DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
Generic libraries, such as the C++ Standard Template Library (STL), provide flexible, high-performance algorithms and data types, along with functional specifications and performa...
We explore a periodic analysis in the context of unobserved components time series models that decompose time series into components of interest such as trend, seasonal and irregu...
Recent work in the philosophy of science has generated an apparent conflict between theories attempting to explicate the nature of scientific representation. On one side, there are...
Security and reliability are of paramount importance in designing and building real-time systems because any security failure can put the public and the environment at risk. In th...
