4 Co-existence: Physical Interaction and Coordinated Motion
Co-existence an co-operation between a human and a machine which can move and act in an autonomous mode involves a form of interaction which goes... -
Adaptive and Distributed Coordination Algorithms for Mobile Sensing Networks
Consider n sites evolving within a convex polygon according to one of the following interaction laws: (i) each site moves away from the closest other... -
Rough Set Strategies to Data with Missing Attribute Values
In this paper we assume that a data set is presented in the form of the incompletely specified decision table, i.e., some attribute values are... -
SVM-OD: SVM Method to Detect Outliers1
Outlier detection is an important task in data mining because outliers can be either useful knowledge or noise. Many statistical methods have been... -
7. Dynamic Control of UVMSs
In Chap. 2 the equations of motion of Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator Systems (UVMSs) have been presented. Their expression in matrix form (2.71), is... -
Impact of Purity Measures on Knowledge Extraction in Decision Trees
Symbolic knowledge representation is crucial for successful knowledge extraction and consequently for successful data mining. Therefore decision... -
