(2014-12-15)
Wireless sensor networks, thanks to recent technological advances, has become prevalent and offer a variety of applications ranging from environmental monitoring to support and automate chores fields. However, this very ...
Strategies to Implement Parallel Discrete Event System Specification Algorithms
(AUST, 2014-12-15)
Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism is a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) framework that provides a means of specifying systems. It separates a model from its simulator. The former describes the structure and ...
Genetic Algorithms for timetable Generation
(AUST, 2014-12-15)
Timetabling presents an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem which requires an efficient search algorithm. This research aims at designing a genetic algorithm for timetabling real-world school resources to fulfil a ...
