Self-organization is built upon two main building blocks: adaptive and uncoupled interaction mechanisms and context-awareness. Here we show how the middleware TOTA (Tuples On The ...
Autonomous agents interacting in an open world can be considered to be primarily driven by self interests. Previous work in this area has prescribed a strategy of reciprocal behav...
This paper describes PARDIS, a system containing explicit support for interoperability of PARallel DIStributed applications. PARDIS is based on the Common Object Request Broker Ar...
Most tracking algorithms are based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution of a probabilistic framework called Hidden Markov Model, where the distribution of the object state a...
