Mechanism design has found considerable application to the construction of agent-interaction protocols. In the standard setting, the type (e.g., utility function) of an agent is n...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In this paper we describe a robust and efficient procedure to detect skin region with homogeneous color values in monocular indoor images. The mathematical background is a functio...
The detection and pose estimation of people in images and video is made challenging by the variability of human appearance, the complexity of natural scenes, and the high dimensio...

In evolutionary algorithms, the typical post-processing phase involves selection of the best-of-run individual, which becomes the final outcome of the evolutionary run. Trivial f...
