The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
It is now apparent that our nation’s infrastructures and essential utilities have been optimized for reliability in benign operating environments. As such, they are susceptible ...
In the past few years, Rapid Thermal Processes (RTP) have gained acceptance as mainstream technology for semi-conductors manufacturing. These processes are characterized by a sing...
Citizen scientists, who are volunteers from the community that participate as field assistants in scientific studies [3], enable research to be performed at much larger spatial and...
Many recent techniques for timing analysis under variability, in which delay is an explicit function of underlying parameters, may be described as parameterized timing analysis. T...
