The Player/Stage Project: Tools for Multi-Robot and Distributed Sensor Systems

by Brian P. Gerkey, Richard T. Vaughan, Andrew Howard - In Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Advanced Robotics , 2003
"... This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network transparent robot control. Player seeks to constrain controller design as little as possible; it is device independent, non ..."

Mathematical Control Theory: Deterministic Finite Dimensional Systems

by Eduardo D. Sontag - of Texts in Applied Mathematics , 1990
"... The title of this book gives a very good description of its contents and style, although I might have added “Introduction to ” at the beginning. The style is mathematical: precise, clear statements (i.e., theorems) are asserted, then carefully proved. The book covers many of the key topics in contro ..."

The protection of information in computer systems

by Jerome H. Saltzer, Michael D. Schroeder
"... This tutorial paper explores the mechanics of protecting computer-stored information from unauthorized use or modification. It concentrates on those architectural structures--whether hardware or software--that are necessary to support information protection. The paper develops in three main sectio ..."

It examines in depth the principles of modern protection architectures and the relation between capability systems and access control list systems, and ends with a brief analysis of protected subsystems and protected objects. The reader who is dismayed by either the prerequisites or the level

Optimization Flow Control, I: Basic Algorithm and Convergence

by Steven H. Low, David E. Lapsley - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... We propose an optimization approach to flow control where the objective is to maximize the aggregate source utility over their transmission rates. We view network links and sources as processors of a distributed computation system to solve the dual problem using gradient projection algorithm. In thi ..."

Bigtable: A distributed storage system for structured data

by Fay Chang, Jeffrey Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Wilson C. Hsieh, Deborah A. Wallach, Mike Burrows, Tushar Chandra, Andrew Fikes, Robert E. Gruber - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH CONFERENCE ON USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION - VOLUME 7 , 2006
"... Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications ..."

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case

by Abhay K. Parekh, Robert G. Gallager - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."

Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals

by James F. Allen - COMMUNICATION OF ACM , 1983
"... The problem of representing temporal knowledge arises in many areas of computer science. In applications in which such knowledge is imprecise or relative, current representations based on date lines or time instants are inadequate. An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together WiUl a comp ..."

Efficient and Effective Querying by Image Content

by C. Faloutsos, W. Equitz, M. Flickner, W. Niblack, D. Petkovic, R. Barber - Journal of Intelligent Information Systems , 1994
"... In the QBIC (Query By Image Content) project we are studying methods to query large on-line image databases using the images' content as the basis of the queries. Examples of the content we use include color, texture, and shape of image objects and regions. Potential applications include med ..."
