Cable plants were initially designed for one-way broadcast communication (from the head-end to the neighborhood). They are now being upgraded to provide an upstream path (from the home to the head-end). New challenges ...

This report documents a framework called PARINO that we have developed for solving large mixed integer programs (MIPs)in parallel. PARINO combines portability and efficiency with flexibility. It is written in C++, and is ...

This paper explores the application of genetic algorithms to the learning of local robot navigation behaviors for reactive control systems. Our approach evolves reactive control systems in various environments, thus creating ...

Georgia Tech won the Office Cleanup Event at the 1994 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition with a multi-robot cooperating team. This paper describes the design and implementation of these reactive trash-collecting robots, including ...

Multiprotocol systems can be an important tool for achieving interoperability. As the number of protocols available on such systems grows, there is an increasing need for support mechanisms that enable users to effectively ...

In [LBA93], a suite of randomized broadcast protocols was presented for the problem of broadcasting a message in arbitrary multi-hop radio networks. These protocols improved upon that of Bar-Yehuda et al. in most of the ...

Formal models of animal sensorimotor behavior can provide effective methods for generating robotic intelligence. In this article we describe how schema-theoretic models of the praying mantis derived from behavioral and ...

As autonomous robots become more complex in their behavior, more sophisticated software architectures are required to support the ever more sophisticated robotics software. These software architectures must support complex ...
