Although queueing models have long been used to model the performance of computer systems, they are out of favor with practitioners, because they have a reputation for requiring u...
Diversity has been heavily motivated in the information retrieval literature as an objective criterion for result sets in search and recommender systems. Perhaps one of the most w...
We present a novel and intuitive framework for building modular vision systems for complex tasks such as surveillance applications. Inspired by graphical models, especially factor...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach a...
This paper presents a flight rnanageiiient system (FhIS) iinpleniented as on-board intelligence for rotorcraft-based unmanned aerial vehicles (RUAVs), in order to gradually ilen a...
