Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRM) are a commonly used class of algorithms for robot navigation tasks where obstacles are present in the environment. We examine the situation where the ...
Algebraic Point Set Surfaces (APSS) define a smooth surface from a set of points using local moving least-squares (MLS) fitting of algebraic spheres. In this paper we first revisi...
This paper describes a continuous estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) to solve decomposable, real-valued optimization problems quickly, accurately, and reliably. This is the...

Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
Fundamental to case-based reasoning is the idea that similar problems have similar solutions. The meaning of the concept of "similarity" can vary in different situations...
