This work presents results of our work in development of a genetic algorithm based path-planning
algorithm for local obstacle avoidance (local feasible path) of a mobile robot in a given …

Engineers and scientists use instrumentation and measurement equipment to obtain
information for specific environments, such as temperature and pressure. This task can be …

An important stage in circuit design is placement, where components are assigned to
physical locations on a chip. A popular contemporary approach for placement is the use of …

This paper describes the development of a genetic algorithm (GA) based path-planning
software for local obstacle avoidance. The GA uses a novel encoding technique, which was …

System security continues to be of increasing importance. To effectively address both
natural and intentional threats to large systems, the threats must be cataloged and analyzed. …

Design for medical system reliability has become an area of increasing importance. Medical
system threats, which include system failures as well as malicious attacks, often have …

This study presents an evolutionary computation system that can generate grid robot path
planning problems. An evolvable cellular representation that specifies how to build a PPP is …

An Electrical Engineering Summer Academy for Pre-College Students was held at the
University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, during the summers of 2007 and 2008. The Academy participants …

An important part of the integrated circuit design process is the channel routing stage, which
determines how to interconnect components that are arranged in sets of rows. The channel …

Disaster tolerance in computing and communications systems refers to the ability to maintain
a degree of functionality throughout the occurrence of a disaster. We accomplish the …
