The proliferation of computing technology to low power domains such as hand–held devices has lead to increased interest in portable interface technologies, with particular inter...
Shaping can be an effective method for improving the learning rate in reinforcement systems. Previously, shaping has been heuristically motivated and implemented. We provide a for...
The dynamic and lossy nature of wireless communication poses major challenges to reliable, self-organizing multihop networks. These non-ideal characteristics are more problematic ...
