The design of Digital Library Systems (DLSes) has evolved overtime, both in sophistication and complexity, to complement the complex nature and sheer size of digital content being curated. However, there is also a growing ...

We demonstrate a freespace optical system using a consumer camera and projector in indoor environments using available devices for visual computing. Through design, prototype and experimentation with this commodity hardware, ...

A simple analog circuit designer has been implemented as a rule based system. The system can design voltage followers. Miller integrators, and bootstrap ramp generators from functional descriptions of what these ...

This paper presents a simple and efficient algorithm, using configuration space, to plan collision-free motions for general manipulators. We describe an implementation of the algorithm for manipulators made up of ...

This paper presents a stock flow model of two economies (together comprising the whole world) which trade goods and financial assets with one another. The accounting framework, though comprehensive in its own terms, is ...

The Video Game industry is maturing. Success in the video game industry relies on many things, including marketing, sound business practises, and top notch technical implementation. Games Engines are software systems that ...

A method is presented for stably grasping 2 dimensional polygonal objects with a dextrous hand when object models are not avaiable. Basic constraints on object vertex angles are found for feasible grasping with two fingers. ...

A method is proposed for deriving dynamical equations for systems with both rigid and flexible components. During the derivation, each flexible component of the system is represented by a "surrogate element" which ...

When facilitating decisions in which some performance evaluations are uncertain, a decision must be taken about how this uncertainty is to be modelled. This involves, in part, choosing an uncertainty format {a way of ...

The Voronoi diagram has proved to be a useful tool in a variety of contexts in computational geometry. Our interest here is in using the diagram to simplify the planning of collision-free paths for a robot among ...

Many systems have been developed for constructing decision trees from collections of examples. Although the decision trees generated by these methods are accurate and efficient, they often suffer the disadvantage of ...

This paper presents an algorithm for simplifying NDL deductions. An array of simplifying transformations are rigorously defined. They are shown to be terminating, and to respect the formal semantis of the language. We also ...

A semantic network is a collection of nodes and the links between them. The nodes represent concepts, functions and entities, and the links represent relationships between varoius nodes. Any semantic network must be supplied ...

A continuum-discrete model for failure in quasi-brittle materials is presented. The continuum is regularised through the introduction of gradient terms into the constitutive model. At the transition to discrete failure, ...

The authors use simulation to analyse the resource-driven dependencies between concurrent processes used to create customised products in a company. Such processes are uncertain and unique according to the design changes ...

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) provides an inexpensive, fault-tolerant storage solution using commodity hard-drives. RAID storage systems have recently surged in popularity amongst enterprise clients, as they ...

DEVS models are implemented in various programming languages using various strategies. There is a scientific need to couple these models for larger simulations. Therefore there is a need for interoperability between these ...

This study has shown that modelling and simulation is a feasible approach for evaluating NPR solutions in the developing context. The model can represent different network models, patient types and performance metrics to ...
