Framework optimizations capitalize on object dependencies, while framework flexibility and composability demand object independence. This paper shows how to balance these conflicti...
We study a problem faced by a major beverage producer. The company produces and distributes several brands to various customers from its regional distributors. For some of these b...
We describe the design features that underlie the operation of iSprawl, a small (0.3 Kg) autonomous, bio-inspired hexapod that runs at 15 body-lengths/second (2.3 m/s). These featu...
A novel hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) for jointly optimizing source and channel codes is presented in this paper. The algorithm first uses GA for the coarse search of source and ch...
The selection of a cost-minimizing combination of hardware and network components that satisfy organizational requirements is a complex design problem with multiple degrees of fre...
