Abstract-- We present COLR-Tree, an abstraction layer designed to support efficient spatio-temporal queries on live data gathered from a large collection of sensors. We use COLR-Tr...
Efficient multi-dimensional data search has received much attention in centralized systems. However, its implementation in large-scale distributed systems is not a trivial job and...
Interest on using mobile autonomous agents has been growing, recently, due to their capacity to cooperate for diverse purposes, from rescue to demining and security. However, such ...
During a disaster, emergency response operations can benefit from the establishment of a wireless ad hoc network. We propose the use of autonomous robots that move inside a disas...
Fully autonomous vehicles promise enormous gains in safety, efficiency, and economy. Before such gains can be realized, safety and reliability concerns must be addressed. We have ...
