probabilistic robotics

Field Robot Event is an annual competition for small field robots intended for student teams. Field Robot project has been seen as a motivating challenge for project-based learning as it results to a working prototype. In Finland the team h...

Cost-Based Competition and Market Share Determination: A CES Analytical Framework

This study examines the micro-level mechanisms through which increasing market concentration and the entrenchment of competitive advantage arise. We develop a theoretical framework based on a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) produc...

Optimizing the Post Quantum Signature Scheme CROSS for Resource Constrained Devices

Post-quantum cryptosystems are currently attracting significant research efforts due to the continuous improvements in quantum computing technologies, which led the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to open standardizati...

Cybersecurity and platform competition in the cloud

Cloud computing services are examples of platforms in the classic sense of the economics of two-sided markets. In particular, indirect externalities arise in the cloud from connecting users with developers of complementary products or servi...

Cybersecurity

This chapter introduces students to cybersecurity and provides conceptual and methodological foundations for students’ further cybersecurity research. The chapter begins with an initial ‘Explore’ section that introduces the Colonial Pipelin...

Neural Network Models for Time Series Forecasts

Neural networks have been advocated as an alternative to traditional statistical forecasting methods. In the present experiment, time series forecasts produced by neural networks are compared with forecasts from six statistical time series ...

Unstructured Grid Computing Acceleration Algorithm Based on Sunway TaihuLight

The performance of unstructured grid computing on Sunway TaihuLight, a domestic heterogeneous many-core platform, is limited by sparse storage, discrete memory access, and data dependency.To relieve the sparse storage and discrete memory ac...

Designing a Model for Improving Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Business improvement has always been one of the basic issues in the business world. Due to the growing changes in technology, pervasive competition and the changing needs of customers, companies must pay attention to the permanence and impr...

European Ai-Policy Space

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the central technologies of the fourth industrial revolution. A significant part of the production of surplus value in the XXI century is associated with the mastery and widespread introduction of tech...

Automated monitoring innovations for efficient and safe construction practices

As construction projects increase in complexity, there are growing challenges with conventional monitoring methods in terms of efficiency, safety, and competitiveness. Traditional supervision techniques are labour-intensive, intermittent, a...

Statics and Dynamics of Selfish Interactions in Distributed Service Systems.

We study a class of games which models the competition among agents to access some service provided by distributed service units and which exhibits congestion and frustration phenomena when service units have limited capacity. We propose a ...

Deep Learning for Understanding Satellite Imagery: An Experimental Survey

Translating satellite imagery into maps requires intensive effort and time, especially leading to inaccurate maps of the affected regions during disaster and conflict. The combination of availability of recent datasets and advances in compu...

Application of Graph Structures in Computer Vision Tasks

On the one hand, the solution of computer vision tasks is associated with the development of various kinds of images or random fields mathematical models, i.e., algorithms, that are called traditional image processing. On the other hand, no...
