Additive Combinatorics and Discrete Logarithm Based Range Protocols

We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval

I = [0, H]

as a sumset

I = \sum_{i=1}^\ell G_i * [0, u - 1] + [0, H']

of smaller integer intervals for some small values

\ell

,

u

, and

H' < u - 1

, where

b * A = \{b a : a \in A\}

and $A + B = ...

Optimizing subclass discriminant error correcting output codes using particle swarm optimization

Nikolaos Arvanitopoulos Darginis

Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) reveal a common way to model multi-class classification problems. According to this state of the art technique, a multi-class problem is decomposed into several binary ones. Additionally, on the ECOC framework we can ap ...

Contributions to the modeling and design of reconfigurable reflecting cells embedding discrete control elements

Juan Ramon Mosig, Frédéric Bongard, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Roberto Torres Sánchez, Ruzica Golubovic

This paper presents new contributions to the modeling and design of reflecting cells embedding discrete control elements such as microelectromechanical system (MEMS) or diodes. First, a rigorous assessment of the different possibilities to simulate and mea ...

Particle Swarm Optimization of Memory usage in Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Risco Martin

In this paper, we propose a dynamic, non-dominated sorting, multi-objective particle-swarm-based optimizer, named Hierarchical Non-dominated Sorting Particle Swarm Optimizer (H-NSPSO), for memory usage optimization in embedded systems. It significantly red ...

Distributed Adaptation in Multi-Robot Search using Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

We present an adaptive strategy for a group of robots engaged in the localization of multiple targets. The robotic search algorithm is inspired by chemotaxis behavior in bacteria, and the algorithmic parameters are updated using a distributed implementatio ...

Ant-based Swarming with Positionless Micro Air Vehicles for Communication Relay

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler

Swarming without positioning information is interesting in application- oriented systems because it alleviates the need for sensors which are dependent on the environment, expensive in terms of energy, cost, size and weight, or unusable at useful ranges fo ...

Inspiring and Modeling Multi-Robot Search with Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Within the field of multi-robot systems, multi-robot search is one area which is currently receiving a lot of research attention. One major challenge within this area is to design effective algorithms that allow a team of robots to work together to find th ...

Tracking Atoms with Particles for Audio-visual Source Localization

Pierre Vandergheynst, Andrea Cavallaro, Gianluca Monaci, Emilio Maggio

We present a general framework and an efficient algorithm for tracking relevant video structures. The structures to be tracked are implicitly defined by a Matching Pursuit procedure that extracts and ranks the most important image contours. Based on the ra ...

Moving targets: Collective decisions and flexible choices in house-hunting ants

Roderich Gross

Many decisions involve a trade-off between commitment and flexibility. We show here that the collective decisions ants make over new nest sites are sometimes sufficiently flexible that the ants can change targets even after an emigration has begun. Our fin ...

Applying Aspects of Multi-Robot Search to Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh, Loïc Segapelli

We present a modified version of the Particle swarm Optimization algorithm in which we adjust the virtual swarm search by incorporating inter-agent dynamics native to multi-robot search scenarios. The neighborhood structure of PSO is modified to accurately ...
