Research-based learning in computing courses for senior engineering students
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports on the experience and lessons learned from introducing a constructivist inquiry-based learning (IBL) in advanced computing courses. The paper describes an iterative problem-centric process and gives ...
SINR analysis for beamforming OFDM systems under joint transmit-receive I/Q imbalance
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the subcarrier average SINR of a beamforming OFDM system in the presence of joint transmit-receive I/Q imbalance. The derived expression quantifies the impact of the ...
Security oriented service composition: A framework
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper argues that in order to address the challenges of security compatibility checking between the client's software and the service software in a service oriented software environment, the followings have to be ...
Magnetic gearbox with an electric power output port and fixed speed ratio for wind energy applications
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generator-based wind turbines. The main drawback of this solution is the gearbox's reliability and maintenance. Using magnetic gearbox in conjunction ...
Systems engineering design of engineering education: A case of an embedded systems course
(
IEEE Education Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Systems and Cybernetics can be found elsewhere in natural and engineering sciences. Control systems methods (technical cybernetics) are the nerve of the industrial revolution; they have recently penetrated some social ...
Meta-heuristics for aircraft arrival and departure scheduling on multiple runways
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The problem of scheduling aircrafts on multiple runways can be modeled as an identical parallel machine scheduling with release times, target times and deadlines. To schedule arriving and departing aircrafts as close as ...
Efficient alignment of next generation sequencing data using MapReduce on the cloud
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a methodology for running NGS read mapping tools in the cloud environment based on the MapReduce programming paradigm. As a demonstration, the recently developed and robust sequence alignment tool, ...
Heuristic algorithms for aircraft sequencing problem
(2012 , Conference Paper)
Delays in flights resulting in multi-billion-dollar losses are declared annually worldwide. Hence, an identification of air traffic policies that can reduce frequent and costly inefficiencies is needed. The problem of ...
Development and evaluation of open educational resources for enhancing engineering students' learning experience
(
IEEE Education Society
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
The aim of this paper is to report on the development of control systems open educational resources. The paper reports on two control systems education software: 1) A LabVIEW based Control Systems Analysis Toolkit (CSAT) ...
Constraint-enhanced role engineering via answer set programming
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
Role engineering (RE) aims to develop and maintain appropriate role-based access control (RBAC) configurations. However, RE with constraints in place is not well-studied. Constraints usually describe organizations' security ...
