The deluge of web pages has generated dystopian commentaries on the tragedy of the flood as well as utopian visions of harnessing the same flood for constructive purposes. Within this ocean of information there are also ...

We model digital binary image data as realizations of a bounded discrete random set, a mathematical object which can be directly defined on a finite lattice. We consider the problem of estimating realizations of discrete ...

The Line Spectrum Pair (LSP) parameters have been established as one of the most efficient methods for representing the short-time speech spectra. The effectiveness of this method is due to two main properties, namely, the ...

With the ever-increasing congestion at airports around the world, studies into ways of minimizing delay costs on the ground while meeting the goals of the airlines are necessary. When arrival capacities are reduced at major ...

In this paper we consider the design of material handling flow paths in a discrete parts manufacturing facility. A fixed-charge capacitated network design model is presented and two efficient heuristics are proposed to ...

ISO 9000 is a series of international quality standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1987. It provides a comprehensive set of generic standards that applies to all phases of the ...

ATM networks provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to connections for theirlifetime in the form of bounds on delay, error and/or loss. Theguarantees are important for real-time connections in which losses areirrecoverable and ...

This paper studies the asymptotic stabilization of two and three dimensional nonlinear control systems. In the two dimensional case we review some of our recent work and in the three dimensional case we give some new ...

Association Rule Mining algorithms operate on a data matrix (e.g., customers x products) to derive rules [2,23]. We propose a single-pass algorithm for mining linear rules in such a matrix based on Principal Component ...
