Mathematical modeling of PCM cooling vest for workers in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) made of salt mixtures that melts at a specific temperature helps in maintaining the skin temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A dynamic thermal ...
Modelling and performance analysis of 3-D heterogeneous cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Cellular networks are usually described by two-dimensional (2-D) models. These models are appropriate for rural or suburban areas but are not suitable for dense urban environments, where a large number of heterogeneous ...
Fault-tolerant control of multi-agent systems based on adaptive fault hiding framework
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme for multi-agent systems subject to loss of effectiveness actuator faults is investigated. The main objective of the proposed FTC approach is to keep the performance of ...
Multi-objective scheduling of micro-services for optimal service function chains
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Lately application service providers (ASPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) are being confronted with the unprecedented challenge of accommodating increasing service and traffic demands from their geographically ...
Robust detection of acoustic partial discharge signals in noisy environments
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Partial discharge (PD) can be used to predict insulation failures in power transformers. Accurate detection of particular PD types has a significant role in anticipating forthcoming outages. However, the noise encountered ...
Distributed fault detection and isolation filter design for heterogeneous multi-agent LPV systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a new approach for the design of fault detection and isolation (FDI) filters for a class of linear parameter-varying (LPV) multi-agent systems, where the state-space representations of the agents ...
ConProve: A conceptual prover system
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
ConProve is an automated prover for propositional logic. It takes, as an input, a set of propositional formulas and proves whether a goal holds or not. ConProve converts each formula to its corresponding Truth Table Binary ...
Classification ensemble to improve medical named entity recognition
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
An accurate Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for knowledge discovery in text mining. This paper proposes an ensemble machine learning approach to recognise Named Entities (NEs) from unstructured and informal ...
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ...
An automatic time-frequency procedure for interference suppression by exploiting their geometrical features
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an adaptive method for interference suppression in the Wigner-Ville distribution. The structure of the artifacts in the Wigner-Ville distribution has been analyzed to optimally mask the signal Wigner-Ville ...
