The likelihood of Braess' paradox in traffic networks (2018)
Book Chapter

The well-known Braess' paradox illustrates situations when adding a new link to a traffic network might increase congestion in the network. In this article, we announce a number of new results devoted to the probability of Braess' paradox to occur in... Read More about The likelihood of Braess' paradox in traffic networks.

BIM solutions for construction lifecycle: A myth or a tangible future? (2018)
Book Chapter

A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction (2018)
Book Chapter

The rule induction process could be conceived as a search process,and hence an evaluation metric is needed to estimate the quality of rules found in the search space and to direct the search towards the best rule. The evaluation measure is the most... Read More about A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction.

Ontologies in Aeronautics (2018)
Book Chapter

Avionics systems are getting increasingly sophisticated, airspaces are densely occupied, and aircraft are desired to fly in more adverse weather conditions. These conditions increase the complexity of Air TrafficManagement (ATM) as aviators and airsp... Read More about Ontologies in Aeronautics.

Neural Network Approach to Solving Fully Fuzzy Nonlinear Systems (2018)
Book Chapter

The value of fuzzy designs improves whenever a system cannot be validated in precise mathematical terminologies. In this book chapter, two types of neural networks are applied to obtain the approximate solutions of the fully fuzzy nonlinear system (...

Engineering and society: Embedding active service learning in undergraduate curricula (2018)
Book Chapter

Undergraduate education incorporating active learning through education outreach presents a critical opportunity to influence future engineering teaching and practice capabilities. Engineering education outreach activities have been shown to have mul... Read More about Engineering and society: Embedding active service learning in undergraduate curricula.

Creep lifing models and techniques (2018)
Book Chapter

The deformation of structural alloys presents problems for power plants and aerospace applications due to the demand for elevated temperatures for higher efficiencies and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The materials used in such applications... Read More about Creep lifing models and techniques.

Anticipation in robotics (2018)
Book Chapter

In this chapter, we introduce anticipatory robotic systems. We show how intelligent robots can anticipate the future, by outlining two broad approaches: the first shows how robots can use anticipation to learn how to control their own bodies and the... Read More about Anticipation in robotics.

Energy and metabolism (2018)
Book Chapter

© Oxford University Press, 2018 and University of Tartu Press, 2012. Energy resulting from metabolism is essential for any living system-from single-cell to multicellular organisms. This also applies to symbiotic robots (SymBots), which function util... Read More about Energy and metabolism.

Could a Robot Care? It’s All in the Movement (2017)
Book Chapter

In this chapter, we ask if care robots can care. The standard and indeed intuitive response to such a question is no. This response is premised on the argument that care requires internal cognitive and emotional states that robots lack. We explore ar... Read More about Could a Robot Care? It’s All in the Movement.
