Distributed load managers exhibit thrashing where tasks are repeatedly moved between locations due to incomplete global load information. This paper shows that systems of Autonomou...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have great value as platforms for sensors. While traditional AUVs have been large platforms that tend to operate alone or in very small group...

Current NASA plans call for extended year-long, multikilometer treks for the 2003 and 2005 Mars missions. A much greater amount of rover autonomy is required compared to the recen...
We present a method for synthesizing animations of autonomous space, water, and land-based vehicles in games or other interactive simulations. Controlling the motion of such vehic...
In this paper, we present a theoretical protocol for autonomic distribution of services in a P2P environment, as well as the results of its simulated implementation. Our objective...
