Semiconductor manufacturing comprises hundreds of consecutive unit processes. A single misprocess could jeopardize the whole process. In current environments, data monitoring equipment condition, wafer metrology, and inspection, etc., are used to probe any anomaly during process that affect final chip performance quality. The purpose investigation is fault detection classification (FDC). Variou...

Artificial Immune System is applied to determine the optimal hourly schedule of power generation in a hydrothermal system. A multi-reservoir cascaded hydroelectric system with a nonlinear relationship between water discharge rate, net head and power generation is considered. The water transport delay between connected reservoirs is taken into account. The transmission losses are also taken into...
