Abstract. The purpose of this paper is (1) to provide a theoretical justification for the use of Monte-Carlo sampling for approximate resolution of NP-hard maximization problems in...

We consider the problem of selecting a subset of p out of n sensors for the purpose of event detection, in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Occurrence or not of the event of intere...
Background: The modeling of dynamic systems requires estimating kinetic parameters from experimentally measured time-courses. Conventional global optimization methods used for par...
This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
