Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
The human figure exhibits complex and rich dynamic behavior that is both nonlinear and time-varying. However, most work on tracking and analysis of figure motion has employed eith...
Aircraft sizing studies consist in determining the main characteristics of an aircraft starting from a set of requirements. These studies can be summarized as global constrained o...
In modern systems, developers are often unable to modify the underlying operating system. To build services in such an environment, we advocate the use of gray-box techniques. Whe...
In analyzing data from social and communication networks, we encounter the problem of classifying objects where there is an explicit link structure amongst the objects. We study t...
