Breast microwave sensing (BMS) systems offer a low-cost and efficient alternative to current reast cancer screening methods. However, reported performance varies widely due to differences in system configuration, antenna design, measurement protocols, and image reconstruction techniques. This study evaluates the impact of antenna design on key image quality metrics using a controlled experimental platform. Spatial…

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) poses the VNF placement problem under multiple, potentially conflicting objectives, such as Quality of Service (QoS), costs, and resource efficiency. This work treats VNF placement as a many-objective optimization problem (MaOP) and presents two primary contributions: (i) a correlation analysis of state-of-the-art objectives to reduce dimensionality while maintaining representativeness, resulting in…

With the development of deep learning, time-series-related tasks have been increasingly applied across various fields. However, time-series data used in the medical and semiconductor industries are often different from those in daily life, with high sampling frequencies and very long sequence lengths, and collecting such data is usually very challenging. Therefore, data augmentation is a…
