The purpose of the paper is to perform bid mark-up optimisation through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and a metric of the selected bid mark-up's derived entropy. The scope is to provide an alternative, ...

This paper is concerned with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel capacity, when the probability distribution of the channel matrix p(H) is not completely known to the transmitter and the receiver. The ...

A method is presented for allocating resources to construction activities and for scheduling construction projects under resource constraints by considering the effects that such resource limitations may have on the tendency ...

A general holistic theory is presented for the organization of complex networks. The theory proposes that complex networks, both human-engineered and naturally evolved, are organized to meet certain design or survival ...

A method is presented for resource allocation and scheduling of resource-constrained projects by use of a measure of the projects' entropy. The entropy, as a measure of the degree of disorder in a system, is an indicator ...

The work presented herein addresses the problem of sensor placement optimization in urban water distribution networks by use of an entropy-based approach, for the purpose of efficient and economically viable waterloss ...

In this paper, we propose a test of fit based on maximum entropy. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic is established and a corrected form for small and medium sample sizes is furnished. The performance ...

Relative entropy has been employed, as an alternative to other regularization methods, in solving ill-conditioned linear inverse problems. Damage detection when treated as structural modification imparted by the damage ...
