Autonomous navigation in urban environments inevitably leads to having to switch between various, sometimes conflicting control tasks. Sting Racing, a collaboration between Georgia Tech and SAIC, has developed a modular control architecture for this purpose and this paper describes the operation and definition of this architecture through so-called nested hybrid automata. We show how to map the...

In 1958, Corbu advocated a ‘new architecture’ for a ‘new man’. The omnipresence of the architect creating spaces to model a society led to architects building many sins. After that the influence of architecture in the lives of its inhabitants began to be a subject ignored. A lot of contemporary architecture limited itself to the production of design or service to capital of the day. In 19...

Due to its potential for going into details or getting a global view of the system, agent architecture is a good frame to create an urban traffic control system. In fact, the agent architecture has allowed us to design a control system able of coordinating the traffic of a set of cars in certain scenarios, using, as initial core, the car control algorithms. In further steps, a higher level laye...

This paper explores the relationships that are held in urban poor areas between architecture and urban development with the people who live in those areas. This research intends to explore, identify and analyze what kind of architecture and urban space is produced when people themselves, using their own initiative, develop their own environments; the above explained placed in my home country, C...

The rich identity, originality and validity of the “Ancient Iranian Urbanism and Architecture”, always have been stimulating the urban designers and planners to have research about their valuable qualities and historical principles. Unlike the past, today’s Iranian cities have inefficient urban qualities; because they are inspired by the western urban designs, without paying attention to their ...

TANL is a suite of tools for text analytics based on the software architecture paradigm of data driven pipelines. The strategies for upgrading TANL to the use of Universal Dependencies range from a minimalistic approach consisting of introducing pre/post-processing steps into the native pipeline to revising the whole pipeline. We explore the issue in the context of the Italian Treebank, conside...
