ACLP: Abductive Constraint Logic Programming
(2000)This paper presents the framework of Abductive Constraint Logic Programming (ACLP), which integrates Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) and Constraint Logic Programming (CLP). In ACLP, the task of abduction is supported and ...

Control of tele-operation systems subject to capacity limited channels and uncertainty
(2007)This paper is concerned with asymptotic observability and stabilizability of dynamical systems over communication channels subject to limited transmission capacity constraint and uncertainty. In particular, the following ...

Cross-section-constrained top-quark mass measurement from dilepton events at the tevatron
(2008)We report the first top-quark mass measurement that uses a cross-section constraint to improve the mass determination. This measurement is made with a dilepton tt̄ event candidate sample collected with the Collider Detector ...

Editorial message: Special track on ubiquitous computing
(2005)Ubiquitous computing places humans in the center of environments saturated with computing and wireless communications capabilities, yet gracefully integrated, so that technology recedes in the background of everyday ...

Fast backward predictive congestion notification for ATM networks with significant propagation delays
(1995)A fast Backward Predictive Congestion Notification (BPCN) scheme for ATM networks is proposed, whose objective is to avoid cell loss and achieve high resource utilisation during high traffic demand. A dynamic adaptive model ...

Fault detection and identification in Petri net controllers
(2004)This paper proposes a methodology for providing fault tolerance to Petri net controllers. In order to provide tolerance against faults that may compromise the functionality of the Petri net controller, we construct a ...

Article
Finite-state machine embeddings for nonconcurrent error detection and identification
(2005)In digital sequential systems that operate over several time steps, a state-transition fault at any time step during the operation of the system can corrupt its state and render its future functionality useless. Such ...

Highly parallel model for object-oriented concurrent constraint programming
(IEEE, 1995)Two of the currently most promising programming paradigms, namely Object-Oriented Programming and Concurrent Constraint Programming are combined into a single, highly parallel computational model based on Term Graph Rewriting ...

Implementing the MPEG-21 adaptation quality of service in dynamic environments
(2006)MPEG-21 embeds the AQoS schema tool which describes and associates conceptually major utilities required during the adaptation process, for example, adaptation operators, constraints and qualities. Defining an AQoS model, ...

Key issues for the design and development of mobile commerce services and applications
(2005)This paper suggests a new approach for developing m-commerce services and applications based on a scheme that divides m-applications into directory- and transaction-oriented classes, identifies mobile user requirements, ...

Marine propeller design using artificial neural networks
(IEEE, 1999)The proper selection of marine propellers is in general an involved and time-consuming design task. It is mostly based on searching large mounts of experimental data in order to find a proper matching of performance ...

A mathematical framework for robust control over uncertain communication channels
(2005)In this paper, a mathematical framework for studying robust control over uncertain communication channels is introduced. The theory is developed by 1) Generalizing the classical information theoretic measures to the robust ...

Article
Modular-ε: An elaboration tolerant approach to the ramification and qualification problems
(2005)We describe Modular-ε (Mε), a specialized, modeltheoretic logic for narrative reasoning about actions, able to represent non-deterministic domains involving concurrency, static laws (constraints) and indirect effects ...

A multimedia programming model based on timed concurrent constraint programming
(1998)We propose the development of multimedia programming frameworks based on the declarative logic programming setting and in particular the framework of object-oriented timed concurrent constraint programming (OO-TCCP). The ...

Multiobjective H2/H∞ by banach space operator theory
(2001)In this paper Banach space duality theory and operator theory are combined to show that the optimal performance index in the multiobjective H2/H∞ is equal to the operator induced norm of a particular operator. This operator ...

On computing logic programs
(1996)In this paper we present and compare some classical problem-solving methods for computing the stable models of logic programs with negation. Using a graph theoretic representation of logic programs and their stable models, ...

Optimal preprocessing strategies for perfect reconstruction of binary signals under power-constrained transmission
(2004)In this paper we further explore our deterministic worst-case framework for perfect reconstruction of discrete data transmissions through dispersive communication channels. Specifically, we are concerned with perfect ...

Optimization of nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled systems: Entropy rate functional and robustness
(2004)This paper is concerned with nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled difussions, in which the pay-off is described by the relative entropy between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, when the uncertain ...
