The design of the control laws governing the behavior of individual agents is crucial for the successful development of cooperative agent teams. These control laws may utilize a combination of local and/or global knowledge to achieve the resulting group behavior.…

We prove that the scale map of the zero-crossings of almost all signals filtered by the second derivative of a gaussian of variable size determines the signal uniquely, up to a constant scaling and a harmonic function. Our proof provides…

Investigamos la posibilidad de obtener patrones semánticos a gran escala para cualquier lengua usando solamente análisis superficial y generalizaciones semánticas básicas. Siendo este un experimento exploratorio sólo hemos realizado una evaluación cualitativa. Hemos comparado varios patrones semánticos de traducción de…

We describe a system that reasons from first principles, i.e., using knowledge of structure and behavior. The system has been implemented and tested on several examples in the domain of troubleshooting digital electronic circuits. We give an example of the…

(cont.) characterization, and kink criterion implementation, form a synergistic analysis of the mechanistic debonding behavior affected by moisture. Results have shown that moisture affected debonding is a highly complex phenomenon that involves physical changes in the bond as well as…

La mayor parte de paisajes forestales en gran parte del planeta se han visto transformados en un mosaico de fragmentos de diferentes tamaños y grado de aislamiento, inmersos en una matriz de vegetación con diferentes estados de degradación. Esta transformación…

This Ph.D. thesis has covered the scientific issues of defect reactions involving dopants and impurities in Si, and the applications of this knowledge to reactive ion etching (RIE) and Fe gettering processes. The reactions among self-interstitials (Sii), vacancies (V), impurities…

We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging approach that identifies, explains, and resolves…
