In high-performance VLSI circuits, the on-chip power densities are playing dominant role due to increased scaling of technology, increasing number of components, frequency and ban...
Image matting is the problem of determining for each pixel in an image whether it is foreground, background, or the mixing parameter, ”alpha”, for those pixels that are a mixt...
— One primary goal in rescue robotics is to deploy a team of robots for coordinated victim search after a disaster. This requires robots to perform subtasks, such as victim detec...
The possible variability of project delay is useful information to understand and mitigate the project delay risk. However, it is not sufficiently considered in the literature con...
