ICU epitomizes the critical sections of the hospital where the sickest patients are cared for. The physicians and staff in the ICU have specialized training to allow them to care for the sickest patients. By virtue of the type of patient that is cared for in the ICU, there are drugs used only and highly sophisticated pieces of equipment that are more likely to be found in the ICU. The majority ...

Procedures are used as prescribed action lists to help human operators remember and follow mandatory steps that guarantee safety, workload and performance criteria. This paper presents a categorization of situation awareness factors and suggestions for improving the design of both the procedures and the user-interface in new generation fligh-decks. These categories were constructed from the res...

The goal of coverage path planning is to determine a path that passes a detector over all points in an environment. This work prescribes a provably complete coverage path planner for robots in unknown spaces. We achieve coverage using Morse decompositions which are exact cellular decompositions whose cells are defined in terms of critical points of Morse functions. Generically, two critical poi...

Designing a routing protocol that can adapt to the changes in the underlying network conditions, as well as incorporating a minimum overhead is a challenging task for ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we present the Weighted Critical Path Routing (WCPR) protocol that strives to incorporate the merits of reactive and proactive ad hoc routing schemes. The aim of our work is to achieve low latency b...

Critical Pairs and Confluence of Arbitrary Binary Relations Rémy Haemmerlé and François Fages Projet Contraintes – INRIA Rocquencourt – France [email protected] Abstract. In a seminal paper, Huet introduced abstract properties of term rewriting systems, and the confluence analysis of terminating term rewriting systems by critical pairs computation. In this paper, we provide an abstrac...
