FastSLAM: A Factored Solution to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Problem

by Michael Montemerlo, Sebastian Thrun, Daphne Koller, Ben Wegbreit - In Proceedings of the AAAI National Conference on Artificial Intelligence , 2002
"... The ability to simultaneously localize a robot and accurately map its surroundings is considered by many to be a key prerequisite of truly autonomous robots. However, few approaches to this problem scale up to handle the very large number of landmarks present in real environments. Kalman filter-base ..."

Combining Branch Predictors

by Scott Mcfarling , 1993
"... One of the key factors determining computer performance is the degree to which the implementation can take advantage of instruction-level paral-lelism. Perhaps the most critical limit to this parallelism is the presence of conditional branches that determine which instructions need to be executed ne ..."

Anomaly Detection: A Survey

by Varun Chandola, Arindam Banerjee, Vipin Kumar , 2007
"... Anomaly detection is an important problem that has been researched within diverse research areas and application domains. Many anomaly detection techniques have been specifically developed for certain application domains, while others are more generic. This survey tries to provide a structured and c ..."

and comprehensive overview of the research on anomaly detection. We have grouped existing techniques into different categories based on the underlying approach adopted by each technique. For each category we have identified key assumptions, which are used by the techniques to differentiate between normal

Securing ad hoc networks

by Lidong Zhou, Zygmunt J. Haas
"... Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. Instead, hosts rely on each other to keep the network connected. The military tactical and other security-sensitive operation ..."

network faces and the security goals to be achieved. We identify the new challenges and opportunities posed by this new networking environment and explore new approaches to secure its communication. In particular, we take advantage of the inherent redundancy in ad hoc networks — multiple routes between

The Foundation of a Generic Theorem Prover

by Lawrence C. Paulson - Journal of Automated Reasoning , 1989
"... Isabelle [28, 30] is an interactive theorem prover that supports a variety of logics. It represents rules as propositions (not as functions) and builds proofs by combining rules. These operations constitute a meta-logic (or `logical framework') in which the object-logics are formalized. Isabell ..."

. Higher-order logic has several practical advantages over other meta-logics. Many proof techniques are known, such as Huet's higher-order unification procedure. Key words: higher-order logic, higher-order unification, Isabelle, LCF, logical frameworks, meta-reasoning, natural deduction Contents 1

Key Advantages of High Performance Lubricants for the Manufacturing of Powder Metallurgy Parts

by Vincent Paris , Sylvain St-Laurent , Yannig Thomas
"... Abstract In powder metallurgy, the usage of an admixed lubricant to aid the compaction and to ease the ejection of the green parts is most of the time unavoidable. Over the past years, many lubricant formulations which were either developed by metal powder producers or independent lubricant manufac ..."

advantages over the traditional lubricants. This paper offers a review of the major advantages of high performance lubricants over traditional formulations. The lubricants were evaluated in FC-0208 and FD-0208 steel powder compositions. Apparent density, flow rate, compressibility, ejection behaviour

On the Importance of Checking Cryptographic Protocols for Faults

by Dan Boneh, Richard A. Demillo, Richard J. Lipton , 1997
"... We present a theoretical model for breaking various cryptographic schemes by taking advantage of random hardware faults. We show how to attack certain implementations of RSA and Rabin signatures. An implementation of RSA based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem can be broken using a single erroneous s ..."

A First Step towards Automated Detection of Buffer Overrun Vulnerabilities

by David Wagner, Jeffrey S. Foster, Eric A. Brewer, Alexander Aiken - IN NETWORK AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM SECURITY SYMPOSIUM , 2000
"... We describe a new technique for finding potential buffer overrun vulnerabilities in security-critical C code. The key to success is to use static analysis: we formulate detection of buffer overruns as an integer range analysis problem. One major advantage of static analysis is that security bugs can ..."

Conditional value-at-risk for general loss distributions

by R. Tyrrell Rockafellar, Stanislav Uryasev - Journal of Banking and Finance , 2002
"... Abstract. Fundamental properties of conditional value-at-risk, as a measure of risk with significant advantages over value-at-risk, are derived for loss distributions in finance that can involve discreetness. Such distributions are of particular importance in applications because of the prevalence o ..."

One-shot learning of object categories

by Li Fei-fei, Rob Fergus, Pietro Perona - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2006

We show that it is possible to learn much information about a category from just one, or a handful, of images. The key insight is that, rather than learning from scratch, one can take advant ..."
