Vehicle Routing Problems for Drone Delivery

Kevin Dorling, Jordan Heinrichs, Geoffrey G. Messier et al. · 14 Jul 2016

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, have the potential to significantly reduce the cost and time of making last-mile deliveries and responding to emergencies. Despite this potential, little work has gone into developing vehicle routing problems (VRPs) specifically for drone delivery scenarios. Existing VRPs are insufficient for planning drone deliveries: either multiple trips to the depot…

Blockchain-Enabled Smart Contracts: Architecture, Applications, and Future Trends

Shuai Wang, Liwei Ouyang, Yong Yuan et al. · 15 Feb 2019

In recent years, the rapid development of cryptocurrencies and their underlying blockchain technology has revived Szabo’s original idea of smart contracts, i.e., computer protocols that are designed to automatically facilitate, verify, and enforce the negotiation and implementation of digital contracts without central authorities. Smart contracts can find a wide spectrum of potential application scenarios in…

A New Deep Transfer Learning Based on Sparse Auto-Encoder for Fault Diagnosis

Long Wen, Liang Gao, Xinyu Li · 4 Oct 2017

Fault diagnosis plays an important role in modern industry. With the development of smart manufacturing, the data-driven fault diagnosis becomes hot. However, traditional methods have two shortcomings: 1) their performances depend on the good design of handcrafted features of data, but it is difficult to predesign these features and 2) they work well under a…

Modeling User Activity Preference by Leveraging User Spatial Temporal Characteristics in LBSNs

Dingqi Yang, Daqing Zhang, Vincent W. Zheng et al. · 26 Jun 2014

With the recent surge of location based social networks (LBSNs), activity data of millions of users has become attainable. This data contains not only spatial and temporal stamps of user activity, but also its semantic information. LBSNs can help to understand mobile users' spatial temporal activity preference (STAP), which can enable a wide range of…

Adaptive Neural Impedance Control of a Robotic Manipulator With Input Saturation

Wei He, Yiting Dong, Changyin Sun · 3 Jun 2015

In this paper, adaptive impedance control is developed for an n-link robotic manipulator with input saturation by employing neural networks. Both uncertainties and input saturation are considered in the tracking control design. In order to approximate the system uncertainties, we introduce a radial basis function neural network controller, and the input saturation is handled by…

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
