We present a scalable and distributed control strategy for swarms of satellites to autonomously form an hexagonal lattice in space around a predefined meeting point. The control strategy is modeled as an artificial potential ...

Within the past decades, many fuzzy aggregationtechniques, ordered weighted averaging (OWA) in particular, have proven effective for a wide range of information processing tasks, such as decision making, image analysis, ...

The purpose of this paper is to present short reviews the face detection techniques and to study the effect of Multifractal analysis in detecting facial features. In reviewing the existing techniques, we have compared the ...

We propose a method for matching non-affinely related sparse model and data point-sets of identical cardinality, similar spatial distribution and orientation. To establish a one-to-one match, we introduce a new similarity ...

An approach based on Ant Colony Optimisation for the induction of fuzzy rules is presented. Several Ant Colony Optimisation algorithms are run simultaneously, with each focusing on finding descriptive rules for a specific ...

Spectral changes in inhomogeneous media depending on the spatial coherence of the source can be described by a quasi-optical approach. Assuming a Gaussian-Schell model source the spectral changes are described by using a ...

The modeling and analysis of large networks of autonomous agents is an important topic with applications in many different disciplines. One way of modeling the development of such networks is by means of an evolutionary ...

we describe an approach to sensory-motor learning and coordination that draws from psychology rather than neuroscience. The growth of the motor coordination is controlled through sequential lifting of constraints, which ...

How do beginning students approach problems which require them to read and understand code? We report on a Grounded Theory-based analysis of student transcripts from 12 institutions where students were asked to 'think ...
