Buildings consume 60% of global electricity. However, current building management systems (BMSs) are highly expensive and difficult to justify for small to medium-sized buildings. As such, the Internet of Things (IoT), which can monitor and…
Pattern matching design verification has gained noticeable attention in semiconductor technologies as it can precisely identify more localized problematic areas (weakpoints) in the layout. To address these weakpoints, engineers adopt…
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the state of the art systems for image classification and scene understating. However, such techniques are computationally intensive and involve highly regular parallel computation. CNNs can…
As compared to DRC rules, DFM rules are a list of selected recommended rules which aim to improve the design margins for better manufacturability. In GLOBALFOUNDRIES, we use DFM scoring methodology as an effective technique to analyze…
While standard cell layouts are drawn with minimum design rules for maximum benefit of design area shrinkage, the complicated design rules begin to cause difficulties with signal routes accessing the pins in standard cell layouts. Multiple…
This thesis considers the problem of scheduling autonomous vehicles at intersections. A new system is proposed which is more efficient and could replace the recently introduced Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM) model. The proposed…
Theories for visually guided action account for online control in the presence of reliable sources of visual information, and predictive control to compensate for visuomotor delay and temporary occlusion. In this study, we characterize the…
The concept of "logical depth" introduced by Charles H. Bennett (1988) seems to capture, at least partially, the notion of organized complexity, so central in big history. More precisely, the increase in organized complexity refers here to…
Phase unwrapping is a key problem in many coherent imaging systems, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry. A general formulation for redundant integration of finite differences for phase unwrapping (Costantini et al., 2010)…
DEVS is a popular formalism for modelling complex dynamic systems using a discrete-event abstraction. At this abstraction level, a timed sequence ofpertinent "events" input to a system (or internal, in the case of timeouts) cause…
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are recently employed in enterprise servers and high-end storage systems in order to enhance performance of storage subsystem. Although employing high speed SSDs in the storage subsystems can significantly improve…
Big Data-driven transportation engineering has the potential to improve utilization of road infrastructure, decrease traffic fatalities, improve fuel consumption, decrease construction worker injuries, among others. Despite these benefits,…
In biology, there are several questions that translate to combinatorial search. For example, vesicle traffic systems that move cargo within eukaryotic cells have been proposed to exhibit several graph properties such as three connectivity.…
This study focuses on the design of multiple Arabic diacritical marks and to developing a model that generates the stacking of multiples Arabic diacritics in order to integrate it into a system of Arabic composition. The problem concerns…
The connected allograph representing calligraphic Arabic word does not appear individually in any calligraphic resource but in association with other letters all adapted to each other. The graphic segmentation of the word by respecting…
Player selection is one the most important tasks for any sport and cricket is no exception. The performance of the players depends on various factors such as the opposition team, the venue, his current form etc. The team management, the…
Evacuation is one of the main disaster management solutions to reduce the impact of man-made and natural threats on building occupants. To date, several modern technologies and gamification concepts, e.g. immersive virtual reality and…
Thermoelectric generation (TEG) has increasingly drawn attention for being environmentally friendly. A few researches have focused on improving TEG efficiency at the system level on vehicle radiators. The most recent reconfiguration…
When considering simulation-based verification of processors, the current trend is to generate stimuli using pseudorandom generators (PRGs), apply them to the processor inputs and monitor the achieved coverage of its functionality in order…
In error-tolerant applications, approximate adders have been exploited extensively to achieve energy efficient system designs. Mean error distance is one of the important error metrics used as a performance measure of approximate adders. In…
