In recent years the detection and diagnosis of faults in devices and processes has been a field of research and development that has been addressed from multiple perspectives: control engineering, artificial intelligence ...
Grosso Pérez, Juan Manuel (Fecha de defensa: 2015-03-26)
This thesis is devoted to design Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies aiming to enhance the management of constrained generalised flow-based networks, with special attention to the economic optimisation and robust ...
Aldana López, Carlos Iván (Fecha de defensa: 2015-03-17)
An interesting approach in cooperative control is to design distributed control strategies which use only local information so that a multi-agent system achieves specified behaviors. A basic behavior in cooperative control ...
Trulls Fortuny, Eduard (Fecha de defensa: 2015-02-20)
Local features have become an essential tool in visual recognition. Much of the progress in computer vision over the past decade has built on simple, local representations such as SIFT or HOG. SIFT in particular shifted ...
Strahl, Stephan (Fecha de defensa: 2014-11-07)
Increasing global energy demand, growing carbon emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel sources are some of the most important driving forces for the development of sustainable energy solutions. Proton Exchange Membrane ...

The fault-tolerant capability is an important performance specification for most of technical systems. The examples showing its importance are some catastrophes in civil aviation. According to some official investigations, ...
Joseph Duran, Bernat (Fecha de defensa: 2014-11-04)
Combined sewer networks carry wastewater and storm water together. During normal operation all the water is delivered to wastewater treatment plants, where it is treated before being released to surrounding natural water ...
Carrero Candelas, Niliana Andreina (Fecha de defensa: 2014-07-18)
This thesis covered the modeling, simulation as well as the design of a control law for a coupled inductor Boost converter. In particular, from the point of view of modeling, we focused on the use of averaged modeling ...
Sánchez Hernández, Germán (Fecha de defensa: 2013-09-13)
This thesis presents a novel and complete fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. This methodology is specifically designed for selecting classifications in the framework of unsupervised learning systems. ...
Samà Monsonís, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2013-10-03)
This thesis presents the original contributions of the author on the field of human movement analysis from signals captured by accelerometers. These sensors are capable of converting acceleration from some body parts into ...
Garrell Zulueta, Anaís (Fecha de defensa: 2013-12-20)
The development of social robots capable of interacting with humans is one of the principal challenges in the field of robotics. More and more, robots are appearing in dynamic environments, like pedestrian walkways, ...
