In this paper a novel, Gibbs sampler-based algorithm is proposed for coordination of autonomous swarms. The swarm is modeled as a Markov random field (MRF) on a graph with a time-...
An increase in the performance of deteriorating systems can be achieved through the adoption of suitable maintenance policies. One of the most popular maintenance policies is the ...
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has shown to be an efficient, robust and simple optimization algorithm. Most of the PSO studies are empirical, with only a few theoretical analys...
In this paper, we introduce a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. This protocol exploits the Markov Chain Model of Slotted...
—Instantaneous detection and diagnosis of various faults and break-downs in industrial processes is required to reduce production losses and damage to equipments. A solved knowle...
