Obscurance and Ambient Occlusion (AO) are popular techniques in both film and games that model how ambient light is shadowed. While it is largely a solved problem for static scen...
Remote sensing of terrain characteristics is an important component for autonomous operation of mobile robots in natural terrain. Often this involves classification of terrain int...
Kahn Process Networks is an appealing model of computation for programming and mapping applications onto multi-processor platforms. Autonomous processes communicate through unboun...
Abstract—The principles and best practices of object oriented design require that modules in a program should match logical decomposition of the knowledge that the program implem...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
