1 Introduction
The problem of position control of robot manipulators was addressed in the 1970’s to develop control schemes capable of controlling a manipulator’s... -
Synchronization in Complex Networks
The study of complex systems pervades all of science, from cell biology to ecology, from computer science to meteorology. A paradigm of a complex... -
Data Traffic, Topology and Congestion
We consider the interaction between the topology of a network and the tra.c carried along its channels. The binding elements between the topology and... -
Kernel Discriminant Learning with Application to Face Recognition
When applied to high-dimensional pattern classification tasks such as face recognition, traditional kernel discriminant analysis methods often suffer... -
Multiple Model Estimation for Nonlinear Classification
This chapter describes a new method for nonlinear classification using a collection of several simple (linear) classifiers. The approach is based on... -
Active Support Vector Learning with Statistical Queries
The article describes an active learning strategy to solve the large quadratic programming (QP) problem of support vector machine (SVM) design in... -
Pareto Optimal Coordination on Roadmaps
Given a collection of robots sharing a common environment, assume that each possesses an individual roadmap for its C-space and a cost function for... -
Coordinating Multiple Droplets in Planar Array Digital Microfluidics System
This paper presents an approach to coordinate the motions of droplets in digital microfluidic systems used for biochemical analysis. A digital... -
Semi-Differential Invariants for Recognition of Albebraic Curves
This paper studies the recognition of low-degree polynomial curves based on minimal tactile data. Differential and semi-differential invariants have... -
Computing Deform Closure Grasps
In prior work, we extended the well-known form closure grasp framework for rigid parts to a class of deformable parts, modeled as frictionless... -
Intelligent Neurofuzzy Control of a Robotic Gripper
One of the major challenges of robotics is the gras** and manipulating of objects in an unstructured environment, in particular where the physical... -
Soft Computing Paradigms for Web Access Pattern Analysis
Web servers play a crucial role to convey knowledge and information to the end users. With the popularity of the WWW, discovering the hidden... -
Ontology-based Fuzzy Decision Agent and Its Application to Meeting Scheduling Support System
A Fuzzy Decision Agent (FDA) based on personal ontology for Meeting Scheduling Support System (MSSS) is proposed in this chapter. In this system,... -
D-GridMST: Clustering Large Distributed Spatial Databases
In this paper, we will propose a novel distributable clustering algorithm, called Distributed-GridMST (D–GridMST for short), which deals with large... -
Data Mining of Missing Persons Data
This paper presents the results of analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of data mining techniques to predict the outcome for missing persons cases.... -
Current Status of Computerized Decision Support Systems in Mammography
Breast cancer is one of the most devastating and deadly diseases for women today. Despite advances in cancer treatment, early mammographic detection... -
