Abstract The explosion of content in distributed information retrieval (IR) systems requires new mechanisms to attain timely and accurate retrieval of unstructured text. In this pa...
This paper presents the design of a selective-actuation flexure parallel mechanism that can provide three independent translational motions. The mechanism can be used as an ultra p...
Given a simple polygon P with m vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of finding a rigid motion placement of P that contains the maximum number of...
Using a dynamic systems model for the Simple Genetic Algorithm due to Vose[1], we analyze the fixed point behavior of the model without crossover applied to functions of unitation...
This research examines the performance of CONWIP versus "push" workload control in a simple, balanced manufacturing flowline. Analytical models and simulation experiment...
