Abstract—XML indexing and search has become an important topic, and twig joins are key building blocks in XML search systems. This paper describes a novel approach using a nested...
Algebraic Point Set Surfaces (APSS) define a smooth surface from a set of points using local moving least-squares (MLS) fitting of algebraic spheres. In this paper we first revisi...
Designing distributed controllers for self-reconfiguring modular robots has been consistently challenging. We have developed a reinforcement learning approach which can be used bo...
