In the last decade a lot of effort has been invested into both theoretical and experimental analysis of sat phase transition. However, a deep theoretical understanding of this phenomenon is still lacking. It is still a very challenging problem to determine a relationship between crossover points for different sat problems. This paper introduces one new class of randomly generated sat problems, ...

Feature models are the basic instrument to analyze and configure the variability and commonality of a software product line. But feature models embody various different variability facets (structural, behavioral, non-functional, etc.). Features, used as core model, must be completed with other techniques (i.e. goals or UML models) to fulfill these variability aspects. This approach allows us to...

Line or linear structure detection is a very basic, yet important problem in image processing and computer vision. Many line detection algorithms are based on edge detection and consider lines as extended or contiguous edges. Most techniques require that a binary edge map be first extracted from the image before line detection is performed. In this paper, we propose a new line detection techniq...

Most biological approaches to disparity extraction rely on the disparity energy model (DEM). In this paper we present an alternative approach which can complement the DEM model. This approach is based on the multiscale coding of lines and edges, because surface structures are composed of lines and edges and contours of objects often cause edges against their background. We show that the line/ed...

Product Lines Architectures and Model Driven Architectures are techniques to achieve reuse of software assets. Combining these approaches facilitates the specification of platform independent models that can be used at stakeholders level to indicate computation independent functionality and at developers level to assist the generation of applications by means of transformations. In this scenari...

Assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. In many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. When some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...

Language model (LM) adaptation is needed to improve the performance of language-based interaction systems. There are two important issues regarding LM adaptation; the selection of the target data set and the mathematical adaptation model. In the literature, usually statistics are drawn from the target data set (e.g. cache model) to augment (e.g. linearly) background statistical language models,...

The problem of production flow in the manufacturing line is analyzed. The machines can be operated by workers or by robots. Since breakdowns and human factors affect the destabilization of the production processes, robots are preferred to apply. The problem is how to determine the real difference in work efficiency between human and robot. Analysis of the production efficiency and reliability o...

The traditional line-of-sight ultraviolet model cannot serve better for link performance study for the reason that the scattering characteristic is often ignored in the modelling process. Therefore, a line-of-sight ultraviolet bipyramid model in combination with transceiver full beam angles and geometrical relationship of the transceiver field of view intersection is established. The theoretica...
