Programs fail mainly for two reasons: logic errors in the code, and exception failures. Exception failures can account for up to 2/3 of system crashes [6], hence are worthy of ser...
Selecting an optimum maintenance policy independent of other parameters of the production system does not always yield the overall optimum operating conditions. For instance, high...
We address the problem of automatically learning object models for recognition and pose estimation. In contrast to the traditional approach, we formulate the recognition problem a...
We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
Several variants of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm have been proposed in recent past to tackle the multi-objective optimization problems based on the concept of Pa...
