We consider Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSP) when control of variables and constraints is distributed among a set of agents. This paper presents a distributed ...
Most physically implemented multi-robot controllers are based on extensions of behavior-based systems. While efficient, such techniques suffer from weak representational power. Sy...
Abstract-- This paper addresses the problem of optical signalto-noise ratio (OSNR) optimization in optical networks. An analytical OSNR network model is developed for a general mul...
We give semantic characterizations of the expressive power of navigational XPath (also called Core XPath) in terms of first order logic. XPath can be used to specify sets of nodes...
As the size of scientific and commercial datasets grows, it becomes imperative that an expressive metadata framework to be developed to facilitate access to the semantics of the d...
