A great deal of research has addressed the problem of generating optimal plans, but these plans are of limited use in circumstances where noisy sensors, unanticipated exogenous ac...
As no plan can cover all possible contingencies, the ability to detect failures during plan execution is crucial to the robustness of any autonomous system operating in a dynamic ...
Computer visualization has advanced dramatically over the last few years, partially driven by the exploding video game market. 3D hardware acceleration has reached the point where...
Graph-based formalisms of quantum computation provide an abstract and symbolic way to represent and simulate computations. However, manual manipulation of such graphs is slow and e...
Grid computing offers a promising approach to solving challenging computational problems in an environment consisting of a large number of easily accessible resources. In this pape...
