This work is aimed at exploring the interaction of communication andcontrol in systems whose sensors and actuators are distributed across ashared network. Examples of such systems include groups of autonomousvehicles, MEMS ...

A discussion of the extensions or modifications required to integrate ATM into hybrid networks, i.e. seamlessly interconnected terrestrial and space, wireline and wireless networks will be presented. In this context, the ...

The US airspace is reaching its capacity with the current Air Traffic Control system and a number of flights that is constantly rising, and estimated to be over 54 million per year by 2002. The FAA has undertaken several ...

During the last few years, the advent of the CD-Rom, and the introduction of high bandwidth communications networks has caused a spectacular explosion in the availability of large video- libraries. While a great deal of ...

This paper proposes a user interface for remote access of the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human digital image library. Users can visualize the library, browse contents, locate data of interest, and retrieve ...

This paper describes models that estimate the cost and time of sheet metal punching when nesting (batching) orders. These models help decision-makers plan production and evaluate the impact of changing the nesting policy. ...

One of the important activities in process planning is the design of fixtures to position, locate and secure the workpiece during operations such as machining, assembly and inspection. The proposed approach for variant ...

The availability of low-cost computational power is a driving force behind the growing sophistication of CAD software. Tools designed to reduce time-consuming build-test-redesign iterations are essential for increasing ...

As the digital signal processing technology advances, the use of adaptive arrays to combat multipath fading and to reduce interference becomes increasingly valuable as a means of adding capacity to mobile communications. ...

Ceramic materials are ideal candidates for dental restorative applications for their color, texture, and mechanical properties which closely resemble those of the human enamel. However, due to the inherent brittleness of ...
