Assessing Convective Heat Transfer Coefficients Associated with Indoor Shading Attachments Using a New Technique Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2015-01)ASHRAE research project RP-1311 concluded with the creation of simulation models, the ASHWAT models, for glazing systems with shading attachments. Such assemblies are known as Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS). ASHWAT ... -
Augmented Reality-Based Indoor Navigation Using Google Glass as a Wearable Head-Mounted Display
(IEEE, 2015-10)This research comprehensively illustrates the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel marker less environment tracking technology for an augmented reality based indoor navigation application, adapted to efficiently ... -
Cardinality Constrained Robust Optimization Applied to a Class of Interval Observers
(IEEE, 2014-07-21)We propose a linear programming-based method of interval observer design for systems with uncertain but bounded model parameters and initial conditions. We assume that each uncertain parameter in the system model is bounded ... -
Convective Heat Transfer In Hydrodynamically-Developed Laminar Flow In Asymmetrically-Heated Annuli: A Three-Temperature Problem
(2016-07)Heat transfer in hydrodynamically-developed flow in asymmetrically-heated channels and annuli has been studied extensively. This study is an extension of earlier work where heat transfer in an asymmetrically-heated ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
Defining Haptic Experience: Foundations for Understanding, Communicating, and Evaluating HX
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Haptic technology is maturing, with expectations and evidence that it will contribute to user experience (UX). However, we have very little understanding about how haptic technology can influence people’s experience. ... -
Demonstration Of New ESP-R Capability For Quantifying The Energy Savings Potential Of Window Shading Devices
(2009-06)Buildings with highly glazed facades and well insulated, air-tight envelopes result in interior spaces that are highly sensitive to solar gain. Solar gain through glazing is the largest and most variable gain in buildings ... -
Detecting Feature-Interaction Symptoms in Automotive Software Using Lightweight Analysis
(IEEE, 2019-02)Modern automotive software systems are large, com- plex, and feature rich; they can contain over 100 million lines of code, comprising hundreds of features distributed across multiple electronic control units (ECUs), all ... -
Determining Longwave Radiative Properties Of Flat Shading Materials
(2008-08)Solar gain through fenestration has a significant impact on building peak load and annual energy consumption. Shading devices, attached to fenestration, offer a cost effective strategy in controlling solar gain. The ... -
Distributed Robust Vehicle State Estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-06)A distributed estimation approach based on opinion dynamics is proposed to enhance the reliability of vehicle corners’ velocity estimates, which are obtained by an unscented Kalman filter. The corners’ estimates from a ... -
Dual Conditions for Local Transverse Feedback Linearization
(IEEE, 2019-01-21)Given a control-affine system and a controlled invariant submanifold, the local transverse feedback linearization problem is to determine whether or not the system is locally feedback equivalent to a system whose dynamics ... -
Duetto: Latency Guarantees at Minimal Performance Cost
(IEEE Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE), 2021-02-05)The management of shared hardware resources in multi-core platforms has been characterized by a fundamental trade-off: high-performance arbiters typically employed in COTS systems offer no worst-case guarantees, while ... -
DuoMC: Tight DRAM Latency Bounds with Shared Banks and Near-COTS Performance
(ACM International Symposium on Memory Systems (MEMSYS 2021), 2021-09-27)DRAM memory controllers (MCs) in COTS systems are designed primarily for average performance, offering no worst-case guarantees, while real-time MCs provide timing guarantees at the cost of a significant average performance ... -
Effective U-values and Shading Coefficients of Preheat/Supply Air Glazing Systems
(1986-06)Research is documented which makes use of a computer program called VISION, This computer program was developed specifically to provide a detailed analysis of heat transfer occurring in glazing systems. VISION was modified ... -
Efficient Simulation Of Complex Fenestration Systems In Heat Balance Room Models
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2011-11)The solar, longwave, and convective interactions between a window, its shading attachments and its surroundings constitute a complicated coupled heat balance problem that can entail significant computational intensity to ... -
An Empirical Investigation to Understand the Difficulties and Challenges of Software Modellers When Using Modelling Tools
(ACM, 2018-10)Software modelling is a challenging and error-prone task. Existing Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) tools provide modellers with little aid, partly because tool providers have not investigated users' difficulties through ... -
An Examination of Keyes Universal Chart: 50 Years Later
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2016-01)From the late 1940's to the late 1960's, significant efforts were made by ASHVE and then ASHRAE to evaluate and quantify the impact of window shading. In the context of the now defunct Shading Coefficient, well known ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Indoor Navigation Devices
