— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...
In this paper, we describe the partially observable Markov decision process pomdp approach to nding optimal or near-optimal control strategies for partially observable stochastic ...
