— We present an optimization-based approach to grasping and path planning for mobile manipulators. We focus on pick-and-place operations, where a given object must be moved from ...
In this paper a hybrid fractal and Discrete Cosine transform (DCT) coder is developed. Drawing on the ability of DCT to remove inter-pixel redundancies and on the ability of fracta...
Video on Demand (VoD) services are very appealing these days. In this work, we discuss four distinct alternatives for the architecture of a VoD server and compare their performanc...

—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
Abstract--This paper provides a systematic mutual information (MI) and multichannel beamforming (MBF) characterization of optimized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communicat...
