— Closed-loop, asymptotically stable walking motions are designed for a 5-link, planar bipedal robot model with one degree of underactuation. Parameter optimization is applied to...
Despite the growing interest for component-based systems, few works tackle the question of the trust we can bring into a component. This paper presents a method and a tool for bui...
Background: The design of long oligonucleotides for spotted DNA microarrays requires detailed attention to ensure their optimal performance in the hybridization process. The main ...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

In this paper we analyze the electricity portfolio problem of a big consumer in a multi-stage stochastic programming framework. Stochasticity enters the model via the uncertain spo...
