We develop a hierarchical distributed production planning and control methodology, called DISCS, for a large and unstable semiconductor manufacturing process. The upper layer of D...
Simulation modeling has the capability to represent complex real-world systems in details and therefore it is suitable to develop simulation models for generating detailed operati...
— We explore motion planning for a new class of highly flexible bevel-tip medical needles that can be steered to previously unreachable targets in soft tissue. Planning for thes...

Historical data suggest that returns of stocks and indices are not distributed independent and identically Normal, as is commonly assumed. Instead, returns of financial assets are...
Flexible needle insertion into viscoelastic tissue is modeled in this paper with a linear beam supported by virtual springs. Using this simplified model, the forward and inverse ki...
