In their search for satisfactory solutions to complex combinatorial problems, metaheuristics methods are expected to intelligently explore the solution space. Various forms of memory have been used to achieve this goal and improve the performance of metaheuristics, which warranted the development of the Adaptive Memory Programming (AMP) framework [1]. This paper follows this framework by integr...

Comparing market estimates for wireless personal communication and considering recent proposals for wideband multimedia services with the existing spectrum allocations for these types of systems show that spectrum resource management remains an important topic in the near and distant future. In this article the authors star t out by presenting a quite general formulation of the radio resource m...

Raps, Shirley (University of Illinois, Urbana) and R. D. DeMoss. Glycolytic enzymes in Zymomonas mobilis. J. Bacteriol. 84:115-118. 1962-An enzyme extract of Zymomonas mobilis (Pseudomonas lindneri) was capable of fermenting glucose-6-phosphate to CO(2) and ethanol. The extract was found to contain phosphohexoisomerase, aldolase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, but no demonstrable...

The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a reliability optimization problem in designing series-parallel systems. The reliability optimization process is intended to select multiple components with appropriate levels of redundancy by maximizing the system reliability under some predefined constraints. Several methods have been proposed to solve the RAPs. However, most of these methods often t...

In this paper we describe a stereo vision system that can recognize natural gestures and an intelligent robot control architecture that can interpret these gestures in the context of a task The intelligent control archi tecture consists of three layers The top layer delib erates via a state based hierarchical non linear plan ner The bottom layer consists of a suite of reactive skills that can b...

In a centralized radio access network (RAN), the signals from multiple radio access points (RAPs) are processed centrally in a data center. Centralized RAN enables advanced interference coordination strategies while leveraging the elastic provisioning of data processing resources. It is particularly well suited for dense deployments, such as within a large building where the RAPs are connected ...

This paper gives a brief overview of the Animate Agent Project at the University of Chicago, describing skills, RAPs, and a recently added spatial planning module. The RAP system takes in symbolic goals and refines them into sequences of continuous skills that move the robot in real-time. The RAP system uses the spatial module as an assistant when spatial problems arise during goal refinement. ...
