Resilient Mechanisms For Truly Combinatorial Auctions
(2008-11-13)
Dominant-strategy truthfulness is traditionally considered the best possible solution concept in mechanism design, as it enables one to predict with confidence which strategies INDEPENDENT players will actually choose. ...
Resilient Auctions of One Good in Limited Supply
(2008-12-17)
We present various resilient auction mechanisms for a good in limited supply. Our mechanisms achieve both player-knowledge and aggregated player-knowledge benchmarks.
Mathematics of the Neural Response
(2008-11-26)
We propose a natural image representation, the neural response, motivated by the neuroscience of the visual cortex. The inner product defined by the neural response leads to a similarity measure between functions which we ...
Resilient Provision of a Public Good
(2008-12-02)
We present two resilient mechanisms for the provision of a public good. Both mechanisms adopt a knowledge-based benchmark.
An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Brief Users Guide to the IvP Helm Autonomy Software
(2009-06-18)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
Enhanced Visual Authoring Using Operation History
(2009-06-24)
Graphical editors have introduced great flexibility to the designer's workflow, providing powerful digital tools and enabling the creation of complex and compelling designs. This thesis presents methods for improving these ...
An integrated model of visual attention using shape-based features
(2009-06-20)
Apart from helping shed some light on human perceptual mechanisms, modeling visual attention has important applications in computer vision. It has been shown to be useful in priming object detection, pruning interest points, ...
Interactive Visual Histories for Vector Graphics
(2009-06-24)
Presentation and graphics software enables users to experiment with variations of illustrations. They can revisit recent editing operations using the ubiquitous undo command, but they are limited to sequential exploration. ...
Keeping Mobile Robots Connected
(2009-06-17)
Designing robust algorithms for mobile agents with reliable communication is difficult due to the distributed nature of computation, in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) the matter is exacerbated by the need to ensure ...
Programming Manifolds
(2007)
Many programming domains involve the manipulation of values distributed through a manifold - examples include sensor networks, smart materials, and biofilms. This paper describes a programming semantics for manifolds based ...
