In robust optimization, finding a solution that solely respects the constraints is not enough. Usually, uncertainty and unknown parameters of model are represented by random variables. such conditions, good to most-likely assignments these Recently, Confidence constraint has been introduced Mercier-Aubin et al. in order enforce this type robustness programming. Unfortunately, it restricted conj...

This paper describes an algorithm for shape estimation in cluttered scenes. A new image potential is defined based on strokes detected in the image. The motivation is simple. Feature detectors (e.g., edge points detectors) produce many outliers which hamper the performance of boundary extraction algorithms. To overcome this difficulty we organize edges in strokes and assign a confidence degree ...

Software reliability is becoming the dominant concern in software development. This particularly holds for the development of safety-critical control systems. Any failure of these systems can result in catastrophic loss of life and property. Hence, it is essential to ensure with a high degree of confidence that these systems meet their reliability requirements prior to deploying them in the fie...
