modification to the update rules in that we normalized both ..\ and 1r messages at each iteration. As Pearl Nodes were updated in parallel: at each iteration all nodes calculated their outgoing messages based on the incoming messages of their neighbors from the pre vious iteration. The messages were said

Electric cable shovels are the most extensively used high-volume excavators in open pit mining. Pre-vious work to improve the production capability of these units focused on updating mechanical and elec-

Since March 2013 I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Uni-versity of Basel under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Malte Helmert. In the following paragraphs I will outline my pre-vious work in the field of automatic planning and the topics I would like to work on during my thesis.

The decentralized navigation function methodology, established in pre-vious work for navigation of multiple holonomic agents with global sensing capabilities is extended to the case of local sensing capabilities. Each agent plans its actions without knowing the destinations of the others

Abstract—This report extends the analysis carried out in a pre-vious work [1] about the topology of guifi.net wireless community network. The main objective is validating the topology generator proposed in [1] for guifi.net like topologies by considering a larger number of zones. The numerical

In this study, conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution to a non-linear second-order multipoint eigenvalue problem on time scales are discussed. Here the nonlinearity is allowed to take on negative values. The results extend pre-vious work on the continuous case, and are based

This paper is concerned with a joint Bayesian formulation for de-termining the endmembers and abundances of hyperspectral images along with sparse outliers which can lead to estimation errors unless accounted for. We present an inference method that generalizes pre-vious work and provides a MCMC

This technical report contains a sensitivity analysis to extend our pre-vious work. We show that our flexible service provisioning strategy is robust to inaccurate performance information (when the available infor-mation is within 10 % of the true value), and that it degrades gracefully

In this work we modify the couple d curve evolution approach to snakes presente dby the authors in pre-vious work for bimodal and trimodal imagery through the intr oduction of glob al constr aints. The key idea, as b efor e, is to derive curve evolution equations which \pull apart " the values

Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed processes in digital systems. In pre-vious work, systematic ACM synthesis methods have been proposed. In this paper, we advance this work by develop-ing algorithms
