Mechanical systems, of the kinds which are of interest for qualitative reasoning, are characterized by a set of real-valued parameters, each of which is a piecewise continuous fun...
Collision detection in geometrically complex scenes is crucial in physical simulations and real time applications. Works based on spatial hierarchical structures have been propose...
Auction mechanism design is a subfield of game theory dedicated to manipulating the rules of an auction so as to achieve specific goals. The complexity of the dynamics of auctions...

Due to the ever increasing system complexity, deciding whether a given platform is sufficient to implement a set of applications under given constraints becomes a serious bottlene...
Assigning tasks to agents is complex, especially in highly dynamic environments. Typical protocol-based approaches for task assignment such as Contract Net have proven their value...
