Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
A junction based approach for Segmenting and recognizing offline handwritten connected twodigit strings is presented in this paper. Very often even in a printed text, adjacent cha...
Designing and analyzing self-organizing systems such as robotic swarms is a challenging task even though we have complete knowledge about the robot's interior. It is difficul...
