For many types of integrated circuits, accepting larger failure rates in computations can be used to improve energy efficiency. We study the performance of faulty implementations of certain deep neural networks based on pessimistic and optimistic models of the effect of hardware faults. After identifying the impact of hyperparameters such as the number of layers on robustness, we study the abil...

Beta-binders is a comparatively new modeling formalism introduced for systems biology. To execute Beta-binders models, suitable simulators are required which translate the operational semantics of Beta-binders into a sound and efficient execution. Efficiency can be reached by parallel and distributed simulation and by a proper representation of models to ensure a fast manipulation. Both possibi...

Interval DEA frontiers are here used in situations where one input or output is subject to uncertainty in its measurement and is presented as an interval data. We built an efficient frontier without any assumption about the probability disttribution function of the imprecise variable. We take into account only the minimum and the maximum values of each imprecise variable. Two frontiers are cons...

We model the academic production process understood as the creation, submission, evaluation and publication of papers: scientists produce manuscripts to the best of their abilities and try to publish them in academic journals, which rely on referees to judge the submissions. The resulting model is able to reproduce several properties of the journal-landscape but also illustrates that even under...

The Gibbs sampler is a very simple yet efficient method for the performance evaluation of product form loss networks. This paper introduces the setwise Gibbs sampler as a flexible technique for analysing closed BCMP networks, which model telecommunication networks using window flow control. The efficiency of another variant, the filtered Gibbs sampler (FGS), is also investigated. It is shown th...

This paper demonstrates the implementation of low cost switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and application of RT lab as real time hardware-in-loop (HIL) controller. Split DC converter and positioning sensing arrangement is developed for 500W 8/6 pole SRM. Control part is implemented using Opal RT Lab technology. Application and optimistic characteristics of proposed low cost drive are describ...
