This paper studies the flight path planning problem for a large-scale air traffic management (ATM) system. The goal is to find the optimal 4D path plan, represented by a sequence of waypoints and the corresponding time stamps, for each individual flight su ...
This is the first book to directly address the physics of urban sustainability, and how urban sustainability may be modelled and optimized. Starting with an introduction to the importance and key aspects of the topic, it moves on to a detailed consideratio ...
The scope of the IEEE Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee has a broad span, ranging from digital filtering and adaptive signal processing to statistical signal analysis, estimation, and detection. There have also been significan ...
Applications ranging from algorithmic trading to scientific data analysis require realtime analytics based on views over databases that change at very high rates. Such views have to be kept fresh at low maintenance cost and latencies. At the same time, the ...
We study the task of learning to rank images given a text query, a problem that is complicated by the issue of multiple senses. That is, the senses of interest are typically the visually distinct concepts that a user wishes to retrieve. In this paper, we p ...
Good software engineering practice demands generalization and abstraction, whereas high performance demands specialization and concretization. These goals are at odds, and compilers can only rarely translate expressive high-level programs to modern hardwar ...
This presentation discusses real-time optimization (RTO) strategies for improving process performance in the presence of uncertainty in the form of plant-model mismatch, drifts and disturbances. RTO typically uses a plant model to compute optimal inputs. I ...
We compare different growth methods with the aim of optimizing the long-range order of a graphene layer grown on Ru(0001). Combining chemical vapor deposition with carbon loading and segregation of the surface layer leads to autocorrelation lengths of 240 ...
Due to low power operation, intrinsic integrability and compatibility with CMOS processing, aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric (PZE) microcantilevers are a very attractive paradigm for resonant gas sensing. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the ...
We propose an active contour (a.k.a. snake) that takes the shape of an ellipse. Its evolution is driven by surface terms made of two contributions: the integral of the data over an inner ellipse, counterbalanced by the integral of the data over an outer el ...
