An innovative approach for rolling mill and forge scheduling based on modified COTS algorithms

This paper presents a scheduler built around a set of Commercial Off of the Shelf (COTS) functions where the overall complexity have been reduced by a set of pre-processing and post-processing functions. This approach offers many advantages compared to design-for purpose heuristics in term of time to market as well as in term of design and implementation costs

Toward Kansei Information Processing in music/dance interactive multimodal environments

Abstract. This paper gives an overview of research projects and of recently developed systems at our Lab on interactive multimodal environments. In particular, we focus on (i) movement and gesture analysis, mainly for non-symbolic, expressive data from human movement and gesture and their relation to music performance; (ii) machine communication to humans, supported by semi-autonomous mobile on-wheels robots technology: how a machine move in the environment can be a further communication channel with humans.
