Human Behavior Modeling For Residential Energy Consumption, Mesfer Alrizq

Research and Creative Activities Poster Day

Electric utility companies are interested in load profile (electricity consumption) data for expansion planning. Conventional methods of collecting the load profile data, such as surveys and metering, are tedious and time consuming activities. Cumbersome data collection processes also pose barriers. We present an innovative behavior model for generating electricity consumption load profiles. The model, based on fuzzy logic and activity graphs, requires minimum consumer data and can be easily updated to adapt to changes in technology. We demonstrate the accuracy of our model against real world data.

A Pnn-Jensen-Bregman Divergence For A Wlan Indoor Positioning System, Osamah Ali Abdullah

Research and Creative Activities Poster Day

For decades, humans have been keen on creating smart spaces where advanced technology is utilized to provide enhanced services Indoor positioning systems (IPS) can be used to provide a wide range of user navigation and directions services, particularly in abnormal conditions such as needing emergency healthcare services. IPS also can be a friendly tool for people with vision impairment to allow for better livable communities for them. Other applications for IPS fall under tracking applications which may include activity recognition for security purposes and observation for the elderly or infirmed individuals. An indoor positioning system can be a hybrid system …

Implementation Of Software Community Radio Using Low Cost Resources, Amean Shareaf Ghazi Al-Safi

Research and Creative Activities Poster Day

Community radio is the third third model model of radio broadcasting besides besides the commercial and public systems systems. It aims to provide individuals with local news and information that are important to a small community. This poster presented a new method of implementing community community radio using low cost hardware and free software.The transmitter system consists of PC, USRP, and antenna while the receiver side consists of Raspberry Pi, RTL –SDR, and antenna .The main goal is to define and demonstrate a low, cost, flexible transmitter consisting of the USRP N210 and and commodity PC and a receiver consisting …

Design Of Hardware Accelerator For Fuzzy Automaton Using Dynamic Reconfiguration, Chinh K. Nguyen

Research and Creative Activities Poster Day

Introduction

Nowadays, computational intelligence has been applied to transform human behavior and experience into mathematical representations that can be interpreted by computer programs. The development of intelligent control systems and intelligent decision support systems (IDSS) (Fig. 1) are part of this trend. Moreover, Partial reconfiguration allows some regions of the FPGA to be dynamically reconfigured while other tasks are still running in the remainder of the device. A hardware accelerator was developed for a fuzzy automaton-based decision support system in the context of testing eye-hand coordination skills for handicapped children. A Zynq-7000 FPGA platform (Fig. 3) was used for this …

Smart Home Node For Local Wireless Applications, Lalith Narasimhan

Research and Creative Activities Poster Day

This research investigated the possibility of implementing a multifrequency and multiprotocol wire-less smart home node by using Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) and the open-source GNU Radio platform. Such an implementation could provide a high level of interoperability between various devices leading to a higher level of flexibility and easier implementation of current and future smart home standards and protocols.
