Current practices lack reliable models for continuously assessing compaction quality from limited data, which hinders effective compaction quality control and the acceptance of earthwork. Using material source parameters as inputs for assessment ...

• We conducted a quantitative analysis of intelligent SCA technology over the past 20 years using bibliometric methods and data portrait techniques and traced earlier literature for a systematic review.
• We identified the hotspots and ...

With the increasing promotion of digital technology, safety issues faced by rush ships in the maritime industry have once again received attention. Ship collision avoidance (SCA) is not only a hot topic in the shipping industry but also an eye-...

The control of indoor temperature in greenhouses is crucial as it directly impacts the crop's thermal comfort and the performance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Conventional feedback controllers, like on/off, can ...

Modern portable devices can execute increasingly sophisticated AI models on sensed data. The complexity of such processing tasks is data-dependent and has relevant energy cost. This work develops an Age of Information Markovian model for a system ...

Automation is increasingly at the forefront of transportation research, with the potential to bring fully autonomous vehicles to our roads in the coming years. This comprehensive survey provides a holistic look at the essential components and ...

Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) has been proposed as a cloud architecture to provide a common connected resource pool management. It separates the functionalities of the traditional Base Station (BS) into two parts: the Base Band Unit (BBU) ...

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication via cellular networks is a promising technique for 5G and beyond networks. The cars interact directly with one another, as well as with the infrastructure and various vehicles on the road, in this mode. ...

Constraint solving is the enabling technique for symbolic execution. The advancement of constraint solving boosts the development and application of symbolic execution. Modern Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers provide the mechanism of ...

In the context of smart city development, the managed pressure drilling (MPD) drilling process faces many uncertainties, but the characteristics of the process are complex and require accurate wellbore pressure control. However, this process runs the ...

Massive multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) plays an important role in enhancing the transmission reliability and capacity of the transmitting channel. However, the resource allocation (RA) and transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme are ...

• Literature review of systems maintenance through Reinforcement Learning.
• ...

Nowadays, modern engineering systems require sophisticated maintenance strategies to ensure their correct performance. Maintenance has become one of the most important tasks of the systems lifecycle. This paper presents a literature ...

Due to the broadcast nature of wireless networks, jamming attacks are inevitable. Therefore, this paper considers enhancing the throughput of a primary user (PU) suffering from a random jamming attack near the receiver in a cognitive ...

The academic examinations are scheduled as per the academic calendar. However, due to the occurrence of unprecedented events the exam schedule will get disturbed which in turn impacts the academic calendar. In this paper, we propose a temporally ...

Structural results impose sufficient conditions on the model parameters of a Markov decision process (MDP) so that the optimal policy is an increasing function of the underlying state. The classical assumptions for MDP structural results require ...

Flatness is a crucial indicator of strip quality that presents a challenge in regulation due to the high-speed process and the nonlinear relationship between flatness and process parameters. Conventional methods for controlling ...

This work proposes a stochastic model of the coordinator units of each wireless body area network (WBAN) in a multi-WBAN scenario. In a Smart Home environment, multiple patients can come into the vicinity of each other while each of them is ...

In “Who Is Next: Patient Prioritization Under Emergency Department Blocking,” Li, Sun, and Hong study how physicians and nurses choose the next patient for treatment in hospital emergency departments (EDs). Using data from a tertiary hospital in Alberta, ...

Upon arrival at emergency departments (EDs), patients are classified into different triage levels indicating their urgency. Using data from a large hospital in Canada, we find that, within the same triage level, the average waiting time (time from triage ...

In multi-provider 5G/6G networks, service delegation enables administrative domains to federate in provisioning NFV network services. Admission control in selecting the appropriate domain for service deployment, without prior knowledge ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-aided target tracking has been applied to many practical scenarios such as search and rescue missions. Edge computing has emerged as a promising solution to improve the performance of UAV-aided target tracking and to ...
