Experimental detection using cyclostationary feature detectors for cognitive radios (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zolfaghari, M., Fanan, A., Mehdawi, M., Riley, N. G., & Ammar, M. (2014, November). Experimental detection using cyclostationary feature detectors for cognitive radios. Presented at 2014 22nd Telecommunications Forum, TELFOR 2014 - Proceedings of Papers, Serbia, Belgrade

© 2014 IEEE. Signal detection is widely used in many applications. Some examples include Cognitive Radio (CR) and military intelligence. Without guaranteed signal detection, a CR cannot reliably perform its role. Spectrum sensing is currently one of...

Local barycentric coordinates (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, J., Deng, B., Liu, Z., Patanè, G., Bouaziz, S., Hormann, K., & Liu, L. Local barycentric coordinates

Barycentric coordinates yield a powerful and yet simple paradigm to interpolate data values on polyhedral domains. They represent interior points of the domain as an affine combination of a set of control points, defining an interpolation scheme for... Read More about Local barycentric coordinates.

Robotized task time scheduling and optimization based on Genetic Algorithms for non redundant industrial manipulators (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baizid, K., Meddahi, A., Yousnadj, A., Chellali, R., Khan, H., & Iqbal, J. (2014, October). Robotized task time scheduling and optimization based on Genetic Algorithms for non redundant industrial manipulators. Presented at 2014 IEEE International Symposium on Robotic and Sensors Environments (ROSE), Timisoara, Romania

Industrial robot manipulators must work as fast as possible in order to increase the productivity. This goal could be achieved by increasing robots speed or/and optimizing the trajectories followed by robots while performing assembly, welding or simi...

A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paige, R. F., Kolovos, D. S., & Polack, F. A. A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers

A metamodel has been defined as: a model of a model; a definition of a language; a description of abstract syntax; and a description of a domain. Because of these varied definitions, it is difficult to explain why metamodels are constructed, what can... Read More about A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers.
