Simulation of High Precision Process Control for Set-up Dominant Processes (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The main focus of this paper is to use discrete-event simulation models, to test the robustness of two process control methods against processes with different statistical distributions. The two methods under scrutiny are the Small-Batch Full-size im... Read More about Simulation of High Precision Process Control for Set-up Dominant Processes.

Demonstration of a Self-recovering ALU Using a Convergent Cellular Automata (2013)

The development of electrical control system faults leads to increased mechanical component degradation, severe reduction of asset performance, and a direct increase in annual maintenance costs. This paper presents a highly accurate data driven class... Read More about Classification and Detection of Electrical Control System Faults Through SCADA Data Analysis.

Exapting exaptation (2013)
Journal Article
Larson, G., Stephens, P., Tehrani, J., & Layton, R. (2013). Exapting exaptation. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 28(9), 497-498. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2013.05.018

The term exaptation was introduced to encourage biologists to consider alternatives to adaptation to explain the origins of traits. Here, we discuss why exaptation has proved more successful in technological than biological contexts, and propose a re... Read More about Exapting exaptation.
