Optimal packing of high-precision rectangles
The rectangle-packing problem consists of finding an enclosing rectangle of smallest area that can contain a given set of rectangles without overlap.

Hybrid qualitative simulation of military operations
We describe a novel simulator, SimPath, that combines qualitative reasoning, a geographic information system (GIS), and targeted probabilistic calculations to envision how adversarial battle plans can play out.

Online planning to control a packaging infeed system
In collaboration with a domain expert from the packaging industry, we developed an innovative design for a reconfigurable parallel infeed system using a matrix of interchangeable smart belts.

Ring optimal assignment of slot reservations for Cyclic TDMA Protocols
We present two algorithms to assign time slots to nodes in a TDMA network that minimize the jitter in time slot assignments or minimize the channel access latency for flows…

Constrained cepstral speaker recognition using matched UBM and JFA training
We study constrained speaker recognition systems, or systems that model standard cepstral features that fall within particular types of speech regions.

The Dynamics of the Urge-To-Smoke Following Smoking Cessation Via Pharmacotherapy
The associations of trajectory parameters with relapse were relatively uninfluenced by demographics and smoking history.
