Boosting a Biologically Inspired Local Descriptor for Geometry-free Face and Full Multi-view 3D Object Recognition
(2005-07-07)
Object recognition systems relying on local descriptors are increasingly used because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. Descriptors of this type -- based on ...
How to Construct a Correct and Scalable iBGP Configuration
(2005-08-03)
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the current inter domain routing protocol in the Internet, has two modes of operation: eBGP (External BGP), used to exchange routing information between autonomous systems, and iBGP ...
Byzantine Clients Rendered Harmless
(2005-07-21)
Byzantine quorum systems have been proposed that work properly even when up to f replicas fail arbitrarily.However, these systems are not so successful when confronted with Byzantine faulty clients. This paper presents ...
Etna: a Fault-tolerant Algorithm for Atomic Mutable DHT Data
(2005-06-15)
This paper presents Etna, an algorithm for atomic reads and writes of replicated data stored in a distributed hash table. Etna correctly handles dynamically changing sets of replica hosts, and is optimized for reads, writes, ...
Proving Atomicity: An Assertional Approach
(2005-07-22)
Atomicity (or linearizability) is a commonly used consistency criterion for distributed services and objects. Although atomic object implementations are abundant, proving that algorithms achieve atomicity has turned out ...
Autonomous Virtual Mobile Nodes
(2005-06-15)
This paper presents a new abstraction for virtual infrastructure in mobile ad hoc networks. An AutonomousVirtual Mobile Node (AVMN) is a robust and reliable entity that is designed to cope with theinherent difficulties ...
Implementing Probabilistically Checkable Proofs of Proximity
(2005-08-08)
Abstract: In this paper, we describe a proof-of-concept implementation of the probabilistically checkable proof of proximity (PCPP) system described by Ben-Sasson and Sudan in \\cite{bs05}. In particular, we implement a ...
Control and Estimation for Cooperative Manipulator Tasks
(2006-02-28)
The objective of this project is to achieve reliable transfer of an object from one robotic manipulator to another. This capability is useful for a number of applications, for instance robotic assembly, or robots with ...
Interactive Animation of Dynamic Manipulation
(2006-02-28)
Lifelike animation of manipulation must account for the dynamicinteraction between animated characters, objects, and their environment. Failing to do so would ignore the often significant effects objectshave on the motion ...
Finite Horizon Control Design for Optimal Discrimination between Several Models
(2006-02-28)
Multiple-Model fault detection is a powerful method for detecting changes, such as faults, in dynamic systems. In many cases, the ability of such a detection scheme to distinguish between possible models for the system ...
