We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
We present a novel method to estimate an approximation of the reflectance characteristics of optically thick, homogeneous translucent materials using only a single photograph as ...
A successful industrial application of a novel type biomass estimator based on Genetic Programming (GP) is described in the paper. The biomass is inferred from other available meas...
