This paper describes the implementation of transmission-line matrix (TLM) method algorithms on a massively parallel computer (DECmpp 12000), the technique of distributed computing in the UNIX environment, and the combination of TLM analysis with Prony's method as well as with autoregressive moving average (ARMA) digital signal processing for electromagnetic field modelling. By combining these advanced computation techniques, typical electromagnetic field modelling of microwave structures by TLM analysis can be accelerated by a few orders of magnitude.

In this paper the control architecture of the PRIAMOS mobile robot system is presented. It consists of four layers which integrate reactive and reflexive components in such a way that the robot can combine fast reaction to unexpected obstacles with predictive behaviour to known components in the environment. A solution for the problem of how to combine control layers which process information on different levels of abstraction and of increasing complexity is discussed. The reflexive part of the control architecture and the modification concerning the motion controller of the mobile robot which was necessary to apply the idea of reflexive navigation is described in more detail. The architecture presented allows motion tasks to be executed in partially unknown or changing environment in an efficient manner. Especially, the time-critical reflexive level is computationally less expensive than in previous approaches.

Providing realistic opposing forces is critical to the successful use of military training simulations. Unfortunately, a number of issues can make the manual control of realistic opposing forces difficult or unattainable, This paper explores these issues while discussing how Automatic Interactive Targets (AITs) can assist Training Exercise Controllers (TECs) in providing validated and realistic opposing forces in highly interactive situations. The features of the prototype Remote AIT Processing System (RAPS) are used to demonstrate how an AIT system can be designed to meet TEC requirements for automated entities, RAPS can provide remote control of AITs for existing or new systems while providing sufficient features to allow a TEC to appropriately select and control AITs for individual training exercises and crew proficiencies.

In industrial assembly, a registration mark can be placed on parts to aid a computer vision system in determining the position and orientation (pose) of parts. However, when sensor noise and limits on resolution introduce errors in the measured location of the registration mark, these errors can propagate into the measurement of part pose. In this paper, we define the registration mark problem: given an n-sided rigid planar polygonal part-and a set of k poses for the part, locate a point on the surface of the part that maximizes the minimum distance between transformed points. A registration mark at this point will be maximally robust to sensor imperfections. We give an 0(n log n + k4 log k log* k) time algorithm to solve this planar problem using a result from Schwartz and Sharir [21], and demonstrate the algorithm using a commercial vision system. Our results extend to classes of curved planar parts and polyhedral parts.

Remote-procedure calls (RPCs) allow distributed, high-level language programs to communicate and synchronize in the usual manner via subprogram calls. One of the great challenges in RPC research is to preserve the traditional call semantics despite the distribution and heterogeneity of the new environment. The main contribution of SUPRA-RPC is in addressing the passing of subprograms as RPC parameters. In doing so, SUPRA overcomes a number of technical difficulties, stemming from scoping, side-effects and other sources. Since supporting subprogram RPC parameters is harder than supporting nonsubprogram RPC parameters, the three (of six) components of the SUPRA architecture extend in novel ways the traditional functionality found in their counterparts in other RPC systems. The SUPRA stub generator extracts information not only from remote entry interfaces, but from any scope potentially referenced by a subprogram passed as an RPC parameter. In addition to the usual call- and accept-stubs and the marshaling and unmarshaling routines, the generator constructs out-of-scope access stubs, callback' and callback-handling-stubs, and modified parameter subprograms and others. The SUPRA run-time support manages a run-time symbol table to keep track of referencing environments and out-of-scope objects. When an out-of-scope object is unavailable for access or execution on the server, the object is reached by a synchronous, 'under-the-covers' callback. The SUPRA process management supports servers with independent threads of control, manages (possibly nested) callbacks and pools of callback handler threads, and maintains correct identification of thread-initiated calls or callbacks. A SUPRA prototype has been implemented on Sun Unix workstations. The prototype supports C, C++ and CommonLisp programs. A prototype graphical demonstration has been implemented as well, that represents RPC concepts in terms of common life objects and situations.

In this paper, an approach is presented for designing a robot controller to integrate path planning and motion execution. Instead of following an exactly planned geometric path, which cannot be easily modified to deal with uncertainties, a robot realizes its motion under the guidance of a sequence of grossly selected crucial points called subgoals. A fuzzy model is used for on-line controlling the robot to pass through the subgoals smoothly. With the help of heuristics for optimal motion control, the rule base can be developed. Such a concept provides a control method in realtime as well as a possibility of integrating sensor data for the subgoal-guided motion.< >
