This paper concerns the stability analysis of a new vision-based control which is invariant to camera intrinsic parameters. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the local asymptotic stability show that the control law is robust in the presence of large calibration errors. Local stability implies that the system can accurately track a path in the invariant space. Even if the camera is unc...

Stakeholders often control vital resources for decision makers, and this can lead decision makers to take stakeholder opinions into account when making important decisions. This process can be complicated by a number of factors. First, many important decisions involve risk and uncertainty. When the outcome is uncertain, how does a decision maker take the views of stakeholders into account? Seco...

One of the primary advantages of a high-level synthesis system is its ability to explore the design space. This paper presents several methodologies for design space exploration that compute all optimal tradeo points for the combined problem of scheduling, clock length determination, and module selection. We discuss how each methodology takes advantage of both the structure within the design sp...

A decision-maker who aims to select the ”best” collection of alternatives from the finite set of available ones might be severely restricted in the design of the selection method. If the representation of valuations of available alternatives is subject to invariance under linear scaling, such as the choice of the unit of measurement, a sensible way to compare choices is to compare weighted sums...
