When a fault such as unbalance occurs in a turbo-generator set, sensors should be put on its bearing to detect vibration signals for extracting fault symptoms, but the relationshi...
Distributed hard real-time systems require guaranteed communication. One common approach is to restrict network access by enforcing a time-division multiple access (TDMA) schedule...
In this paper we show how Constraint Programming (CP) techniques can improve the efficiency and applicability of grid-based algorithms for optimising surface contact between comple...
In this paper, we propose a set of similarity metrics for manipulating collections of values occuring in XML documents. Following the data model presented in TAX algebra, we treat...
