— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
Abstract. Many sensor network applications demand tightly-bounded object detection quality. To meet such stringent requirements, we develop three sensing scheduling protocols to gu...
This paper is devoted to piecewise-constant segmentation of images using a curve evolution approach in a variational formulation. The problem to be solved is also called the minima...
This paper introduces the concept of the “vendible line” partitioning jobs in a company into those that are likely to be lost to outsourcing (onshore or offshore) and those th...
This paper describes the design considerations of and preliminary conclusions drawn from an ongoing project dealing with the design of a software architecture for a family of so-c...
