This paper presents a sequential two-stage strategy for the stochastic synthesis of chemical processes in which flexibility and ability to adjust manipulated variables are taken i...
In our terminology, a “deliberation” is a distributed collaborative process, more or less spontaneous, structured, and complex. This process can include both individual and col...
Ideally, software toolkits for collaborative applications should provide generic, reusable components, applicable in a wide range of circumstances, which software developers can as...
Robotic cardiac catheters have the potential to revolutionize heart surgery by extending minimally invasive techniques to complex surgical repairs inside the heart. However, cathet...
Most variational active contour models are designed to find the “desirable” local minima of data-dependent energy functionals with the hope of avoiding undesirable configurat...
