— Algorithmic problem reduction is a fundamental approach to problem solving in many fields, including robotics. To solve a problem using this scheme, we must reduce the problem...
Personal experience computing is an emerging research area in computing support for capturing, archiving, editing, and utilizing of digital personal experiences. This paper presen...
A critical problem in clustering research is the definition of a proper metric to measure distances between points. Semi-supervised clustering uses the information provided by the ...
We describe an innovative solution to the problem of scheduling astronomy observations for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, an airborne observatory. The probl...
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be ...
