We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
STRANDS are thin elastic solids that are visually well approximated as smooth curves, and yet possess essential physical behaviors characteristic of solid objects such as twisting...
A partial order on Z obtained by taking the transitive closure of a random relation {i < j and there is an edge ij} is studied. Randomness stems from postulating that an edge ij...
This paper generalises and complements the work on combining temporal logics started by Finger and Gabbay [11, 10]. We present proofs of transference of soundness, completeness an...
The main aim of our work is to create a realistic model of the behaviour of the upper airways during laryngoscopy. In this procedure the anaesthetist uses a rigid blade to displac...
