Seer Grid: privacy and utility implications of two-level load prediction in smart grids
(IEEE, 2017-02-01)We propose "Seer Grid", a novel two-level energy consumption prediction framework for smart grids, aimed to decrease the trade-off between privacy requirements (of the customer) and data utility requirements (of the energy ... -
Segregated polymeric nanocomposites with tunable three-dimensional network of nanoparticles by controlling the dispersion and distribution
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-10-09)A tunable three-dimensional network of nanoparticles was for the first time realized in a segregated polymeric nanocomposite by controlling the dispersion and distribution of nanoparticles in an emulsion system. The results ... -
Selecting a multicriteria inventory classification model to improve customer order fill rate
(Hindawi Limited, 2017-04-5)Multicriteria models have been proposed for inventory classification in previous studies. However, it is important to make a decision when a particular multicriteria inventory classification model should be preferred over ... -
Selecting planning horizon length for sequential low-thrust orbit-raising optimization problem
(Univelt Inc., 2019-09)In this paper, we revisit the low-thrust multi-revolution orbit-raising problem formulated as a sequence of optimal control sub-problems, each of which computes the trajectory over a planning horizon. Each sub-problem ... -
Selection of amplify-and-forward mobile relay under cascaded Rayleigh fading
(IEEE, 2013)This paper assumes a practical channel model, called a cascaded Rayleigh fading channel, for a noncooperative distributed mobile relay network, which consists of one mobile source and one mobile destination, and multiple ... -
Selective cache digest exchange mechanism for group based Content Delivery Networks
(Wichita State University, 2013-07)Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are one of the most important techniques used for WAN optimization. CDN service providers install a cache server/distribution server close to the end users of the original data. The data ... -
Selective prefetching: prefetching when only required
(IEEE, 1999)Cache memories are commonly used to reduce the number of slower lower-level memory accesses, thereby improving the memory hierarchy performance. However, high cache miss-ratio can severely degrade system performance. It ... -
A self-cognizant dynamic system approach for prognostics and health management
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-03-15)Prognostics and health management (PHM) is an emerging engineering discipline that diagnoses and predicts how and when a system will degrade its performance and lose its partial or whole functionality. Due to the complexity ... -
Self-hiding behavior in Android apps: detection and characterization
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018)Applications (apps) that conceal their activities are fundamentally deceptive; app marketplaces and end-users should treat such apps as suspicious. However, due to its nature and intent, activity concealing is not disclosed ... -
Self-learning ad-hoc routing protocol
(IEEE, 2003-10-06)As the technologies for ad-hoc networks emerge, an ad-hoc routing protocol that can supply connectivity to mobile devices while utilizing a minimal amount of bandwidth as overhead becomes increasingly important. Minimal ... -
Self-Organizing Map (SOM) in Wind Speed Forecasting: A New Approach in Computational Intelligence (CI) Forecasting Methods
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Two critical issues in renewable energy are how to make wind energy cost effective and how to integrate wind energy into electricity grids. Within many approaches to cost reduction, wind speed forecasting was mentioned as ... -
Self-Organizing Map (SOM) in wind speed forecasting: a new approach in computational intelligence (CI) forecasting methods
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2013)While wind energy has been reported as the fastest growing among different sources of renewable energy, two critical issues are how to make wind energy cost effective and how to integrate it into electricity grids properly. ... -
A self-routing technique for software-defined Networks
(IEEE, 2020-03-05)Software-defined networking (SDN) is a centralized organization of computer networking in which all network switches are controlled and monitored by a single remote controller. Similar to any other centralized designs, ... -
Self-sensing of dielectric elastomer actuator enhanced by artificial neural network
(IOP Publishing, 2017-08-22)Dielectric elastomer (DE) is a type of soft actuating material, the shape of which can be changed under electrical voltage stimuli. DE materials have promising usage in future's soft actuators and sensors, such as soft ... -
