Reverse-engineering of Artificially Evolved Controllers for Swarms of Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert

It is generally challenging to design decentralized controllers for swarms of robots because there is often no obvious relation between the individual robot behaviors and the final behavior of the swarm. As a solution, we use artificial evolution to automa ...

Emotion on FPGA: Model Driven Approach

Arash Arami

Implementation of intelligent and bio-inspired algorithms in industrial and real applications is arduous, time consuming and costly; in addition, many aspects of system from high level behavior of algorithm to energy consumption of targeted system must be ...

Multiple Heterogeneous Ant Colonies with Information Exchange

Arash Arami, Bijan Rahimzadeh Rofoee

The method of multiple heterogeneous ant colonies with information exchange (MHACIE) is presented in this paper with emphasis on the speed of finding the optimal solution and the corresponding computational complexity. The proposed method which is inspired ...

Analytical design and optimization of ultrasonic vibrational transducers for spinal surgery

John Murphy

Just about every other technical publication you pick up these days makes sweeping statements concerning the pressures on scientists, engineers, and industries as a whole to get to market in less time, with an improved, less expensive product. I am reminde ...

Action Semantics in Smart Objects

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

We present a method of formal description of the action semantics in smart objects. Smart objects were primarily used for behavioral animation in the past. We demonstrate, how a formally described semantics can be used for action planning purposes by intel ...

Speculative planning with delegation

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

This paper presents a novel method of collaborative problem solving for intelligent agents in virtual environments. We describe a planner for STRIPS-like domains enhanced by techniques of "delegated computing". Instead of having one central planner with co ...

Recommenders' Influence on Buyers' Decision Process

Nicolas Jones

Online stores offer an increasingly large set of products. Interactive decision aids are becoming indispensable tools assisting users as they search for an ideal product to purchase. For an e-commerce website, adopting the correct tools can affect its surv ...

An architecture to guide crowds using a rule-based behavior system

Daniel Thalmann

This paper describes a client/server architecture to combine the control of human agents performing “intelligent actions” (guided by a rule-based behavior system RBBS) with the management of autonomous crowds which perform pre-programmed actions. Our main ...

A Survey of Distributed Enterprise Network and Systems Management Paradigms

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin

Since the mid 1990s, network and systems management has steadily evolved from centralized paradigms, where the management application runs on a single management station, to distributed paradigms, where it is distributed over many nodes. In this survey, ou ...

Annotated Typology of Distributed Network Management Paradigms

Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin

Over the past few years, network management has steadily evolved from a centralized model, where all the management processing takes place on a single network management station, to distributed models, where management is distributed over a number, potenti ...
