...constrained by the solder alloy, as it is more susceptible to electromigration than the copper used for the pads and wires. Hence, interconnects formed by copper only mitigate the electromigration risk and/or allow to increase the current limit of the all-copper interconnect. In this work, two methods to form...
...solution for the Timetabling / Engine Scheduling Problem. When solving the Crew Scheduling Problem, we then exploit the fact that numerous optimal, and near optimal solutions exist for the previous problem. We consider all these solutions that can be obtained from the optimal engine schedule by shifting...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing how industrial and consumer markets are developing. Robotic devices, drones and autonomous vehicles, blockchains, augmented and virtual reality, digital assistants and machine learning (artificial intelligence or AI) are the technologies that will provide ...
In this work, an experimental study was carried out with the aim of reconciling static and dynamic stiffness of Opalinus Clay. The static and dynamic stiffness of core plugs from a shaly and a sandy facies of Opalinus Clay were characterized at two different stress states. The measurements included undrained...
...representations targeting design and simulation for Additive Manufacturing (AM) are addressed from the perspective of Computer Aided Geometric Design. We discuss the feasibility for multi-material AM for B-rep based CAD, STL, sculptured triangles as well as trimmed and block-structured trivariate locally...
...disastrous consequences on data privacy and security. The lack of technical solutions to enforce strong privacy and security guarantees leaves the data markets’ stakeholders (e.g., buyers and sellers of data) vulnerable when they transact data. Smart Contracts and Multi-Party Computation represent examples...
The concept and vision of Industry 4.0 has been around for almost a decade and gain a lot of momentum and attraction globally. Central to the vision of Industry 4.0 is the concept of a “Cyber-Physical system”, linking the IT elements of an enterprise (Cyber) with the physical system (man and machine) of...
