This paper proposes a calibration method for catadioptric camera systems consisting of a surface of revolution mirror and a perspective camera, such as HyperOmni Vision. The propo...
Multihop lightwave networks are a means of utilizing the large bandwidth of optical fibers. In these networks, each node has a fixed number of transmitters and receivers connected...
A fast design variation technique for mechanical systems is presented. It is used to interactively optimize mechanical characteristics while "self-assembling" or satisfy...
Design decisions for complex, component-based systems impact multiple quality of service (QoS) properties. Often, means to improve one quality property deteriorate another one. In ...

This paper identifies five distinct mechanisms by which a population-based algorithm might have an advantage over a solo-search algorithm in classical optimization. These mechanism...
