Abstract. This paper proposes the Sequential Coordinate-Wise Algorithm (SCWA) to Discriminant Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (DNMF) for improving face recognition. DNMF incorpora...
Orc and Reo are two complementary approaches to the problem of coordinating components or services. On one hand, Orc is highly asynchronous, naturally dynamic, and based on epheme...
— We consider the problem of task assignment and execution in multirobot systems, by proposing a procedure for bid estimation in auction protocols. Auctions are of interest to mu...
— Modular robots can potentially assemble into a wide range of configurations to locomote in different environments. However, designing locomotion strategies for each configura...
This is a demonstration of data coordination in a peer data management system through the employment of distributed triggers. The latter express in a declarative manner individual...
