Spanish Initiative for Fully Automated Stowage on Roll-on/roll-off Operations

A Shortest Path Heuristic for Evaluating the Quality of Stowage Plans in Roll-On Roll-Off Liner Shipping

An Automated Stowage Planning System for Large Containerships

The purpose of this study is to develop a system to automatically generate stowage plan for large containerships. The system consists of three modules: stowage plan generator, stability module and optimization engine. This paper presents the architecture and the work of the first module stowage plan generator, which is used to automatically generate a feasible stowage plan with reasonable crane...

Mixed-Initiative Control for Collaborative Countermine Operations

This paper discusses experimental results achieved by using mixed initiative robot behavior to address the challenges of detecting and marking buried metal landmines. Mission requirements pertaining to communication bandwidth and operator workload precluded conventional approaches to communication and tasking. Instead, a framework for sharing control and communicating “behavior intent” was deve...

Fully homomorphic SIMD operations

At PKC 2010 Smart and Vercauteren presented a variant of Gentry’s fully homomorphic public key encryption scheme and mentioned that the scheme could support SIMD style operations. The slow key generation process of the Smart–Vercauteren system was then addressed in a paper by Gentry and Halevi, but their key generation method appears to exclude the SIMD style operation alluded to by Smart and V...

Fully Roll-to-Roll Gravure Printable Wireless (13.56 MHz) Sensor-Signage Tags for Smart Packaging

Integration of sensing capabilities with an interactive signage through wireless communication is enabling the development of smart packaging wherein wireless (13.56 MHz) power transmission is used to interlock the smart packaging with a wireless (13.56 MHz) reader or a smart phone. Assembly of the necessary componentry for smart packaging on plastic or paper foils is limited by the manufacturi...
