Optimisation-based design is an established methodology that aims to achieve a globally optimal solution complex process task by representing it as optimisation problem. We propose hybrid framework for decomposition-based design, centred around hierarchical reinforcement learning and mathematical programming. The enables the agent assemble processes, employ programming, discover designs without...

The Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Hidden Markov Model (HDP-HMM) has been used widely as a natural Bayesian nonparametric extension of the classical for learning from sequential and time-series data. A sticky HDP-HMM proposed to strengthen self-persistence probability in HDP-HMM. However, entangles strength prior transition together, limiting its expressiveness. Here, we propose more general mo...

The presence of PC computers since the 80s with its rapid and very widespread growth can be seen as a one most significant developments in field information communication technology. This study aims to propose decision making using Analytical Hierarchy Process approach evaluate computer respect order preference user. To get desirable features that affect choose identified. is realized through s...

Outsourcing some of the logistic activities is a useful strategy for companies in recent years. This makes it possible for firms to concentrate on their main issues and processes and presents facility to improve logistics performance, to reduce costs, and to improve quality. Therefore provider selection and evaluation in third-party logistics become important activities for companies. Making a ...

Editorial I welcome all to the current issue of Pharmaceutical Methods, and thank all our contributors. The reader will find that many of the articles that are published in the current issue refer to method validation and in particular to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines as the basis for their approach. The ICH was launched in 1990, with the objective of harmonizin...

A low-power packet-switched Network-on-Chip (NoC) is designed with hierarchical star topology and implemented in real silicon for possible application to high-performance SoCs. This dissertation presents how to obtain low power consumption in NoC while the whole NoC design process is covered from the architecture decision to the system demonstration. First, a performance and cost oriented topol...
