We develop a novel autonomous control synthesis strategy called Phase Space Navigator for the automatic synthesis of nonlinear control systems. The Phase Space Navigator generates global control laws by synthesizing flow shapes of dynamical systems and planning and navigating system…

Well-known methods for solving the shape-from-shading problem require knowledge of the reflectance map. Here we show how the shape-from-shading problem can be solved when the reflectance map is not available, but is known to have a given form with some…

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.) In this blurred area, a project/group-based curriculum can be developed to involve casual work areas that can fluctuate in size, based on the specifications of the project. Through the cultivation of this type of environment, the social energies of…

There exists a large amount of knowledge representation models. But most of them have significant limitations at the epistemic level. They do not have explanatory power. Most of them do not have means to represent some functional needs to work…

Strategic management as an academic field of study has spanned over four decades. As an interdisciplinary subject that enjoys concurrent contributions by allied disciplines such as economics and social science, numerous industries have benefited from applying tools and concepts developed…

El hombre desde que nace empieza a aprender. Algunos conocimientos se adquieren sin percatarnos de ellos, otros necesitan esfuerzos y dedicación, algunos son estrictamente necesarios, otros no lo son tanto. El proceso de búsqueda de relaciones es un modo de…
