To evaluate the surveillance performance of a control chart with charting statistic sum log likelihood ratios in statistical process (SPC), this paper, we give proof procedure based on Markov chains for asymptotic estimation average run length (ARL) kind chart. The out-of-control ARL 1 </msub...

This paper presents a new in-place pseudo linear radix sorting algorithm. The proposed algorithm, called MSL (Map Shuffle Loop) is an improvement over ARL (Maus, 2002). The ARL algorithm uses an in-place permutation loop of linear complexity in terms of input size. MSL uses a faster permutation loop searching for the next element to permute group by group, instead of element by element. The alg...

As part of the Face Recognition Technology (FERET) program, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) conducted supervised government tests and evaluations of automatic face recognition algorithms. The goal of the tests was to provide an independent method of evaluating algorithms and assessing the state of the art in automatic face recognition. This report describes the design and presents the r...

Real-time delivery of products in the context of stochastic demands and multiple vehicles is a difficult problem, as it requires the joint investigation of the problems in inventory control and vehicle routing. We model this problem in the framework of Average-reward Reinforcement Learning (ARL) and present experimental results on a modelbased ARL algorithm called H-Learning with piecewise line...

Surveillance can be based, in some change-point detection problems, on a sequence of invariant statistics. Gordon and Pollak (1997) prove that, under certain conditions, the Average Run Length (ARL) to false alarm of invariance-based Shiryayev-Roberts detection schemes is asymptotically the same as that of the dual classical scheme that is based on the original sequence of observations. In this...

Software engineering development is crucial for industrial and commercial applications as these systems are required to operate in increasingly complex, distributed, open, dynamic, unpredictable, and inherently highly interactive environments. This work is being motivated by the need to engineer complex systems with autonomous entities, to manage their inherent complexity during analysis, desig...

To study the design, control and energetics of autonomous dynamically stable legged machines we have built a planar one-legged robot, the ARL Monopod. Its top running speed of 4.3 km/h (1.2 m/s) makes it the fastest electrically actuated legged robot to date. We adapted Raibert's control laws for the low power electric actuation necessary for autonomous locomotion and performed a detailed energ...
