Abstract. One key issue facing robotic teams is effective coordination mechanisms. Many robotic groups operate within domains where restrictions such as limiting areas of operation...
Abstract. In an open environment populated by heterogeneous information services integration will be a major challenge. Even if the problem is similar to planning in some aspects, ...
Services are usually developed and deployed independently; and systems can be formed by composing relevant services to achieve set goals. In such an open and dynamic environment, s...
To create a realistic environment, some simulations require simulated agents with human behavior pattern. Creating such agents with realistic behavior can be a tedious and time con...
e-Science has much to benefit from the emerging field of grid computing. However, construction of e-Science grids is a complex and inefficient undertaking. In particular, deployme...
