Abstract-- This paper addresses the problem of tracking extended objects, such as ships or a convoy of vehicles moving in urban environment. Two Monte Carlo techniques for extended...
Prototyping is a valuable technique to help software engineers explore the design space while gaining insight on the dynamics of the system. In this paper, we describe a method for...

nce of computation has systematically abstracted away the physical world. Embedded software systems, however, engage the physical world. Time, concurrency, liveness, robustness, c...
Protocol and system designers use verification techniques to analyze a system's correctness properties. Network operators need verification techniques to ensure the "cor...
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
