Self-organizing neural networks (SONN) driven by softmax weight renormalization are capable of finding high quality solutions of difficult assignment optimization problems. The r...
Abstract. We analyze the convergence properties of our force based genetic algorithm(fga) as a decentralized topology control mechanism distributed among software agents. fga guide...

Abstract—Developing autonomous systems that patrol environments for detecting intruders is a topic of increasing relevance in security applications. An important aspect of these ...
Autonomous systems operating in real-world environments must be able to plan, schedule, and execute missions while robustly adapting to uncertainty and disturbances. Previous work...
