for in situ, real-time monitoring of the operation of a PEM fuel cell with a fuel cell test system developed by CAVS/MSU. The principle of the sensors and test results of the sensors will be presented. INTRODUCTION Fuel cell technology has emerged as a promising platform from which to deliver future energy. 1,2

operations. The Adaptive Communications Environment (ACE) [2] has implemented a Proactor framework that encapsulates I/O Completion Ports of Windows NT operating system. This ACE Proactor abstraction provides an OO interface to the standard C APIs supported by Windows NT. We ported this Proactor framework

-owned data centres, making the market entry affordable only for big companies. Focusing on the reduction of entry and operational costs, we investigate a new dynamic resource provisioning method for MMOG operation using external data centres as low-cost resource providers. First, we identify in the various

Abstract We provide an overview and some recent results on real-time communication and control over Gaussian channels. In particular, the problem of remote stabilization of linear systems driven by Gaussian noise over Gaussian relay channels is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions

First, I would like to thank to Dimka Karastoyanova and Mariano Cilia for all the fruitful discussions, their guidance and support through the course of this project. Thanks also to Prof. Alejandro Buchmann who sponsored my stay at Technische Universität Darmstadt during the spring of 2004. The special thanks go to my advisor, Mariano Cilia, who has made all this possible. Finally, I’d like to thank to my family for all these years of support.

radio channel periodically. Consequently, communications will not suffer from the same interference each time; instead, it should be fairer and more stable. This thesis investigates the aforementioned problem in the field of low power wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things where Contiki OS

Fuzzy logic has been successfully applied in various fields. However, as fuzzy controllers increase in size and complexity, the number of control rules increases exponentially and real-time behavior becomes more difficult. This thesis introduces an any-time fuzzy controller. Much work has been done

Abstract. We introduce a two-species fractional reaction-diffusion system to model activatorinhibitor dynamics with anomalous diffusion such as occurs in spatially inhomogeneous media. Conditions are derived for Turing instability induced pattern formation in these fractional activatorinhibitor

For MMOGs with higher realtime requirements and/or a smaller number of customers willing to pay, peer-to-peer networking seems to be a
