Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”

A 4D imaging radar SLAM system for large-scale environments based on pose graph optimization by Zhuge, Huayang

“…This work proposes a full system for 4D Radar SLAM consisting of three modules: 1) Front-end module performs scan-to-scan matching to calculate the odometry based on GICP, considering the probability distribution of each point; 2) Loop detection utilizes multiple rule-based loop pre-filtering steps, followed by an intensity scan context step to identify loop candidates, and odometry check to reject false loop; 3) Back-end builds a pose graph using front-end odometry, loop closure, and optional GPS data. …”

Boundary element methods for axisymmetric heat conduction and thermoelastic deformations in nonhomogeneous solids by Yun, Bao Ing

“…Unlike the real boundary element approach for axisymmetric problems, the complex variable approach does not require the evaluation of complicated fundamental solutions involving elliptic integrals. To check the validity of all the boundary element procedures, they are applied to solve specific problems with known analytical solutions. …”
