Self-Stabilizing Robot Formations over Unreliable Networks

Seth Gilbert

We describe how a set of mobile robots can arrange themselves on any specified curve on the plane in the presence of dynamic changes both in the underlying ad hoc network and in the set of participating robots. Our strategy is for the mobile robots to impl ...

A Novel Approach to Combining Client-Dependent and Confidence Information in Multimodal Biometric

Samy Bengio, Norman Hoon Thian Poh

The issues of fusion with client-dependent and confidence information have been well studied separately in biometric authentication. In this study, we propose to take advantage of both sources of information in a discriminative framework. Initially, each s ...
