To programmatically discover and interact with services in ubiquitous computing environments, an application needs to solve two problems: (1) is it semantically meaningful to inte...
We introduce the hash history mechanism for capturing dependencies among distributed replicas. Hash histories, consisting of a directed graph of version hashes, are independent of...
In complex systems, like robot plants, applications are built on top of a set of components, or devices. Each of them has particular individual constraints, and there are also log...
A new method is developed for representation and encoding in population-based evolutionary algorithms. The method is inspired by the biological genetic code and utilizes a many-to-...
Abstract. Curve detection is viewed as a process of hypothesis generation and hypothesis testing. Of the two, hypothesis generation has received much attention and many sophisticat...
