Vulnerability assessment is the essential and well-established process of probing security
flaws, weaknesses and inadequacies in a computing infrastructure. The process helps …

The performance of heuristic search-based planners depends heavily on the quality of the
heuristic function used to focus the search. These algorithms work fast and generate high …

RACOD is an algorithm/hardware co-design for mobile robot path planning. It consists of two
main components: CODAcc, a hardware accelerator for collision detection; and RASExp, an …

Game designers adjust game parameters to create an optimal experience for players. We
call this high-dimensional set of unique game variants game space. To help designers …

Suboptimal search algorithms offer shorter solving times by sacrificing guaranteed solution
optimality. While optimal searchalgorithms like A* and IDA* require admissible heuristics …

have brought platform virtualization technology into the field of high performance computing …

Vulnerability assessment and security configuration activities are heavily reliant on expert
knowledge. This requirement often results in many systems being left insecure due to a lack …

Motion planning in high dimensional state spaces, such as for mobile manipulation, is a
challenging problem. Constrained manipulation, eg, opening articulated objects like doors …

Achieving good performance with a parallel genetic algorithm requires properly configuring
control parameters such as mutation rate, crossover rate, and population size. We consider …

In many cases several entities, such as commercial companies, need to work together
towards the achievement of joint goals, while hiding certain private information. To …
