Dynamic Goal Hierarchies

by John Bell, Zhisheng Huang , 1997
"... . In this paper we introduce and formalise dynamic goal hierarchies. We begin with a formal definition of goals, according to which they are rational desires. In particular, we require that an agent's goals are coherent; that is, that the agent believes that each goal is jointly realisable with ..."

Visual Information Seeking: Tight Coupling of Dynamic Query Filters with Starfield Displays

by Christopher Ahlberg, Ben Shneiderman , 1994
"... This paper offers new principles for visual information seeking (VIS). A key concept is to support browsing, which is distinguished from familiar query composition and information retrieval because of its emphasis on rapid filtering to reduce result sets, progressive refinement of search parameters, ..."

, continuous reformulation of goals, and visual scanning to identify results. VIS principles developed include: dynamic query filters (query parameters are rapidly adjusted with sliders, buttons, maps, etc.), starfield displays (two-dimensional scatterplots to structure result sets and zooming to reduce

Pin: building customized program analysis tools with dynamic instrumentation

by Chi-keung Luk, Robert Cohn, Robert Muth, Harish Patil, Artur Klauser, Geoff Lowney, Steven Wallace, Vijay Janapa Reddi, Kim Hazelwood - IN PLDI ’05: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2005 ACM SIGPLAN CONFERENCE ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION , 2005
"... Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent, and eff ..."

Accessing Nearby Copies of Replicated Objects in a Distributed Environment

by C. Greg Plaxton , Rajmohan Rajaraman, Andrea W. Richa
"... Consider a set of shared objects in a distributed network, where several copies of each object may exist at any given time. To ensure both fast access to the objects as well as efficient utilization of network resources, it is desirable that each access request be satisfied by a copy "clos ..."

The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks

by Matthew O. Jackson, Alison Watts - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC THEORY 106, 265–295 , 2002
"... We examine the dynamic formation and stochastic evolution of networks connecting individuals. The payoff to an individual from an economic or social activity depends on the network of connections among individuals. Over time individuals form and sever links connecting themselves to other individuals ..."

to any given network at some time, where the stochastic process selects from among the statically stable networks and cycles. We apply these results to examples including the Gale–Shapley marriage problem. Thus the paper achieves two goals. First, it outlines a dynamic solution concept for networks

Randomized kinodynamic planning

by Steven M. Lavalle, James J. Kuffner, Jr. - THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBOTICS RESEARCH 2001; 20; 378 , 2001
"... This paper presents the first randomized approach to kinodynamic planning (also known as trajectory planning or trajectory design). The task is to determine control inputs to drive a robot from an initial configuration and velocity to a goal configuration and velocity while obeying physically based ..."

The Coordination of Arm Movements: An Experimentally Confirmed Mathematical Model

by Tamar Flash, Neville Hogans - Journal of neuroscience , 1985
"... This paper presents studies of the coordination of volun-tary human arm movements. A mathematical model is for-mulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative fea-tures and the quantitative details observed experimentally in planar, multijoint arm movements. Coordination is modeled mathematic ..."

mathematically by defining an objective function, a measure of performance for any possi-ble movement. The unique trajectory which yields the best performance is determined using dynamic optimization the-ory. In the work presented here, the objective function is the square of the magnitude of jerk (rate

Color indexing

by Michael J. Swain, Dana H. Ballard - International Journal of Computer Vision , 1991
"... Computer vision is embracing a new research focus in which the aim is to develop visual skills for robots that allow them to interact with a dynamic, realistic environment. To achieve this aim, new kinds of vision algorithms need to be developed which run in real time and subserve the robot's g ..."

Fine-grained Mobility in the Emerald System

by Eric Jul, Henry Levy, Norman Hutchinson, Andrew Black - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... Emerald is an object-based language and system designed for the construction of distributed programs. An explicit goal of Emerald is support for object mobility; objects in Emerald can freely move within the system to take advantage of distribution and dynamically changing environments. We say that ..."
