Research in Polar Regions is a complex task due to the extremely harsh environment. Mobile robots and robotic manipulators can aid research in these regions by performing tasks with automated precision, reducing the need for human involvement. Because most projects in these regions are labor-intensive, expensive in terms of time and cost, and possibly dangerous, autonomously performing such tas...

Abstract We are concerned with a certain class of Schlömilch series that arise naturally in the study of diffraction problems when the scatterer is a periodic structure. By combining new results derived from integral representations and the Poisson summation formula with known identities, we obtain expressions which enable the series to be computed accurately and efficiently. Most of the techni...

Service-based applications have been attracting a lot of attention from both academia and industry in recent years. Therefore, as these applications need to operate in a highly dynamic and distributed world, they should adapt their behavior to ensure the expected functionality and quality. Many adaptation techniques have been proposed so far focusing on a single layer of the SBA life-cycle. In ...

Prototype Selection and Prototype Generation are two lively research fields. As time goes by, new methods are developed following the basic guidelines that any Prototype Reduction algorithm should accomplish. These new methods often offer to the comunity different viewpoints to the problem, as well as better and more efficient approaches. This technical report provides a survey of the newest Pr...

We are interested in the applications of invariant theory to computer vision problems. A survey and clariication of the diierent invariant calculation methods are detailed in our extented technical report 1]. In this paper, we concentrate on 3D invariants from pairs of images instead of invariants related to the planar projective transformations from monocular image, that have been already larg...
