We present a general framework for studying heuristics for planning in the belief space. Earlier work has focused on giving implementations of heuristics that work well on benchma...
Natural fractured media are highly unpredictable because of existing complex structures at the fracture and at the network levels. Fractures are by themselves heterogeneous objects...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
We consider the problem of estimating the relative orientation of a number of individual photocells -or pixels- that hold fixed relative positions. The photocells measure the inte...
