A simulation based learning mechanism is proposed in this study. The system learns in the manufacturing environment by constructing a learning tree and selects a dispatching rule from the tree for each scheduling period. ...

This paper describes a system for the animation of fracturing brittle objects. The system combines rigid body simulation methods with a constraint-based model to animate fracturing of arbitrary polyhedral shaped objects ...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient scatternet formation algorithm for Bluetooth based sensor networks. The algorithm is based on first computing a shortest path tree from the base station to all sensor nodes and ...

Automatic detection of a falling person in video is an important problem with applications in security and safety areas including supportive home environments and CCTV surveillance systems. Human motion in video is modeled ...

The Food Supply System is one of the main elements of the Army Logistics System. The ultimate objective in a food supply system is to provide the food at the right time and in the right amount at the right place. If this ...

We consider accurate solution of scattering problems involving complicated metamaterial (MM) structures consisting of thin wires and split-ring resonators. The scattering problems are formulated by the electric-field ...

2D nonconcentric reflector antenna-in-radome system is analyzed for H-polarization case. Rigorous formulation is performed depending on the MoR, Green's function and CSP methods. Larger geometries are solved in reasonable ...

The accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) for the Method of Moments (MOM) and fast-multiple-method (FMM) solutions of the electromagnetic scattering problems modeled by abitrary planar triangulations is ...

Bluetooth networks can be constructed as piconets or scatternets depending on the number of nodes in the network. Although piconet construction is a well-defined process specified in Bluetooth standards, scatternet ...
