Recent years have seen significant research in finding closed form expressions for the delay of the RLC interconnect which improves upon the Elmore delay model. However, several of these formulae assume a step excitation. But in practice, the input waveform does have a non zero time of flight. There are few works reported so far which do consider the ramp inputs but lacks in the explicit nature...

Random testing (RT) is a fundamental testing technique to assess software reliability, by simply selecting test cases in a random manner from the whole input domain. As an enhancement of RT, adaptive random testing (ART) has better failure-detection capability and has been widely applied in different scenarios, such as numerical programs, some object-oriented programs, and mobile applications. ...

Supervised classification systems used for land cover mapping require accurate reference databases. These reference data come generally from different sources such as field measurements, thematic maps, or aerial photographs. Due to misregistration, update delay, or land cover complexity, they may contain class label noise, i.e., a wrong label assignment. This study aims at evaluating the impact...
