In cooperative peer-to-peer information retrieval systems, each node can be considered an intelligent agent and these agents work collectively to provide an information retrieval ...
We consider how to use external memory, such as disk storage, to improve the scalability of heuristic search in statespace graphs. To limit the number of slow disk I/O operations,...
Abstract— In this paper, we address navigation and coordination methods that allow swarms of robots to converge and spread along complex 2D shapes in environments containing unkn...
We describe a novel approach to parallelizing graph search using structured duplicate detection. Structured duplicate detection was originally developed as an approach to external...
The problem of computing bounds on the region-of-attraction for systems with polynomial vector fields is considered. Invariant subsets of the region-of-attraction are characterize...
