  • On inert tracer modeling in a compound open channel 
    Chatila, Jean G.; Townsend, Ron D. (2017-04-26)
    This study investigates the impact on the pollutant transport and mixing processes of strong lateral momentum transfer effects associated with severely compound flow fields. Consideration was limited to conservative, ...
  • On Leveraging the Computational Potential of Fog-Enabled Vehicular Networks 
    Sorkhoh, Ibrahim; Ebrahimi, Dariush; Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Assi, Chadi (ACM, 2019-12-10)
    The advent of autonomous vehicles demands powerful processing capabilities of on-board units to handle the dramatic increase of sensor data used to make safe self-driving decisions. Those com- putational resources, being ...
  • On Network Planning for Video Services Over IP Networks 
    Sharafeddine, S. (2016-03-02)
    Video transmission over IP requires very high data rate for a good performance. Variable bit rate (VBR)-coded video is more popular than constant bit rate (CBR)-coded video due to its statistical multiplexing gain and ...
  • On Power-Constrained System-on-chip Test Scheduling Using Precedence Relationships 
    Harmanani, Haidar M.; Salamy, Hassan A. (IEEE, 2017-03-29)
    This paper presents an efficient method to determine minimum SOC test schedules based on simulated annealing. The problem is solved using a partitioned testing scheme with run to completion that minimizes the number of ...
  • On scalable parallel recursive backtracking 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Daudjee, Khuzaima; Mouawad, Amer E.; Nishimura, Naomi (2015-12-07)
    Supercomputers are equipped with an increasingly large number of cores to use computational power as a way of solving problems that are otherwise intractable. Unfortunately, getting serial algorithms to run in parallel to ...
  • On sensor selection in mobile devices based on energy, application accuracy, and context metrics 
    Taleb, Sireen; Abbas, Nadine; Hajj, Hazem; Dawy, Zaher (IEEE, 2022-11-25)
    Continuously collecting sensor data on mobile devices helps in capturing important contextual information related to the user location, activity, and surrounding environment. This contextual information is required by ...
  • On Single Source Reachability Improvement 
    Alkak, Hashem (Lebanese American University, 2023-02-02)
    The problem of augmenting a given network, or graph, via edge-additions for improved reachability from a given source node is considered. We formulate and study the following Single Source Reachability Improvement problem ...
  • On Space–Time Coding With Pulse Position and Amplitude Modulations for Time-Hopping Ultra-Wideband Systems 
    Abou-Rjeily, Chadi; Belfiore, Jean-Claude (2016-02-16)
    In this work, we propose novel families of space-time (ST) block codes that can be associated with impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication systems. The carrier-less nature of this nonconventional totally real ...
  • On special-purpose hardware clusters for high-performance computational grids 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Lehrter, Jeanne M.; Bouldin, Donald W.; Langston, Micheal A.; Peterson, Gregory D. (2017-03-22)
    Lehrter, J. M., Abu-Khzam, F. N., Bouldin, D. W., Langston, M. A., & Peterson, G. D. (2002, November). On Special-purpose Hardware Clusters for High-performance Computational Grids. In IASTED PDCS (pp. 1-5).
  • On the achievable diversity orders over non-severely faded lognormal channels 
    Abou-Rjeily, Chadi; Bkassiny, Mario (2019-01-22)
    We propose to approximate the distribution of the sum of identically-distributed lognormal random variables by an Erlang distribution. The advantage of the proposed approximation over the lognormal and non-lognormal ...
  • On the Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Diversity with Time-Hopping Ultra-Wideband Communications 
    Abou-Rjeily, Chadi; Daniele, N.; Belfiore, J.-C. (2016-02-16)
    In this paper, we extend the Amplify-and-Forward cooperative diversity scheme to the context of impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB). In particular, we present the construction of three families of minimal-delay and ...
  • On the complexity of bilinear computations 
    Takche, Jean Halim (Pennsylvania State University, 2018-04-17)
    Arithmetic complexity theory is the study of the minimum number of non-scalar multiplications required to compute a set of bilinear forms. One can show that we can restrict ourselves to bilinear algorithms. Brockett and ...
  • On the complexity of multi-parameterized cluster editing 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal (2018-04-23)
    The Cluster Editing problem seeks a transformation of a given undirected graph into a disjoint union of cliques via a minimum number of edge additions or deletions. A multi-parameterized version of the problem is studied, ...
