When developing systems based on COTS, components need to be adapted in most of the occasions to work under certain conditions which were not initially predicted by their develope...
Performance evaluation of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems is an important but still unsolved problem. The reason for its importance is that only performance evaluatio...
Abstract. One key to several quality factors of software is the way components are connected. Software coupling can be used to estimate a number of quality factors, including maint...
The nonuniform substrate thermal profile and process variations are two major concerns in the present-day ultradeep submicrometer designs. To correctly predict performance/ leakage...
This paper presents a method for enlarging the domain of attraction of nonlinear model predictive control (MPC). The usual way of guaranteeing stability of nonlinear MPC is to add...
