—In this paper, we present a method to analyze different implementations of stream-based applications on heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. We take both resource usage and per...
This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent behavior. An Icarus program e...
The development of cognitively plausible models of human spatial reasoning may ultimately result in computational systems that are better equipped to meet human needs. This paper e...
The goal of this paper is to describe an efficient procedure for color-based image retrieval. The proposed procedure consists of two stages. First, the image data set is hierarchi...
In this paper, we explore some of the new opportunities for distributed collaborative applications that emerge from the use of XML as a data specification language. We present two...
