Multi-agent systems (MASs), comprised of autonomous entities with the aim to cooperate to reach a common goal, may be viewed as computational models of distributed complex systems ...
Independence--the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning--is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in...
In this paper, we explore the possibility of transforming queries with minimum and maximum predicates into equivalent queries that can be computed more efficiently. The main contr...
We show that the wavefront approach to Voronoi diagrams (a deterministic line sweep algorithm that does not use geometric transform) can be generalized to distance measures more g...
For generalized cylinders (GC) defined by contours of discrete curves, we propose two algorithms to generate GC surfaces (1) in polygonal meshes and (2) in cylindrical type of dev...
