Computational design of menu systems has been solved in limited cases such as the linear menu (list) as an assignment task, where commands are assigned to menu positions while optimizing for for users selection performance and distance of…
We consider the Minimum Coverage Kernel problem: given a set $B$ of $d$-dimensional boxes, find a subset of $B$ of minimum size covering the same region as $B$. This problem is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard, but as for many $\mathsf{NP}$-hard problems…
In grid networks, distributed resources are interconnected by wide area network to support compute and data-intensive applications, which require reliable and efficient transfer of gigabits (even terabits) of data. Different from…
This paper addresses the task of time separated aerial image registration. The ability to solve this problem accurately and reliably is important for a variety of subsequent image understanding applications. The principal challenge lies in…
An open secret in contemporary machine learning is that many models work beautifully on standard benchmarks but fail to generalize outside the lab. This has been attributed to biased training data, which provide poor coverage over real…
Rough set theory is one of the most widely used and significant approaches for handling incomplete information. It divides the universe in the beginning and uses equivalency relations to produce blocks. Numerous generalized rough set models…
We investigate the utility of employing multiple buffers in solving a class of rearrangement problems with pick-n-swap manipulation primitives. In this problem, objects stored randomly in a lattice are to be sorted using a robot arm with…
Buffer zones are essential in production systems to decouple sequential processes. In dense floor storage environments, such as space-constrained brownfield facilities, manual operation is increasingly challenged by severe labor shortages…
Most distributed storage systems provide limited abilities for querying data by attributes other than their primary keys. Supporting efficient search on secondary attributes is challenging as applications pose varying requirements to query…
Conventional machine learning algorithms have traditionally been designed under the assumption that input data follows a vector-based format, with an emphasis on vector-centric paradigms. However, as the demand for tasks involving set-based…
We consider the problem of allocating multiple heterogeneous resources geographically and over time to meet demands that require some subset of the available resource types simultaneously at a specified time, location, and duration. The…
The raster model is commonly used for the representation of images in many domains, and is especially useful in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to store information about continuous variables of the space (elevation, temperature,…
Wireless sensor networks are often deployed in public or otherwise untrusted and even hostile environments, which prompts a number of security issues. Although security is a necessity in other types of networks, it is much more so in sensor…
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI (GenAI) has emerged as a transformative tool, enabling customized and personalized AI-generated content (AIGC) services. However, GenAI models with billions of…
The present work proposes a solution to the challenging problem of registering two partial point sets of the same object with very limited overlap. We leverage the fact that most objects found in man-made environments contain a plane of…
It has been recently advocated that in large communication systems it is beneficial both for the users and for the network as a whole to store content closer to users. One particular implementation of such an approach is to co-locate caches…
Network design problems have been studied from the 1950s, as they can be used in a wide range of real-world applications, e.g., design of communication and transportation networks. In classical network design problems, the objective is to…
Optimal sampling strategies are critical for surveys of deeper coral reef and shoal systems, due to the significant cost of accessing and field sampling these remote and poorly understood ecosystems. Additionally, well-established standard…
One of the basic properties of a queueing network is stability. Roughly speaking, it is the property that the total number of jobs in the network remains bounded as a function of time. One of the key questions related to the stability issue…
Regionalization is the task of dividing up a landscape into homogeneous patches with similar properties. Although this task has a wide range of applications, it has two notable challenges. First, it is assumed that the resulting regions are…
