Alternating offers protocols for multilateral negotiation
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)This paper presents a general framework for multilateral turn-taking protocols and two fully specified protocols namely Stacked Alternating Offers Protocol (SAOP) and Alternating Multiple Offers Protocol (AMOP). In SAOP, ... -
Analysis of speech-based measures for detecting and monitoring Alzheimer’s disease
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)Automatic diagnosis of the Alzheimer’s disease as well as monitoring of the diagnosed patients can make significant economic impact on societies. We investigated an automatic diagnosis approach through the use of speech ... -
Application of friction stir spot welding on additive manufactured carbon fiber composite
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2022)Friction stir spot welding as a solid state processing technique is used to join dissimilar and similar metals, composites and polymers. This study illustrates the implementation of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) on ... -
Approximations for constrained Markov decision problems
(Springer, 2018)This chapter studies the finite-state approximation of a discrete-time constrained Markov decision process with compact state space, under the discounted and average cost criteria. Using the linear programming formulation ... -
Approximations for partially observed Markov decision processes
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)This chapter studies the finite-model approximation of discrete-time partially observed Markov decision process. We will find that by performing the standard reduction method, where one transforms a partially observed model ... -
An architecture viewpoint for modeling dynamically configurable software systems
(Elsevier, 2017-01-01)Current software systems are rarely static and need to be able to change their topology and behavior to the changing context. To support the communication among stakeholders, guide the design decisions, and analyze the ... -
Asymptotic optimality of finite models for witsenhausen’s counterexample and beyond
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)In this chapter, we study the approximation of Witsenhausen’s counterexample and the Gaussian relay channel problem by using the results of the previous chapter. In particular, our goal is to establish that finite models ... -
Bacteria-based concrete
(Elsevier, 2018)Several strains of bacteria can induce the precipitation of calcium carbonate, if the appropriate conditions, sufficient nutrients and a calcium source are provided. The metabolic pathway that is followed by the bacterial ... -
Bio-derived rheology modifying agents for cement-based materials
(Springer, 2020)In recent few years, significant development has been made in concrete technology to accommodate the requirements of high-performance concrete. Rheology Modifying Agents (RMAs) (such as superplasticizers) and Viscosity ... -
Blood supply chain management and future research opportunities
(Springer, 2018)In this chapter, we discuss the challenges and research opportunities in the blood collection operations and explore the benefits of recent advances in the blood donation process. According to the regulations, donated blood ... -
Channel modeling for visible light communications
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2016)In this chapter, we present a novel and realistic channel modeling approach for visible light communications that overcomes to the limitations of previous works. In our work, we consider wavelength dependency, effect of ... -
Combined AES + AEGIS architectures for high performance and lightweight security applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2014)AES has been the prominent block cipher since its introduction as the standard. It has been the cipher used in almost all new applications that require solid, unbreakable security with reasonable resource usage. Several ... -
A complex adaptive system of systems approach to human–automation interaction in smart grid
(Wiley, 2015)This chapter expresses three cognitive genres: descriptive genre, normative/prescriptive genre, and know-how genre. The descriptive genre introduces and discusses on the following disciplines: the core concepts of complexity, ... -
Computational screening of MOFs for CO2 capture
(Springer, 2021-03-30)The capture of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is an urgent environmental issue due to global warming. Adsorption-based CO2 capture using a new family of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has been considered as a ... -
Contributions to humanitarian and non-profit operations: Equity impacts on modeling and solution approaches
Equity has been acknowledged as an important concern in designing and managing humanitarian and non-profit operations over the past decade. Given the significant demands for relief supplies created by a disaster and the ... -
Cooperative visible light communications
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2016)In this chapter, we explore the concept of cooperative transmissions in the context of visible light communications (VLC). An indoor office space is considered with two light sources; the one at the ceiling is connected ... -
A decomposition-based heuristic for a waste cooking oil collection problem
(Springer, 2020-01-01)Every year, a tremendous amount of waste cooking oil (WCO) is produced by households and commercial organizations, which poses a serious threat to the environment if disposed improperly. While businesses such as hotels and ... -
Demand-driven electricity supply options of electric vehicles: modelling, simulation, and management strategy of public charging stations
(Springer, 2021-10-13)In this chapter, we discuss the challenges and research opportunities in the demand-driven electricity supply options of electric vehicles (EVs) at public charging stations (CSs). EVs have gained increased attention in ... -
Design of bio-joint shaped knee exoskeleton assisting for walking and sit-to-stance
(Springer Nature, 2019)In this study, a bio-joint shaped knee joint exoskeleton is presented. This design is meant for avoiding misalignment of the exoskeleton joint with the biological knee joint. For this purpose a cam mechanism has been ... -
Design of energy-efficient white portland cement mortars for digital fabrication
(Springer, 2020)Additive manufacturing, i.e. three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has many advantages over traditional processes and the related technology is continuously improving. This study aims to develop an energy- efficient ...
