In conventional vector space model for information retrieval, query vector generation is imperfect for retrieval of precise documents which are de-sired by user. In this paper, we present a stochastic based approach for optimiz-ing query vector without use ...
The paper studies the benefits of multi-path content delivery from a rate-distortion efficiency perspective. We develop an optimization framework for computing transmission schedules for streaming media packets over multiple network paths that maximize the ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tension-compression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of ...
The experimental validation of a real-time optimization (RTO) strategy for the optimal operation of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is reported in this paper. Unlike many existing studies, the RTO approach presented here utilizes the constraint-adapta ...
The efficiency of the simplest isomeric search procedure consisting in random generation of sets of atomic coordinates followed by density functional theory geometry optimization is tested on the silicon cluster series (Si-5-10,Si-15,Si-20). Criteria such ...
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 ...
The design and analysis of efficient approximation schemes are of fundamental importance in stochastic programming research. Bounding approximations are particularly popular for providing strict error bounds that can be made small by using partitioning tec ...
We consider the problem of designing controllers to steer mobile robots to the source (the minimizer) of a signal field. In addition to the mobility constraints, e.g., posed by the nonholonomic dynamics, we assume that the field is completely unknown to th ...

Tensegrity structures are spatial, discrete, and lightweight structures that are composed of struts in compression and pre-stressed cables. Stability is provided by the self-stress state between elements independently of external actions. Tensegrity struct ...
This paper proposes a dimension reduction technique for estimation in linear mixed models. Specifically, we show that in a linear mixed model, the maximum-likelihood (ML) problem can be rewritten as a substantially simpler optimization problem which presen ...
