    Optimisation methods meet the smart grid. New methods for solving location and allocation problems under the smart grid paradigm 

    Torrent-Fontbona, Ferran (Date of defense: 2015-06-23)

    The smart grid offers a new infrastructure for the management of energy demand and generation towards a sustainable future. Accordingly, there is the objective to provide consumers with a response capacity to stimuli of ...

    Pattern recognition based on qualitative representation of signals. Application to situation assessment of dynamic systems 

    Gamero Argüello, Fco. Ignacio (Francisco Ignacio) (Date of defense: 2012-06-26)

    The main focus of situation assessment is to decide on the adequacy of process behaviour with respect to specifications. When is not possible to have a mathematical model to represent the system operation, other non-model-based ...

    Prediction of postprandial blood glucose under intra-patient variability and uncertainty and its use in the design of insulin dosing strategies for type 1 diabetic patients 

    García Jaramillo, Maira Alejandra (Date of defense: 2011-07-22)

    In this thesis I propose a novel method to estimate the dose and injection-to-meal time for low-risk intensive insulin therapy. This dosage-aid system uses an optimization algorithm to determine the insulin dose and ...

    Selective submap joining SLAM for autonomous vehicles 

    Aulinas Masó, Josep M. (Date of defense: 2011-09-22)

    Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) do not result in consistent maps of large areas because of gradual increase of the uncertainty for long term missions. In addition, as the size of the map grows the computational ...

    Smarter urban planning through a citizen-based approach. The Smart urban planning method 

    Marsal, Maria Lluïsa, 1974- (Date of defense: 2013-11-15)

    In this dissertation we propose an objective method for updating traditional urban planning methodologies based on input from citizens regarding their current and future urban requirements. Specifically, our methodology ...

    Technology-enhaced support for lifelong competence development in higher education 

    Florian Gaviria, Beatriz Eugenia (Date of defense: 2013-01-18)

    A trace of lifelong-learning qualifications has become more mandatory at the European and even at world level. However, for higher education courses, the former could imply complex learning designs and abundance of data ...

    Word-processing-based routing for Cayley graphs 

    Aguirre Guerrero, Daniela (Date of defense: 2019-05-15)

    This Thesis focuses on the problem of generic routing in Cayley Graphs(CGs). These graphs are a geometric representation of algebraic groups and have been used as topologies of a wide variety of communication networks. ...
