— This paper describes a motion planning algorithm for a quadrotor helicopter flying autonomously without GPS. Without accurate global positioning, the vehicle’s ability to lo...
Both simulated annealing (SA) and the genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic and derivative-free optimization technique. SA operates on one solution at a time, while the GA mainta...

— We consider a collocated wireless network where all links contend for a given channel and each link can hear others’ transmissions. Due to channel fading, the link condition ...
— Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the key steps during nanometer VLSI manufacturing process where minimum variation of layout pattern densities is desired. This pap...
