The expectation of a random variable is its average value, where each value is weighted according to the probability that it comes up. The expectation is also called the expected value or the mean of the random variable. For example, suppose we select a student uniformly at random from the class, and let R be the student’s quiz score. Then E [R] is just the class average —the first thing everyo...

The translation of Digital products applicable to military application has been affected by the DoD's need for lower cost products. Products developed for military application must retain robust mechanical characteristics; however, each product may be tailored to meet government specifications such as mean time between failure and temperature range. Design changes for military use have had a be...

In a previous paper Low91] we presented two new models of timed CSP. The rst model included biased operators in the syntax, which could be used to model diierent priorities on actions. The second model extended this by adding a probabilistic choice operator to the syntax; this allowed us to give a semantics which modelled the probabilities of diierent behaviours occurring. In Low92b] we present...

In order to create more comfortable and energy saving living spaces, we have to investigate what is comfortable and how to measure comfort of users in a living space. Some measures of thermal comfort have been defined as Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) as an international standard. However, complex and high cost equipments are required to measure PMV by con...
