Abstract— Prediction of natural gas consumption is an important element in gas load management aimed to better utilize the facilities of a gas distribution system. The major chal...
Modeling the reliability of distributed systems requires a good understanding of the reliability of the components. Careful modeling allows highly fault-tolerant distributed appli...
Generative topographic mapping (GTM) is a statistical model to extract a hidden smooth manifold from data, like the self-organizing map (SOM). Although a deterministic search algo...
Precise teleoperation of deztrous robotic hands by hand masters requires an accurate human hand model. A kinematic model of a human index finger is developed as an example for hum...
The Self-Organizing Map, SOM, is a widely used tool in exploratory data analysis. A major drawback of the SOM has been the lack of a theoretically justified criterion for model se...
