An efficient “Simulation Optimization” technique is developed to solve system design problems which can not be expressed in explicit analytical or mathematical models. In part...
This paper discusses the linearly weighted combination of estimators in which the weighting functions are dependent on the input. We show that the weighting functions can be deriv...
—This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic theory to the reconstruction of solid models from engineering drawings. In engineering drawing, two-dimensional (2D) orthograph...
—The methodologies to calculate failure probability and to estimate the reliability of fatigue loaded structures are developed. The applicability of the methodologies is evaluate...
This paper presents a theoretical definition for designing EDAs called Elitist Convergent Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (ECEDA), and a practical implementation: the Boltzm...
