server, mobili...
Progressive processing allows a system to satisfy a set of requests under time pressure by limiting the amount of processing allocated to each task based on a predefined hierarchic...
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...
