Roadmap for network-based biocomputation

National Biocomputation Center

Rapid development of videoendoscopic surgical procedures presents a formidable challenge to the traditional apprenticeship-based training system. Limited access to the operating field, compared to open surgery, is associated with a decrease in the number of visual cues available to surgeons, thereby emphasizing the need to rely on tactile senses, rather than visualization alone. Further, the re...

Reachability-based analysis for Probabilistic Roadmap planners

In the last fifteen years, sampling-based planners like the Probabilistic Roadmap Method (PRM) have proved to be successful in solving complex motion planning problems. While theoretically, the complexity of the motion planning problem is exponential in the number of degrees of freedom, sampling-based planners can successfully handle this curse of dimensionality in practice. We give a reachabil...

Roadmap-Based Flocking for Complex Environments

Flocking behavior is very common in nature, and there have been ongoing research efforts to simulate such behavior in computer animations and robotics applications. Generally, such work considers behaviors that can be determined independently by each flock member solely by observing its local environment, e.g., the speed and direction of its neighboring flock members. Since flock members are no...

Penetration Testing: A Roadmap to Network Security

Network penetration testing identifies the exploits and vulnerabilities those exist within computer network infrastruc‐ ture and help to confirm the security measures. The objective of this paper is to explain methodology and methos behind penetra‐ tion testing and illustrate remedies over it, which will provide substantial value for network security Penetration testing should model r...
