problems plagued development of single robots applications until the "behavior-based" revolution led to new techniques for robot control based on port-arbitrated behaviors (PAB). Though there are now many implementations of systems for behavior-based control of single robots, the potential

INTRODUCTION One of the contributions of the behavior-based approach t o robot control introduced by Rodney Brooks [1] is a set of well-defined abstractions and techniques for behavior interaction. We refer to these abstractions and techniques as the PortArbitrated Behavior paradigm, or PAB. While

The desire for general, principled techniques for situated interaction has led us to study the exploitation of abstract situatedness { situatedness in non-physical environments. The port-arbitrated behavior-based control approach provides a wellstructured abstract

to study the exploitation of abstract situatedness -- situatedness in non-physical environments. The port-arbitrated behavior-based control approach provides a well-structured abstract behavior space in which agents can participate in situated interaction. We focus on the problem of role assumption

Abstract — This paper presents an analysis of output queued cell switches which are introduced with generic non-uniformly distributed traffic. Random arbitration is employed whereby non-empty queues compete equally for service within each switching interval. In particular, we study the case of two

-chip interconnection network through simulation. Our experimental results provide observations on the network behavior: (1) Dedicated channels can be created between any output port to input port of the C64 crossbar with latency as low as 7 cycles. The C64 crossbar has the potential reach the full hardware bandwidth

Abstract—Classifying traffic into specific network applications is essential for application-aware network management and it becomes more challenging because modern applications obscure their network behaviors. While port number-based classifiers work only for some well-known applications

Local area networks allow multiple computers to com-municate within a single building or area. The IEEE 802.3 standard defines Ethernet, the most widely used LAN technology. The IEEE 802.3 working group is re-viewing possible additions to the standard. The Binary Logarithmic Arbitration Method
