Integrating and synchronizing the effects of functional components is an important military principle. This is true across all types of military operations. Currently, functional component planning is often separated into ...
In this thesis we investigate the maximal layers of random partial orders. Main contributions
are two-fold. In the first half we investigate the expected size of different maximal
layers of a random partial order. In ...
A goal of an agile organization is the ability to adapt its structure to constantly
changing operating environments so it can provide the multiple capabilities that enable
mission accomplishment. A challenge for the ...
Swarms of autonomous agents, through their decentralized and robust nature, show
great promise as a future solution to the myriad missions of business, military, and humanitarian relief. Swarms can be useful purely as a ...
This dissertation presents an investigation on the use of satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) in a hydrologic model to estimate water quality indicators in stream simulations. Three SPPs based on different retrieval ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
