Significant breakthroughs in the last decade in the Machine Learning (ML) field have ushered in a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Particularly, recent advances in Deep Learning (DL) have enabled to develop a new ...
Rajović, Nikola (Date of defense: 2017-06-30)
In the late 1990s, powerful economic forces led to the adoption of commodity desktop processors in High-Performance Computing(HPC). This transformation has been so effective that the November 2016 TOP500 list is still ...
Baranda Hortigüela, Jorge (Date of defense: 2021-11-09)
5G marks the beginning of a deep revolution in the mobile network ecosystem, transitioning to a network of services to satisfy the demands of new players, the vertical industries. This revolution implies a redesign of the ...
Alaei, Mohammad (Date of defense: 2013-06-27)
In Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) the lifetime of battery operated visual nodes is limited by their energy consumption, which is proportional to the energy required for sensing, processing, and transmitting ...
Nishtala, Rajiv (Date of defense: 2017-07-10)
In 2013, U.S. data centres accounted for 2.2% of the country's total electricity consumption, a figure that is projected to increase rapidly over the next decade. A significant proportion of power consumed within a data ...
AlSkaif, Tarek (Date of defense: 2016-07-26)
The need for energy conservation, grid reliability, and improved operational efficiencies have led to the changes from conventional electricity grids which have “blind” and manual operations, along with the electromechanical ...
