Systems that track sensed data trigger alerts based on the evaluation of some condition. In the presence of loss data a conservative condition may not generate a necessary alert an...
We propose a generic computational framework for maintaining a discrete geometric structure defined by a collection of static and mobile objects. We assume that the mobile object...
