In this paper, we propose a layered control architecture called “CBR augmented GP” to evolve robust control programs for humanoid robots. The key idea in our approach is to represent target task with abstract behaviors by Genetic Programming in simplified simulation and get a prototype of the control program then interpret it with Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) in the real world environments. Accor...

This paper presents the software system architecturr with the dynamic reconfigurability for highly autonomous systems. The proposed architecture is based on multi-agent model, which is suitable for autonomous, open and distributed systems. Since an agent is too sophisticated as the minimal component that we handle, we define a unit as a simple component of an agent. We present the advanced capa...

An architecture for opportunistic discovery of gesture elements for analysis of human gestures in a multi-camera sensor network is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is motivated by the diversity of gestures expressed in passive monitoring applications, and is based on the concept of opportunistic fusion of simple features within a single camera and active collaboration between mult...

We propose a cognitively motivated vertically layered two-pass agent architecture for realizing responsiveness, reactivity, and pro-activeness of smart objects, smart environments, virtual characters, and virtual place controllers, that is controllers for lighting and weather conditions. Being cognitively motivated, our approach aims to respect the cognitive demands of a human being, in order t...

The VLSI implementation complexity of a low density parity check (LDPC) decoder is largely influenced by interconnect and the storage requirements. Here, the proposed layout-aware layered decoder architecture utilizes the data–reuse properties of min-sum, layered decoding and structured properties of array LDPC codes. This results in a significant reduction of logic and interconnects requiremen...

ÐVersion management is a key part of software configuration management. A big variety of version models has been realized in both commercial systems and research prototypes. These version models differ with respect to the objects put under version control (files, directories, entities, objects), the organization of versions (version graphs versus multidimensional version spaces), the granularit...

This paper describes a new layered brain architecture for simulated autonomous and semi-autonomous creatures that inhabit graphical worlds. The main feature of the brain is its division into distinct systems, which communicate through common access to an internal mental blackboard. The brain was designed to encourage experimentation with various systems and architectures. It has so far proven f...

In this paper we present an architecture for the synthesis of realistic and emotionally expressive robotic motion. Our work borrows heavily from the computer graphics and classical animation communities which emphasize perceptual realism of motion, rather than mechanical efficiency. Principles of traditional animation, as articulated over the last century, are algorithmically embodied in our wo...

Multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) platform is an innovative trend of System on Chip (SoC) that enhances system performance. Demanding quality of service parameters and performance metrics, especially in mobile applications, are leading to the exploration of even more innovative architectures for SoC. These will have to incorporate highly scalable, reusable, predictable, cost and energy effi...

We address the semantic gap problem in behavioral monitoring by using hierarchical behavior graphs to infer high-level behaviors from myriad low-level events. Our experimental system traces the execution of a process, performing data-flow analysis to identify meaningful actions such as “proxying”, “keystroke logging”, “data leaking”, and “downloading and executing a program” from complex combin...
