"The steel industry faces increasing challenges in managing product diversity, maintaining competitiveness, and improving operational efficiency. Within this context, recommendation systems present a promising opportunit...

This paper provides an overview of Multi-Protocol Label Switching Technology (MPLS). Distinctive issues are presented as well as Quality of Service (QoS). Traffic Engineering (TE) features are discussed. It also describe...

Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a deve...

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components....

Abstract It is usually assumed that the real area of contact between two nominally flat metal surfaces is determined by the plastic deformation of their highest asperities. This leads at once to the result that the real ...

Presents a review of 200 references in content-based image retrieval. The paper starts with discussing the working conditions of content-based retrieval: patterns of use, types of pictures, the role of semantics, and the...

A comprehensive introduction to network flows that brings together the classic and the contemporary aspects of the field, and provides an integrative view of theory, algorithms, and applications. presents in-depth, self-...

Adaptive systems behavior based on user models appear promising, mostly for complex environments such as mixed reality environments (MRE). An MRE comprises a virtual representation of the reality as well as physical obj...

The Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol that has been designed to provide reliable transport over the Internet. While the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is the most popular transp...

Programming embedded devices has been historically a difficult task, involving the learning of the features of a specific device such as the assembly language of a processor. This led to the use of Java in embedded syste...

In December, 2019, a local outbreak of pneumonia of initially unknown cause was detected in Wuhan (Hubei, China), and was quickly determined to be caused by a novel coronavirus,1WHOWHO statement regarding cluster of pneu...

Prediction tasks over nodes and edges in networks require careful effort in engineering features used by learning algorithms. Recent research in the broader field of representation learning has led to significant progres...

Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. We study how to select good features according to the maximal statistical dependency criterion based on mutual information. Because of the dif...

A review of prior, relevant literature is an essential feature of any academic project.An effective review creates a firm foundation for advancing knowledge.It facilitates theory development, closes areas where a plethor...

Model efficiency has become increasingly important in computer vision. In this paper, we systematically study neural network architecture design choices for object detection and propose several key optimizations to impro...

The way that information propagates in neural networks is of great importance. In this paper, we propose Path Aggregation Network (PANet) aiming at boosting information flow in proposal-based instance segmentation framew...

From the Publisher: This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory—and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATL...

It is commonly said that a pattern has four essential parts: a statement of the context where the pattern is useful, the problem that the pattern addresses, the forces that play in forming a solution, and the solution th...

We discuss the features and current status of a software tool developed for checking refinement properties of a particular (though still quite general) class of probabilistic nondeterministic programs. The tool has been ...

Defining software requirements is a complex and difficult process, which often leads to costly project failures. Requirements emerge from a collaborative and interactive negotiation process that involves heterogeneous s...

Enterprise architectures create a technical platform to meet current and future business needs. In this sense, architectural components ensure IT capabilities are modelled in every business process. Current approaches to...

Sharing of behavior is one of the most important features in the Object-Oriented paradigm. The two classical organisations of sharing are classes and prototypes, raising two different models and two families of object or...
