From a national defense, as well as a civilian infrastructure perspective, a need exists to design and develop systems resilient to disruption. Systems able to survive and recover from disruption are referred to as resilient. ...
Models, created using different modeling techniques, usually serve different purposes and provide unique insights. While each modeling technique might be capable of answering specific questions, complex problems require ...
The scarcity of radio spectrum poses a significant challenge to the sustained growth
of wireless communications, since most of the useful radio spectrum is already allocated
for licensed users. However, recent spectrum ...
Many software development projects fail completely or partially because they do not deliver much business benefit, that is, the return on the investment in the software is either zero or not enough to justify the investment. ...
This dissertation describes the non-destructive optical characterization of
undoped/doped GaN and SiC bulk crystals and epitaxial layers. These materials have
applications for optoelectronic devices that are operational ...
This dissertation develops efficient algorithms, in theory and in implementation, for selecting, via simulation, the best design, or system, from a set of designs, where “best” is the design with the smallest probability ...
Internet of things (IoT) is being developed for a wide range of applications from home
automation and personal fitness, to smart cities. With the extensive growth in adaptation of
IoT devices, comes the uncoordinated and ...
Too often in the real world information from multiple sources such as humans, experts, agents, or classifiers need to be integrated to provide support for a decision making system. One popular approach in machine learning ...
Current military forces are developing, purchasing, and fielding tactical wideband radios capable of connecting wirelessly to each other to form a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), an autonomous communications system where ...
For decades transportation legislation actions have demonstrated the desire to plan, design and operate multi-modal surface transportation systems (National Complete Streets Coalition [NCSC], 2009). The push for multi-modal ...
Wireless Multi-hop networks are expected to become an integral part of the future mobile communications. These networks are highly scalable, self-organizing, dynamic, and share spectrum with others while operating in highly ...
Sonomyography is an emerging technique that uses ultrasound to detect muscle
deformation and is being explored as a real-time alternative to surface electromyography
for deriving control signals from functional activity. ...
Recently cooperative communications has gained considerable attention in research due to multi-path fading mitigation ability through spatial diversity while providing flexibility. In cooperative communication protocols, ...
Currently, the process of deploying machine learning models in production can leak
information about the model such as model parameters. This leakage of information is
problematic because it opens the door to a plethora ...
Analysis and recreation of brain dynamics has been identified as one of the greatest scientific challenge of this century. Detection of electrical impulses in the brain was the first step towards understanding how it ...
A consistent challenge to the widespread use public key cryptosystems, such as
RSA, is the computational difficulty of performing arithmetic operations with large
operands. There are many branches of mathematics and ...
RF localization has gained prominence because of its potential for supporting various
position based applications. Passive RF Localization based on Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) uses the strength of received ...
Path planning aims at navigating a robot from an initial configuration to a goal configuration without violating various constraints. The problem of path planning is theoretically intractable (PSPACE hard), but in everyday ...
Pattern-based design, the use of design pattern during the design process, has become
widely used in the object-oriented community because of the reuse benefits that take less
cost and effort, but result in high quality ...
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed sensor nodes which
monitors environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, sound or pressure, etc.
Recently there is increasing need to design ...
