Optimizing Product Formulation With JMP and SAS Enterprise Miner

There are many products across a range of industries that rely on formulation and testing in a laboratory setting. In some cases, the formulation is guided by well-understood scientific principles. In other cases, historical process and empirical data show the way to effective product recipes and formulation techniques. This paper...

Planning Base Station and Relay Station Locations in IEEE 802.16j Multi-Hop Relay Networks

In this paper, a problem formulation for determining optimal node location for Base Stations BSs and Relay Stations RSs in relay-based 802.16 networks is developed. The formulation results in an Integer Programming problem. A small modification to the original model is also considered in which the state space is reduced...

Differential Delay Aware Routing for Ethernet Over SONET/SDH

The Virtual Concatenation protocol in SONET/SDH has ushered in a novel routing paradigm that enables a circuit to be "Split" and routed over multiple paths. However, this diverse routing causes differential delay among the paths which can impact service if not accounted for in the routing. This paper introduces the...

Joint Optimization of Segmentation and Appearance Models

Many interactive image segmentation approaches use an objective function which includes appearance models as an unknown variable. Since the resulting optimization problem is NP-hard the segmentation and appearance are typically optimized separately, in an EM-style fashion. One contribution of this paper is to express the objective function purely in terms...

Achievable Bandwidth Estimation for Stations in Multi-Rate IEEE 802.11 WLAN Cells

This paper analyzes the effect of multi-rate transmissions in a CSMA wireless LAN environment. Observations in a real testbed showed that bandwidth resources (in Bytes/s) are shared fairly among all stations even though transmissions carried out at lower rates capture the medium for longer periods, which drastically reduces the overall...
