Multi-tier architectures are widely used by internet applications. Guaranteeing the performance, and more generally the quality of service (QoS), of such applications remains a cr...
This paper addresses the problem of doubletalk detector calibration for acoustic echo cancellers in hands-free environments such as videoconferencing. A statistical model of a rec...
Genetic Algorithms are very powerful search methods that are used in different optimization problems. Parallel versions of genetic algorithms are easily implemented and usually in...
— 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 ...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
