• Barker and Martin, Dynamics of a Distance-Based Population Diversity Measure (This paper appeared at the Congress on Evolutionary Computation, July 2000.)

• Barker, Self-Organizing Switchbox Routing on an Adaptive Resistor Grid, Dec. 1997. (This paper discusses a method for solving certain instances of the switchbox routing problem. It is based on a positive feedback process, similar to erosion, implemented as current flow in a simulated grid of resistors.)

  Barker, String, Array, and Matrix Classes in C++ (paper packed with the free software distribution) (Last modified Apr. 22, 1996)

• Barker, Brown, and Martin, Static Data Association with a Terrain-Based Prior Density (This paper discusses the use of a subjective prior density in data association and state estimation. Extentions to the dynamic case and the relation to Kalman filtering are also discussed. Refinements of parts of this report appear in IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C, Vol. 28, No. 1, Feb. 1998.)

• Barker, Brown, and Martin, Bayesian Estimation and the Kalman Filter. (The published version of this paper appears in Computers and Mathematics with Applications, Vol. 30, No. 10, 1995. The paper is a tutorial on Kalman filtering from a Bayesian perspective. Examples include a probabilistic Turing machine, dynamic classification, and tracking a moving object.)

• Barker, Brown, and Martin, A Framework for the Compact Representation of Data Used By Data Fusion Algorithms, May 1991. (Note that the title page prints at the end of the postscript file. This paper still needs some work that we have not had the occasion to do. Nonetheless, it has some good ideas in it.)

• Barker, Neural Network Applications to Sensor Data Fusion, May 1989. (My MS thesis. Note that the title page and table of contents print at the end of the postscript file. Refinements of some parts of this work appear in ORSA Journal on Computing, Vol. 2, No. 2, Spring 1990.)
