— We consider feed-forward packet switched networks with fixed routing and random congestion losses. Users of the network are assumed to be greedy in the sense that each user in...
Abstract— Physical interference limits the utility of largescale multi-robot systems. We present an empirical study of the effects of such interference in systems with hundreds o...
The paper presents a primary-backup protocol to manage replicated in-memory database systems (IMDBs). The protocol exploits two features of IMDBs: coarse-grain concurrency control...
– We describe a monocular robot vision system which accomplishes accurate 3-DOF dead-reckoning, closedloop motion control, and precipice and obstacle detection, all in dynamic en...
