search for planning

the same quality solutions as LRTA*, but with nine times less computation, or use the same amount of computation, but produce four times better quality solutions. These extensions make real-time heuristic search a practical choice for path-planning in computer video-games.

We describe Bro, a stand-alone system for detecting network intruders in real-time by passively monitoring a network link over which the intruder's traffic transits. We give an overview of the system's design, which emphasizes highspeed (FDDI-rate) monitoring, real-time notification

Probabilistic roadmaps (PRM) have been demonstrated to be very promising for planning paths for robots with high degrees of freedom in complex 3D workspaces. In this paper we describe a PRM path-planning method presenting three novel features that are useful in various real-world applications

In the AIPS98 Planning Contest, the hsp planner showed that heuristic search planners can be competitive with state of the art Graphplan and sat planners. Heuristic search planners like hsp transform planning problems into problems of heuristic search by automatically extracting heuristics from

We describe and evaluate the algorithmic techniques that are used in the FF planning system. Like the HSP system, FF relies on forward state space search, using a heuristic that estimates goal distances by ignoring delete lists. Unlike HSP's heuristic, our method does not assume facts

the necessary peak computation power in general-purpose systems. However, for a large class of applications in embedded real-time systems like cellular phones and camcorders, the variable operating frequency interferes with their deadline guarantee mechanisms, and DVS in this context, despite its growing

Pfinder is a real-time system for tracking people and interpreting their behavior. It runs at 10Hz on a standard SGI Indy computer, and has performed reliably on thousands of people in many different physical locations. The system uses a multiclass statistical model of color and shape to obtain a 2

This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an

local modes. The system runs at 200 frames per second on consumer hardware. Our evaluation shows high accuracy on both synthetic and real test sets, and investigates the effect of several training parameters. We achieve state of the art accuracy in our comparison with related work and demonstrate
