— We describe algorithms to build self-assembling robot systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. The distributed algorithms are based on locally optimal matchi...
We describe a language providing concepts for modeling autonomous entities (agents) and cooperating entities (groups). Agents are the execution units of a GroupLog program. Each a...
—Robotic middlewares increasingly allow the seamless integration of multiple heterogeneous robots into one distributed system. With the inclusion of ambient intelligence and perv...
Abstract. In this paper, we describe an approach to activity recognition, which is based on a self-organizing, ad hoc network of body-worn sensors. It makes best use of the availab...
Parallel and distributed programming is conceptually harder to undertake and to understand than sequential programming, because a programmer often has to manage the coexistence an...
