Flight - Gate assignment problems are complex real world problems involving different constraints. Some of these constraints include plane-gate eligibility, assigning planes of the same airline and planes getting service from the same ground handling companies to adjacent gates, buffers for changes in flight schedules, night stand flights, priority of some gates over others, and so on. In literature there are models to solve this highly complicated problem and tackle its complexity. In this study, we propose two different Integer programming (IP) models, namely, timetabling and assignment based models to solve the problem to optimality. These models prove to be highly efficient in that the computational times are quite short. We also provide the results for one day operation of an airport using real world data. Although, the research is still in progress, in the final section we present our conclusions based on our study done so far.

Understanding traffic scene images taken from vehicle mounted cameras provides important information for high level tasks such as autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance. The problem is hard due to challenges from weather and illumination variation. To facilitate the research against such challenges, in this paper we present a new benchmark for cross-weather traffic scene understanding. The dataset consists of 1,356 traffic scene images collected at 226 different locations. For each location, there are six images taken by a vehicle mounted camera under different weather/illumination conditions including sunny day, night, snowy day, rainy night and cloudy days. We manually annotated each image with scene understanding labels such as road, sky, building, etc. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first carefully collected benchmark for cross-weather traffic scenes. In addition, we also provide results from two popular scene parsing systems as the baselines. We expect the benchmark to help boost research in improving robustness of traffic scene understanding algorithms.

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) may lead to life threatening arrhythmia due to denervation of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of autonomic nervous system innervating the heart. CAN is a frequently under diagnosed complication of diabetes, because a patient can have asymptomatic CAN for several years before it is clinically apparent. However, detection of CAN at the early or subclinical stage leads to more effective treatment outcomes. Cardiac autonomic reflex tests (CART) (i.e. Ewing test battery) are normally used for the detection and staging of CAN. These tests have limitations with the necessity of active participation of the patients for test maneuvers, as a majority of patients will not be able to complete all five tests required due to comorbidities such as frailty, obesity or cardiorespiratory disease. CAN affects both heart rate (measured by RR interval dynamics) and ventricular repolarization function (i.e. QT interval dynamics) of the heart, which can be efficiently analyzed from surface ECG. Therefore, ECG based diagnosis techniques of CAN analysis are becoming popular as they can reduce the limitations of CARTs used traditionally for CAN detection and it complements CART results. In this study, the performance of an ECG based QTV feature derived using a model free approach, which can quantify the QTV component not affected directly by the heart rate (HR) variation, is compared with some other measures of QTV and HRV in subclinical CAN detection in diabetes. Short-term ECGs (i.e. 5 min long) of 60 diabetic subjects without CAN and 50 diabetic subjects detected with early level of CAN determined by CART were analyzed. The proposed measure for quantifying the QTV component independent of HR denoted as QTV~RR stands out to be more discriminatory than other existing variability measures of QTV and HRV in subclinical detection of CAN.

The automatic analysis of Heart Rate Variability in records of ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG) requires the detection of irregular heartbeats which cannot be included in the ansalysis. This article presents a novel approach for detecting irregular beats using tensors and Support Vector Machines. After signal filtering, for each record of the database a third order tensor was constructed. Next, a rank-3 Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) was applied. CPD yields three loading matrices corresponding to the modes space (channel), time course and heartbeats respectively. The heartbeat mode matrix was used as the input of a linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The SVM was trained for classifying between irregular and normal heartbeats. The training set was randomly selected from the 2% of the patterns in each record. The classifiers show a global accuracy of 97.2%. The results suggest that this approach is a promising method for detecting irregular heartbeats.

In this paper, we present two mathematical model formulations for cell loading and family scheduling problem with individual due dates to minimize maximum tardiness. The problem and an initial model formulation along with a genetic algorithm were presented in a recent paper where sequence independent setup times between jobs of different families were assumed. In this study, first, we develop a tighter model formulation for the same problem. Then, we extend the tighter model formulation to manufacturing cells in which sequence dependent setup times exist. We also provide numerical examples to demonstrate application of the model formulations.
In this paper, we consider the problem of distributed estimation of node-specific signals in a fully-connected wireless sensor network with multi-sensor nodes. The estimation relies on a data-driven design of a spatia...

Motivated by the importance of customer buying behaviour (such as correlation among product attributes/features of products configured in the past) in planning future configurations, this paper addresses the issue that product evolution (upgrades) usually render information gathered from past buying behaviour at least partially unusable. For instance, relations among features might have been changed, thus making it difficult to configure the same products again. The proposed approach aims to (1) find associations between product attributes based on the analysis of prior customer orders (2) apply configuration rules to prune attribute association rules which are not controlled by customers, and (3) check whether derived attribute association rules from past orders also work for the new upgraded product. Attribute associations consistent with the upgraded product are then used to predict configurations for production planning. We use machine learning algorithms and optimization techniques to address these issues.
