Evaluating Product Machinability for Concurrent Engineering
(1992)
Decisions made during the design of a machined part can significantly affect the product's cost, quality, and lead time. Thus, in order to address the goals of concurrent engineering, it is important to evaluate the ...
Reconfiguration for Programmable ASIC Arrays
(1992)
In an approach recently proposed for the yield enhancement of programmable gate arrays (PGAs), an initial placement of a circuit is first obtained using a standard technique such as simulated annealing on a defect-free ...
A Class of Conflict Free Petri Nets Used for Controlling Manufacturing Systems
(1992)
This paper is devoted to the behavior, evaluation and management of non-cyclic discrete systems in general and manufacturing systems in particular. We introduce a special type of Petri nets called CFIOs (Conflict-Free nets ...
An ESPRIT Algorithm for Tracking Time-Varying Signals
(1992)
ESPRIT is a successful algorithm for determining the constant directions of arrival of a set of narrowband signals on an array of sensors. Unfortunately, its computational burden makes it unsuitable for real time processing ...
Data Access Scheduling in Firm Real-Time Database Systems
(1992)
A major challenge addressed by conventional database systems has been to efficiently implement the transaction model, which provides the properties of atomicity, serializability, and permanence. Real-time applications have ...
Adaptive Output Tracking of Invertible MIMO Nonlinear Systems
(1992)
In this paper we discuss some initial results on the adaptive tracking of MIMO nonlinear systems which do not have a well defined vector relative degree. First, we consider systems that are right-invertible with linear ...
VLSI Algorithms and Architectures for Time-Recursive Discrete Sinuoidal Transforms with Applications to Real-Time Video Communications
(1992)
In this dissertation, we address the problem of developing efficient VLSI algorithms and architectures for discrete sinusoidal transforms in real-time applications for video communication systems. The major difficulty of ...
Network Reliability
(1992)
This paper provides a detailed review of the state of the art in the field of network reliability analysis. The primary model treated is a stochastic network in which arcs fail randomly and independently with known failure ...
Macromodeling for Mixed Signal Circuits
(1992)
Macromodels of functional blocks of VLSI circuits are used to reduce the computational effort involved in the detailed simulation of general-purpose circuits. However the macromodeling approaches in the literature have ...
Fast Gravity: An n-Squared Algorithm for Identification of Synchronous Neural Assemblies
(1992)
The identification of synchronously active neural assemblies in simultaneous recordings of neuron activities is an important research issue and a difficult algorithmic problem. A gravitational analysis method was developed ...
