A hardware solution for real-time intelligent fingerprint acquisition

A symbolic solution to intelligent real-time control

Autonomous systems must operate in dynamic, unpredictable environments in real time. The task of ying a plane is an example of an environment in which the agent must respond quickly to unexpected events while pursuing goals at di erent levels of complexity and granularity. We present a system, Air-Soar, that achieves intelligent control through fully symbolic reasoning in a hierarchy of simulta...

Hardware-Based Solution Detecting Illegal References in Real-Time Java

The memory model used in the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) imposes strict assignment rules to or from memory areas preventing the creation of dangling pointers, and thus maintaining the pointer safety of Java. An implementation solution to ensure the checking of these rules before each assignment statement consists to use write barriers executing a stack-based algorithm. This paper pr...

A Framework for Intelligent Data Acquisition and Real-Time Database Searching for Shotgun Proteomics*

In the analysis of complex peptide mixtures by MS-based proteomics, many more peptides elute at any given time than can be identified and quantified by the mass spectrometer. This makes it desirable to optimally allocate peptide sequencing and narrow mass range quantification events. In computer science, intelligent agents are frequently used to make autonomous decisions in complex environments...
