Trajectory simplification is a problem encountered in areas like Robot programming by demonstration, CAD/CAM, computer vision, and in GPS-based applications like traffic analysis. This problem entails reduction of the points in a given trajectory while keeping the relevant points which preserve important information. The benefits include storage reduction, computational expense, while making data...
With the ever expanding use of the internet to disseminate information across the world, gathering useful information from the multitude of web page styles continues to be a difficult problem. The use of computers as a tool to scrape the desired content from a web page has been around for several decades. Many methods exist to extract desired content from web pages, such as Document Object Model (DOM)...
Generalized solutions to complex problems often suffer from being overly complicated. The main contribution of this paper is to describe an architecture that allows for greater problem generalization without the traditional corresponding increase in complexity. The architecture extends traditional fuzzy logic and is called Fuzzy Contexts or Fuzzy Logic Type-C. Fuzzy logic permits partial membership...
The clustering of web search has become a very interesting research area among academic and scientific communities involved in information retrieval. Clustering of web search result systems, also called Web Clustering Engines, seek to increase the coverage of documents presented for the user to review, while reducing the time spent reviewing them. Several algorithms for web document clustering already...
This paper presents a Direct Utility Adaptive Critic (DUAC) algorithm applied to a power plant load management problem. The DUAC algorithm is an enhancement of the original Heuristic Dynamic Programming (HDP) Adaptive Critic Design (ACD) algorithm into a simpler and more robust controller. Typical ACD algorithms model dynamic systems with time-delayed states and action inputs and due to this the Action...
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are distributed self-organizing networks that can change locations and configure themselves on the fly. This paper focuses on an algorithmic approach for the deployment of a MANET within an enclosed area, such as a building in a disaster scenario, which can provide a robust communication infrastructure for search and rescue operations. While a virtual spring mesh (VSM)...
