Anti-spoofing device for biometric fingerprint scanners
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Biometrics is a promising technology for safeguarding the personal identity and digital information of every individual. This paper describes an easy-to-integrate and inexpensive method to improve the security of fingerprint ...
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 ...
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 ...
Potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae for carbon dioxide bio-fixation and advanced wastewater treatment
(
AIChE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The potential use of mixed indigenous microalgae (MIMA) as a CO2 capturing technology and treatment process for wastewaters was evaluated at two temperatures ( 25 and 30 C) and different CO2 dosage ( 0%, 5% and 15%). During ...
On the secure degrees of freedom of the K user MIMO MAC with statistical CSI
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We investigate the secure degrees of freedom (SDoF) of the K-user MIMO multiple access channel (MAC) in the vicinity of an eavesdropper which is trying to decode the messages sent by the transmitters. The eavesdropper is ...
A need for functionally graded stiffness femoral stem for reduction in stress shielding and promoting bone growth: Computational analysis
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that is available to reduce pain and restore the functionality of hip joints. THA has been successfully implemented for the last 40 years. However, after more than ...
Stochastic model predictive control for LPV systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper considers a stochastic model predictive control of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems described by affine parameter dependent state-space representations with additive stochastic uncertainties and probabilistic ...
