This paper describes an agent-based approach to the automatic provision of Permanent Virtual Channels (PVC) in ATM networks. The agent framework described fosters flexibility and seamless evolution by the definition of capability skills. Skills are plugged into the agent’s brain which is responsible for the coordination of the agent’s behavior. The application of this agent framework to the pro...

A new real-time closed-captioning system for Japanese broadcast news programs is described. The system is based on a hybrid automatic speech recognition system that switches input speech between the original program sound and the rephrased speech by a ”re-speaker”. It minimises the number of correction operators, generally to one or two, depending on the difficulties of the speech recognition, ...

Many nonlinear dynamical phenomena can be effectively modeled by a system that switches among a set of conditionally linear dynamical modes. We consider two such Markov jump linear systems: the switching linear dynamical system (SLDS) and the switching vector autoregressive (S-VAR) process. In this paper, we present a nonparametric Bayesian approach to identifying an unknown number of persisten...

This paper is concerned with the parts' moving problem based on an event-driven planning and control. We are interested in developing feedback based approaches to the automatic generation o f actuator commands that cause the robot to move a set o f parts jkom an arbitrary initial disassembled configuration to a specified final configuration. In the Phase 1 o f this project, a composite algorith...
