A comparative study of map building techniques by processing sonar arc-maps
(2005)
In this study, four signal processing schemes regarding sonar sensor based map-building applications were compared. The newly proposed method, Directional Maximum is found to be successful in terms of reducing the innate ...
Bluetooth or 802.15.4 technologies to optimise lifetime of wireless sensor networks: Numerical comparison under a common framework
(IEEE, 2008-04)
This paper aims at comparing through simulations the network lifetime of a wireless sensor network using Bluetooth-enabled or IEEE802.15.4 compliant devices. The evaluation is performed under a common reference framework, ...
Distance laboratory applications ERRL: A study on radio communication in electronic field
(IEEE, 2008-05)
In the last decade, the effect of internet usage in education is gradually increased. When we look from academic perspective, the new technologies provided alternatives for students learning. As distance education becomes ...
How to teach usage of equipments in a remote laboratory
(IEEE, 2007-09)
European Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) is an e-learning project for students, teachers and technicians of the universities who will use the very important devices of this laboratory remotely. These devices are very expensive ...
A beam search algorithm to optimize robustness under random machine breakdowns and processing time variability
(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2007)
The vast majority of the machine scheduling research assumes complete information about the scheduling problem and a static environment in which scheduling systems operate. In practice, however, scheduling systems are ...
Escaping local optima in a class of multi-agent distributed optimization problems: a boosting function approach
(IEEE, 2014)
We address the problem of multiple local optima commonly arising in optimization problems for multi-agent systems, where objective functions are nonlinear and nonconvex. For the class of coverage control problems, we propose ...
Design charts to maximize the gain-bandwidth product of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers
(IEEE, 2005)
In this work we define a performance measure for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUT) in the form of a gain-bandwidth product to investigate the conditions that optimize the gain and bandwidth with respect ...
Optimal sampling of multidimensional periodic band-limited signals
(IEEE, 2005)
In this paper, we present an algebraic description of the aliasing phenomena evident in the linear sampling process of multidimensional periodic band limited signals. Opposed to the classical Shannon sampling, periodic ...
A simulation based learning meachanism for scheduling systems with continuous control and update structure
(IEEE, 2005)
A simulation based learning mechanism is proposed in this study. The system learns in the manufacturing environment by constructing a learning tree and selects a dispatching rule from the tree for each scheduling period. ...
Camera-based virtual environment interaction on mobile devices
(Springer, 2006-11)
Mobile virtual environments, with real-time 3D and 2D graphics, are now possible on smart phone and other camera-enabled devices. Using computer vision, the camera sensor can be treated as an input modality in applications ...
