— Pervasive and ubiquitous computing is enabling the implementation of “smart environments”, i.e., environments where applications support and enhance the abilities of their ...
Abstract. This paper presents a new multi-agent physics-based simulation framework (DISCOVERY), supporting experiments with self-organizing underwater sensor and actuator networks....
Goal-directed path planning is one of the basic and widely studied problems in the field of mobile robotics. Homotopy classes of trajectories, arising due to the presence of obsta...
For any embodied, mobile, autonomous agent it is essential to control its actuators appropriately for the faced task. This holds for natural organisms as well as for robots. If sev...
Management of large-scale parallel and distributed applications is an extremely complex task due to factors such as centralized management architectures, lack of coordination and ...
