Comparing with the classical barcode system, RFID extends the operational distance from inches to a number of feet (passive RFID tags) or even hundreds of feet (active RFID tags)....
Skyline queries have attracted considerable attention over the last few years, mainly due to their ability to return interesting objects without the need for user-defined scoring f...
The authors have developed a performance test, CPTOP2 (Cognitive Performance Test of Productivity), which consists of four task tests to evaluate cognitive abilities of office work...
We consider deployment problems where a mobile robotic network must optimize its configuration in a distributed way in order to minimize a steady-state cost function that depends ...
We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
