Dynamic programming algorithms provide a basic tool identifying optimal solutions in Markov Decision Processes (MDP). The paper develops a representation for decision diagrams sui...
Following the work of Stephens and coworkers on the coarse-grained dynamics of genetic systems, we work towards a possible generalisation in the context of genetic algorithms, givi...
This paper presents a new approach to cross-level hierarchical high-level synthesis. A methodology is presented, that supports the efficient synthesis of hierarchical specified sy...
Internet-based virtual environments (VEs) let users explore multiple virtual worlds with many different geometric models which are downloaded rather than predistributed. To avoid ...
The ability to accurately predict the lifetime of building components is crucial to optimizing building design, material selection and scheduling of required maintenance. This pap...
