Most of real-time scheduling algorithms are open-loop algorithms as the scheduling decisions are based on the worst-case estimates of task parameters. They do not continuously observe the performance of the system and do not dynamically adjust the system parameters t o improve performance. In many cases, it is preferable to base scheduling decisions on average-case workload parameters and be re...

in this paper, we introduce λκ−closed sets and study its properties in generalized topological spaces.

abstracttask-based language teaching is considered an effective way to achieve a harmony between grammar and communication. the present study investigates two different ways of teaching modal verbs: task-based versus traditional approaches. to this purpose, an oxford placement test was administered to select 40 homogeneous participants out of a larger population who took this test. the selected...

wireless sensor networks(wsn) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

Urban environments are time consuming, labor intensive and possibly dangerous to safe guard. Accomplishing tasks like bomb detection, search-andrescue and reconnaissance with aerial robots could save resources. This paper describes a prototype called CQAR: Closed Quarter Aerial Robot, which is capable of flying in and around buildings. The prototype was analytically designed to fly safely and s...

The CoNLL-2012 shared task is an extension of the last year’s coreference task. We participated in the closed track of the shared tasks in both years. In this paper, we present the improvements of Illinois-Coref system from last year. We focus on improving mention detection and pronoun coreference resolution, and present a new learning protocol. These new strategies boost the performance of the...
