Active Computation for Network ATR Systems

Abstract

Our work focused on design and implementations guidelines for ATR systems that must adapt to time-varying resource constraints. The goal is to have systems that can dynamically change based on the availability of time, number of processors, communication bandwidth, and system architecture including access to remote databases. The systems should have nearly optimal performance given the resources available. One set of designs proposed is based on hierarchical data and processing models and on-line performance evaluation. The hierarchical models are based on information-theoretic considerations, a fundamental basis that is unique to our approach.
