Ramp secret sharing (SS) schemes can be classified into strong ramp SS schemes and weak ramp SS schemes. The strong ramp SS schemes do not leak out any part of a secret explicitly...
This paper discusses a new solution to university course timetabling problems. The problems that belong to the NP-hard class are very difficult to solve using conventional optimiza...
We consider the average cost problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) with finite state, observation, and control spaces. We prove that there exists an -...
Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
For reaching to and grasping of an object, visual information about the object must be transformed into motor or postural commands for the arm and hand. In this paper, we present a...
