Development of an Algorithm for Automated Cause - Consequence Diagram Construction

Cause-consequence analysis is one of the best tools available for a comprehensive reliability study. The cause-consequence diagram (CCD) method, like fault tree analysis, represents the failure logic of the system, but in addition the CCD also identifies the complete set of consequences following a given initiating event. While there are well-developed commercialized software packages for fault...

Designing for Automated Construction

The majority of automated construction research and development has been bottom-up, from the construction / engineering side rather than top-down from the design end The first part of this paper is devoted to the design of a research programme which seeks to address topics related to the conceptual design of robotic systems for construction, and developing overall design principles for top-down...

Automated Construction of Rectangular Cartograms

A rectangular cartogram is a type of map where every region is a rectangle. The size of the rectangles is chosen such that their areas represent a geographic variable (e.g., population). Good rectangular cartograms are hard to generate: The area specifications for each rectangle may make it impossible to realize correct adjacencies between the regions and so hamper the intuitive understanding o...

Fast Routing Table Construction Using Small Messages

We describe a distributed randomized algorithm to construct routing tables. Given 0 < ε ≤ 1/2, the algorithm runs in time Õ(n + HD), where n is the number of nodes and HD denotes the diameter of the network in hops (i.e., as if the network is unweighted). The weighted length of the produced routes is at most O(ε−1 log ε−1) times the optimal weighted length. This is the first algorithm to break ...
