Design of Communication Systems with Energy Harvesting Transmitters and Receivers
An energy harvesting node (EHN) operates using the energy harvested from the environment, e.g., solar, piezoelectric and radio frequency, which presents the tantalizing possibility of perpetually operating of sensor nodes. ... -
Design of Privacy Protection Schemes for Mobile Adhoc Networks using Rough Set Theory
MANET is a self-con guring, decentralized and infrastructure-less mobile wireless network, where autonomous mobile nodes (such as laptops, smartphones, sensors, etc.) communicate over the wireless channels. Thus, MANETs ... -
Design of Trusted Market Platforms using Permissioned Blockchains and Game Theory
The blockchain concept forms the backbone of a new wave technology that promises to be deployed extensively in a wide variety of industrial and societal applications. Governments, financial institutions, banks, industrial ... -
Design, Development, Deployment and Performance Evaluation of Pyroelectric Infra-Red and Optical Camera based Intrusion Detection Systems in an Outdoor Setting
The primary contribution of this thesis is the comprehensive design, development, and deployment of a pyroElectric, InfraRed-sensor-based IntruSion classification (EIRIS) platform, along with attendant detection and ... -
Designing Solutions to Counter the Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
The open medium, dynamic topology and distributed operation in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) leads to high risks. Many solutions are proposed to protect a MANET from attacks, ranging from attack identification to ... -
Differential Encoding for Real-Time Status Updates
We consider the problem of status updates of a physical process over an unreliable channel. In this setting, one may not be able to reliably transmit the current state at all times. Instead, one is interested in the ... -
Distributed Target Tracking in Camera Networks
Recently, there is a tremendous increase in usage of multi-camera set-up in many applications such as surveillance, smart homes, sports analysis etc. Since manual analysis of videos in multi-camera set-up is tedious and ... -
Energy Aware Synthesis of Accelerators on a Network of HyperCells
With supply voltage no longer scaling down at the same rate as transistor feature size, keeping power dissipation to practical levels while maximizing performance is becoming a challenge in future computing systems. ... -
Enhancement of Small Signal Stability in Power Systems: Novel Approaches
The modern power system is a highly nonlinear system that operates in a constantly changing environment. Power system, need to maintain more or less flat voltage profile across the grid and maintain stability for small and ... -
Erasure Codes for Distributed Storage: Tight Bounds and Matching Constructions
The reliable storage of Big Data across a spatially distributed network of nodes, calls for erasure-correcting codes that in addition to protecting against data loss, can also efficiently handle node repair. The need for ... -
An Exploratory Framework for Cyclone Identification and Tracking
Analyzing depressions plays an important role in meteorology, especially in the study of cyclones. In particular, the study of the temporal evolution of cyclones requires a robust depression tracking framework. To cope ... -
A Fast Constant-Time Approximation for Locally Adaptive Bilateral Filtering
Smoothing is a fundamental task in low-level image processing that is used to suppress irrelevant details while preserving salient image structures. The simplest smoothing mechanism is to average neighboring pixels using ... -
Fast High-Dimensional Filtering
Smoothing (diffusion) is a fundamental task in low-level vision and image processing. In the context of natural images, where edges (sharp discontinuities) play an important psychovisual role, the smoothing process needs ... -
First Principles Based Mobility Estimation of Graphene
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) plays a vital role in detecting transport properties (e.g. mobility) of any material. First principles-based estimation of the mobility for any new material could act as a useful guideline ... -
Fully Resilient Non-Interactive ID-Based Hierarchical Key Agreement
Non-Interactive Key Agreement (NIKA) is a cryptographic primitive which allows two parties to agree on a shared secret key without any interaction. Identity-based Non-Interactive Key Agreement (ID-NIKA) allows each party ... -

Geometric and Topological Methods for Biomolecular Visualization
Biomolecules like proteins are the basic building blocks of living systems. It has been observed that the structure of a biomolecule plays an important role in defining its function. In this thesis, we describe novel ... -
Guarding Terrain using k-Watchtowers
The discrete k-watchtower problem for a polyhedral terrain T in R3 with n vertices is to nd k vertical segments, called watchtowers, of smallest height, whose bottom end-points (bases) lie on some vertices of T, and ... -
Handling Overloads with Social Consistency
Cloud computing applications have dynamic workloads, and they often observe spikes in the incoming traffic which might result in system overloads. System overloads are generally handled by various load balancing techniques ... -
Index Coding, Error Correcting Index Codes And Matroids
In the problem of index coding, there is a central source sending messages to a set of receivers which demand messages over a noiseless broadcast channel. Each receiver knows a subset of messages which is referred to as ...
