Robinson The design and analysis of advanced algorithms is useful in a variety of applications. Combinatorial analysis of discrete structures is important in analyzing algorithms as well as in understanding the properties of the discrete structures themselves. Established research at UGA in this area has focussed on exact and asymptotic combinatorial enumeration, structural studies, loop-free algorithms, and analysis of graph games. Recent studies have expanded to include Thue-like sequences and randomized combinatorial algorithms. Databases and Distributed Information Systems Kochut , Miller , Potter , Sheth Today's information systems utilize a variety of sophisticated software tools and systems.
Database systems form the core technology supporting modern information systems.
In conjunction with the Artificial Intelligence Center, several studies in computational intelligence have been conducted. Various computational approaches such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, neural networks and parallel and distributed processing are being investigated in the context of these low-level vision problems. In high-level vision, the current research is focused on the identification and localization of objects in range and intensity images from prestored CAD models. Efficient recognition and localization algorithms based on graph theory such as subgraph isomorphism and hypergraph monomorphism are being investigated. Issues related to efficient retrieval from large object model databases are also being addressed.
