Adaptive multiagent algorithms based upon the behaviour of social insects are powerful decentralised systems capable of solving complex problems. The intelligence of such a system ...
Abstract. A new simple and efficient database encryption scheme is presented. The new scheme enables encrypting the entire content of the database without changing its structure. I...
The subject of this paper is the design of a new concept of modular parallel mechanisms for three, four or five-axis machining applications. Most parallel mechanisms are designed ...
A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
Abstract. This paper presents a general framework to segment curvilinear objects in 2D images. A pre-processing step relies on mathematical morphology to obtain a connected line wh...
