Recent work on the location of perinatal facilities in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro resulted in the development of an uncapacitated, three-level hierarchical model. An impor...
Abstract--This study proposes an efficient self-evolving evolutionary learning algorithm (SEELA) for neurofuzzy inference systems (NFISs). The major feature of the proposed SEELA i...
—The concept of p-cycle (preconfigured protection cycle) allows fast and efficient span protection in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. To design p-cycles f...
Abstract—Development of dynamic spectrum access and allocation techniques recently have made feasible the vision of cognitive radio systems. However, a fundamental question arise...
