computer programs is quite limited. Over the past several years a number of knowledge based systems have been developed, and this experience has provided us with a handfull of techniques we can apply in a few domains. What we don't have yet is much of an appreciation of why these techniques work or of the limits of their usefulness In order to take this next step, we need more data. Unfoitunate...

RoboCupRescue Simulation is a large-scale multi-agent simulation of urban disasters where, in order to save lives and minimize damage, rescue teams must effectively cooperate despite sensing and communication limitations. This paper presents the comprehensive search and rescue approach of the ResQ Freiburg team, the winner in the RoboCupRescue Simulation league at RoboCup 2004. Specific contrib...

In this paper, we treat pedestrian evacuation in emergency scenarios of networked smart spaces. Personal safety may be jeopardized due to natural catastrophes (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.) and/or adversarial actions of intentional enemies. During evacuation, the severity of emergency may increase causing partial or complete blockage of some evacuation routes. Thus, it is of the highest ...

Introduction We believe that existing techniques only address parts of the problem of assessing the safety of the software components of safety-critical systems. It is our belief that the main shortcomings of these existing techniques lie in their poor integration with each other and with the rest of the development process. We have identified three main areas where improved integration is nece...

For reconstruction of a nonnegative real valued object based on scanned data in the k-space, it is shown that the l1 norm of the original motionless object is minimum among that of all objects with combined translational and rotational motions and is a sensitive measure of the object motions. These results provide an insight and theoretical fundamental for applying the l1 optimization to the mo...

The memory-type control charts, such as EWMA and CUSUM, are powerful tools for detecting small quality changes in univariate and multivariate processes. Many papers on economic design of these control charts use the formula proposed by Lorenzen and Vance (1986) [Lorenzen, T. J., & Vance, L. C. (1986). The economic design of control charts: A unified approach. Technometrics, 28(1), 3-10, DOI: 10...

This paper deals with the dynamic adaptation problem. By Dynamic, we mean the ability to introduce modifications in an application at run-time. A component-based application is a set of interconnected units. Adapting one or more of its components can enhance such an application. In general, adapting a component means disconnecting it from the application and connecting a new version. The aim of...
