During the period of the grant, 6/15/95-6/30/98, we investigated problems in major areas: (1) Image Analysis Tasks, including image interpretation, object recognition, and tracking; (2) Distributed communication networks and distributed resource allocation. In the former area, we developed and explored three paradigms: hierarchical compositional models; deformable templates for a host of applications including medical tasks; and HMM/deformable templates for tracking and recognition of moving objects. In the later area, we developed a novel scheme for managing buffer overflows; a new framework for network security; and a mathematical framework for synthesizing distributed algorithms.
