Concurrent association in heterogeneous networks with underlay D2D communication
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Deployment of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication within dense heterogeneous networks is a key solution in order to face the intense demand for high data rates and quality of the service in future 5G networks. However, ...
A service computing manifesto: The next 10 years
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2017 , Article Review)
Mapping out the challenges and strategies for the widespread adoption of service computing is an important task. Service computing is a key paradigm that offers cross-disciplinary computational abstractions, architectures, ...
Experimental analysis of double and triple glazed facades with different shading devices in Qatar
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The design of fully-glazed facades on buildings has become very popular, especially in hot regions where the use of natural ventilation is not recommended. The integration of shading devices to facade surfaces has been ...
Derivative-driven window-based regression method for gas turbine performance prognostics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The domination of gas turbines in the energy arena is facing many challenges from environmental regulations and the plethora of renewable energy sources. The gas turbine has to operate under demand-driven modes and its ...
Mixed EWMA-CUSUM and mixed CUSUM-EWMA modified control charts for monitoring first order autoregressive processes
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
In practice most processes are known to produce autocorrelated observations. Autocorrelation degrades the performance of control charts by producing frequent false alarms when the process is stable or makes the charts ...
Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
Generalized model of biological neural networks: Progressive operational perceptrons
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) were designed to simulate biological neural networks
Effectiveness of a pharmacist-delivered smoking cessation program in the State of Qatar: a randomized controlled trial
(
