A Fully-Distributed Heuristic Algorithm for Control of Autonomous Vehicle Movements at Isolated Intersections
(Elsevier, 2014)Optimizing autonomous vehicle movements through roadway intersections is a challenging problem. It has been demonstrated in the literature that traditional traffic control, such as traffic signal and stop sign control are ... -
Physical layer orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing acquisition and timing synchronization security
(Wiley, 2014-08-18)Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has become the manifest modulation choice for 4G standards. Timing acquisition and carrier frequency offset synchronization are prerequisite to OFDM demodulation and must ... -
Tailoring of surface plasmon resonances in TiN/(Al0.72Sc0.28)N multilayers by dielectric layer thickness variation
(Springer, 2017-11-28)Alternative designs of plasmonic metamaterials for applications in solar energy-harvesting devices are necessary due to pure noble metal-based nanostructures’ incompatibility with CMOS technology, limited thermal and ... -
Incoherent Digital Holography: A Review
(MDPI, 2018-01-20)Digital holography (DH) is a promising technique for modern three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Coherent holography records the complex amplitude of a 3D object holographically, giving speckle noise upon reconstruction and ... -
Performance Analysis of TaSiOx Inspired Sub-10 nm Energy Efficient In₀.₅₃Ga₀.₄₇As Quantum Well Tri-Gate Technology
(IEEE, 2017-10-24)In this paper, for the first time, the performance analysis of short channel In₀.₅₃Ga₀.₄₇As quantum well (QW) 3-D tri-gate technology with advanced high-κ gate dielectric, TaSiOx is presented. We benchmark the projected ... -
Growth, structural, and electrical properties of germanium-on-silicon heterostructure by molecular beam epitaxy
(American Insitute of Physics, 2017)The growth, morphological, and electrical properties of thin-film Ge grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si using a two-step growth process were investigated. High-resolution x-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated 0.10% ... -
LTE Spectrum Sharing Research Testbed: Integrated Hardware, Software, Network and Data
(ACM, 2017-10)This¹ paper presents Virginia Tech’s wireless testbed supporting research on long-term evolution (LTE) signaling and radio frequency (RF) spectrum coexistence. LTE is continuously refined and new features released. As the ... -
Electronic textiles for in situ biomechanical measurements
(Defense Technical Information Center, 2004)This paper describes the benefits of and issues in designing and building an integrated, body-worn electronic textile (e-textile) system capable of assessing a suite of biomechanical measures. Unlike laboratory based ... -
e-TAGs: e-Textile Attached Gadgets
(Society for Computer Simulation, 2004)The integration of wires and electronics into textiles (e-textiles) has many potential applications for wearable and pervasive computing. Textiles are an integral part of everyday life, from clothing we wear to the carpet ... -
Communications in Electronic Textile Systems
(2003)Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. ... -
An Architecture for Electronic Textiles
(ICST, 2008)This paper makes a case for a communication architecture for electronic textiles (e-textiles). The properties and re- quirements of e-textile garments are described and analyzed. Based on these properties, the authors make ... -
Extracting Behavioral Information from Electronic Storyboards
(ACM, 2014-06)In this paper we outline methods for extracting behavioral descriptions of interactive prototypes from electronic storyboards. This information is used to help interdisciplinary design teams evaluate potential ideas early ... -
Modeling and Simulating Electronic Textile Applications
(ACM, 2004-07-11)This paper describes our design of a simulation environment for electronic textiles (e-textiles) and our experiences with that environment. This simulation environment, based upon Ptolemy II, enables us to model a diverse ... -
Comparative Dimensions of Disciplinary Culture
(ASEE, 2015)Despite calls to promote creativity as “an indispensable quality for engineering” [1], the U.S. engineering educational system has been slow to develop pedagogies that successfully promote innovative behaviors. Engineers ... -
Medical Monitoring Applications for Wearable Computing
(The British Computer Society, 2004-04-01)Medical monitors have benefited from technological advances in the field of wireless communication, processing and power sources. These advances have made possible miniaturization and prolonged operating times of medical ... -
Application of Cybernetics and Control Theory for a New Paradigm in Cybersecurity
(Virginia Tech, 2013-11-01)A significant limitation of current cyber security research and techniques is its reactive and applied nature. This leads to a continuous ‘cyber cycle’ of attackers scanning networks, developing exploits and attacking ... -
Environmental Information Improves Robotic Search Performance
(Virginia Tech, 2016)We address the problem where a mobile search agent seeks to find an unknown number of stationary objects distributed in a bounded search domain, and the search mission is subject to time/distance constraint. Our work ... -
A Framework for Occupancy Tracking in a Building via Structural Dynamics Sensing of Footstep Vibrations
(Frontiers, 2017-11-06)Counting the number of occupants in building areas over time—occupancy tracking— provides valuable information for responding to emergencies, optimizing thermal conditions or managing personnel. This capability is distinct ... -
