Optimal constellation design is important in military digital communications for Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). Optimization realizes a reduced probability of bit error (P...
Formal modelling, in interactive system design, has received considerably less real use than might have been hoped. Heavy weight formal methods can be expensive to use, with poor c...
In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to design faulttolerant analog controllers for a piezoelectric micro-robot. Firstorder and second-order functions are developed to ...
The severe competition in the market has driven enterprises to produce a wider variety of products to meet consumers' needs. However, frequent variation of product specificat...
How do design decisions impact the quality of the resulting software? In an empirical study of 52 ECLIPSE plug-ins, we found that the software design as well as past failure histo...
