Proactive Algorithms for Job Shop Scheduling with Probabilistic Durations
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be ...

Multi-figure Anatomical Objects for Shape Statistics
Abstract. Multi-figure m-reps allow us to represent and analyze a complex anatomical object by its parts, by relations among its parts, and by the object itself as a whole entity. ...

Lazy localization using the Frozen-Time Smoother
— We present a new algorithm for solving the global localization problem called Frozen-Time Smoother (FTS). Time is ‘frozen’, in the sense that the belief always refers to th...
