  • Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

    Creator:
    King, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...

  • Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

    Creator:
    Duong, Thai
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

  • Advancing Power Grid Computing: Analysis and Synthesis of Wide-Area Data, Distributed Real-Time Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulations, and Machine Learning for Event Detection

    Creator:
    Hagan, Travis
    Abstract:
    Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...

  • High-speed implementation of the RSA cryptosystem

    Creator:
    Peng, Yanqun
    Abstract:
    A public key cryptosystem allows two or more parties to securely communicate over an insecure channel without establishing a physically secure channel for key exchange. The RSA cryptosystem is the most popular public key cryptosystem ever invented. It is based on the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. Once the...

  • An efficient switched capacitor buck-boost voltage regulator using delta-sigma control loop

    Creator:
    Rao, Arun
    Abstract:
    Voltage converters or charge pumps find their use in many circuits. They are extensively used in hand held devices as cell phones, pagers, PDA's and laptops. Some of the important issues relating to design of voltage regulators for handheld devices are size, efficiency and noise. Another important factor to be...

  • Image features and learning algorithms for biological, generic and social object recognition

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wei
    Abstract:
    Automated recognition of object categories in images is a critical step for many real-world computer vision applications. Interest region detectors and region descriptors have been widely employed to tackle the variability of objects in pose, scale, lighting, texture, color, and so on. Different types of object recognition problems usually require...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...
