This paper proposes the framework of the scenario-based 3D image synthesizing system that allows common users who envision a scenario in their mind to realize it into the segments of cool animation. We focused on utilization of the existing motions to synthesize new motions for the objects. The framework is useful to build a 3D animation in game programming with a limited set of 3D objects. We ...

European aircraft industry demands for reduced development and operating costs, by 20% and 50% in the short and long term, respectively. Contributions to this aim are provided by the completed project POSICOSS and the running follow-up project COCOMAT, both supported by the European Commission. As an important contribution to cost reduction a decrease in structural weight can be reached by expl...

With ever-increasing global competition, continuously enhancing the overall efficiency of the manufacturing lines is an important goal for many organizations. Given the variety of disturbances in such lines that continue to occur with surprise, deft handling of dis turbances is a key concern for more reliable and robust manufacturing systems. Through a case study of parallel manufacturing proce...

We propose a systematic algorithmic reverse-stress testing methodology to create “worst case” scenarios for regulatory stress tests by accounting losses that arise from distressed portfolio liquidations. First, we derive the optimal bank response any given shock. Then, introduce an algorithm which systematically generates exploit key vulnerabilities in banks' holdings and thus maximize contagio...

Latency of user-based and item-based recommenders is evaluated. The two algorithms can deliver high quality predictions in dynamically changing environments. However, their response time depends not only on the size, but also on the structure of underlying datasets. This constitutes a major drawback when compared to two other competitive approaches i.e. content-based and model-based systems. Th...
