Towards energy efficient and quality of service aware cell zooming in 5G wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an energy efficient and quality of service aware dynamic cell zooming algorithm for dense heterogeneous networks. The exponential growth of mobile data traffic would lead to dense deployment of small ...
Culture as a driver for the design of social robots for Autism spectrum disorder interventions in the Middle East
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we discuss the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Gulf region. We examine the importance of providing state-of-the-art ASD interventions, and highlight social robots as therapeutic tools ...
Dynamic users assignment and bandwidth allocation for energy efficient hybrid powered communication systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we aim to encourage the use of renewable power in communication systems through hybrid powering. The problem consists of optimizing the resource allocation problem using the hybrid powering from renewable ...
Robust Resource Investment Problem with Time-Dependent Resource Cost and Tardiness Penalty
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the classical Resource Investment Problem (RIP) is extended to consider time-depended resource cost instead of time-independent resource cost. The problem is named as the Resource Investment Problem with ...
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
(
Australian Geomechanics Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ...
ArabicWeb16: A new crawl for today's Arabic Web
(
Association for Computing Machinery, Inc
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Web crawls provide valuable snapshots of the Web which enable a wide variety of research, be it distributional analysis to characterize Web properties or use of language, content analysis in social science, or Information ...
An environmental burden shifting approach to re-evaluate the environmental impacts of products
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) can help enterprises evaluate their product's environmental impacts through the entire product life cycle (PLC). On the basis of the evaluation result, phases which need to take activities to ...
Optimal control of a non-isothermal catalytic packed-bed reactor model
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work deals with the linear-quadratic control problem for a non-isothermal packed-bed catalytic reactor, which is described by coupled hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations model. The classical Riccati ...
Support peer assessment processes in online problem-based learning
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is proposed as one of the most well-known alternatives to traditional lectures in modeling engineering graduates to become independent workers, critical thinkers, problem solver, lifelong ...
PEAM: A polymorphic, energy-aware MAC protocol for WBAN
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In remote healthcare monitoring and care delivery, obtaining the right information at the right time is critical. For these systems, designing an efficient MAC protocol that is able to meet the challenges on network quality ...
