— We consider problems where multiple agents must cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchange...
Assume that each object in a database has m grades, or scores, one for each of m attributes. For example, an object can have a color grade, that tells how red it is, and a shape g...
In critical energy infrastructure sectors (e.g. electric power generation, natural gas transportation, oil refining capacity) maintaining certain level of excess capacity is soci...
An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
Kernel-based objective functions optimized using the mean shift algorithm have been demonstrated as an effective means of tracking in video sequences. The resulting algorithms com...
