We study decision-theoretic planning or reinforcement learning in the presence of traps such as steep slopes for outdoor robots or staircases for indoor robots. In this case, achi...
Abstract. Many real-time applications demand delay guarantees from the network. A network architecture designed to support these applications should be robust and scalable. The Int...
In this paper, we propose a mechanism that supports the high quality streaming and adaptation of stored, constant-quality video across best-effort networks. The difficulty in the d...
Lyapunov design methods are used widely in control engineering to design controllers that achieve qualitative objectives, such as stabilizing a system or maintaining a system'...
A set of fundamental principles can act as an enabler in the establishment of a discipline; however, software engineering still lacks a set of universally recognized fundamental p...
