Analysis and Design of Scalable Blockchain-based Smart Contract System for Smart Grid Monitoring and Control
DownloadFall 2022
Energy systems are undergoing rapid changes to adapt to both increasing demand and growing penetration of embedded renewable generation. The Smart Grid, which integrates information and communication technologies into the grid infrastructure, is one possible solution to both needs. However, if...

Spring 2013
Increasing demand for bandwidth-hungry applications, along with the bandwidth scarcity has generated a certain momentum toward designing bandwidth-efficient techniques. Recently, multi-way relay channels (MWRCs) have been proposed to improve the spectral efficiency in wireless systems. The main...

Fall 2012
Sampled-data control theory is the mathematical foundation required for the analysis and design of sampled-data systems. An important assumption in the development of conventional sampled-data control theory is that measurement sampling periods are uniform. However, with the widespread use of...

Fall 2011
Integrated photonics have received much attention in recent years as there is a concerted effort towards achieving Very-Large-Scale-Integration of optical components. One of the key elements enabling such dense integration is the optical microring resonator, which has found pervasive applications...

Spring 2014
Time domain reflectometry has been used for fluid level measurement and characterization since the 1960's, however, there is little research present in the literature to improve the measurements by using alternate probe designs. Numerical analysis of a dielectric loaded circular waveguide probe...

Fall 2013
Cognitive radio is one of the most promising technologies to address the spectrum scarcity problem. Cognitive radio requires spectrum sensing, which is used by unlicensed users to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum. Spectrum sensing using energy detection offers low-cost and...

Analysis of Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms in Automated Test Pattern Generation for Sequential Circuits
DownloadSpring 2017
In automated test pattern generation (ATPG), test patterns are automatically generated and tested against all specific modeled faults, such as stuck-at fault, which is most commonly used in fault modeling. Testing of sequential circuits can be performed exhaustively, randomly or algorithmically....
