Developing a framework for calculating LCA normalization factors for the State of Qatar
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for assessing the environmental impact of materials, systems and processes used in building construction. With its ability to clarify the ambiguities of the ...
Condition assessment of sewer pipelines using multi attribute utility theory (MAUT)
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Many municipalities rely on the interpretation of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection reports to arrive to a condition assessment grade for the inspected sewer pipelines. The grades stand as a key for decision ...
Real-time robotic avatar control using fuzzy gaze-classification for people with disability
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Robotic control with gaze-classification has been an area of interest for quite some time. In this paper, a novel solution of implementing sensing system with intelligent visualization has been presented. Such a system can ...
Sewer Inspection Prioritization Using a Defect-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to successfully implement an asset management program, an accurate and reliable deterioration model for assets should be available. Deterioration models are considered as the basis for predicting and prioritizing ...
An IV-SVM-based approach for identification of state-space LPV models under generic noise conditions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a nonparametric identification method for state-space linear parameter-varying (LPV) models using a modified support vector machine (SVM) approach. While most LPV identification schemes in the state-space ...
Cloud of things for sensing as a service: sensing resource discovery and virtualization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
We propose Cloud of Things for Sensing as a Service: a global architecture that scales up cloud computing by exploiting the global sensing resources of the highly dynamic and growing Internet of Things (IoT) to enable ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
