We present a method for non-linear data projection that offers non-linear versions of Principal Component Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis. The data is accessed through a probabilistic mixture model only, therefore any mixture model for any type of data can be plugged in. Gaussian mixtures are one example, but mixtures of Bernoulli’s to model discrete data might be used as well. The ...

& Independent agents that interact within open, distributed, and decentralized environments need to collaboratively regulate their activities in order to facilitate the harmonious and successful achievement of possibly conflicting tasks. Coordination is the process of managing these interactions by identifying and possibly resolving the interdependencies occurring between such activities. A suc...

A large and growing amount of software systems rely on non-trivial coordination logic for making use of third party services or components. Therefore, it is of outmost importance to understand and capture rigorously this continuously growing layer of coordination as this will make easier not only the verification of such systems with respect to their original specifications, but also maintenanc...

The attitude coordination control problem for formation flying spacecraft associated with time-varying reference attitude tracking subject to control input saturation is investigated in this paper. According to different cases, three kinds of continuous and bounded coordination controllers are proposed. With the use of hyperbolic tangent functions, a fundamental controller is presented for an i...

We re-examine the Morris and Shin (2002) model, but assume that players hold proper priors. This sharply alters equilibrium behavior, and welfare, particularly when coordination dominates individual payoffs. Whereas under improper priors the social value of public information is smallest, and possibly negative, in these situations, this is never true under proper priors. When coordination matte...

In the field of rehabilitation robotics, few researchers have been focusing on the problem of controlling motor coordination in post-stroke patients. Studies on coordination learning, when the robotic devices act at the joint level on multiple interaction points, as in the case of exoskeletons, are lacking. For this reason, we studied on 10 healthy subjects the possibility of learning a non-nat...

Current software development often relies on non trivial coordination logic for combining autonomous services, eventually running on different platforms. As a rule, however, such a coordination layer is strongly weaved within the application at source code level. Therefore, its precise identification becomes a major methodological (and technical) problem and a challenge to any program understan...

Large, complex projects face significant barriers to coordination and communication due to continuous, rapid changes during a project's lifecycle. Such changes must be tracked, analyzed, and reconciled to ensure high-quality in the end-product, otherwise problems may be get lost or ignored in the overall complexity. We report on “work-inprogress” in the study of coordination problems between tw...

Although much theoretical research has been devoted to coordination over the three last decades, this phenomenon remains a major challenge for linguistic theory and all formalisms of natural language processing. Moreover, the research models used claim to encompass the various forms coordination can take. In French the coordinating conjunction et (and) appears to be the tenth most frequently us...
