A prototype intelligent multiagent benchmark maintaining distributed situational awareness with a rule engine. by Monica E. Barnette
Call Number: A&T SPEC COLL LD3914.N7 B28447 2008
Develops a distributed battle tracking system (DBTS) for the U.S. Army CERDEC (Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center) C2D (Command and Control Directorate) as an integral part of the development of a distributed battle command for tracking technology. Uses the JADE (Java Agent Development) multiagent framework to allow multiple agents to maintain awareness of each other, to alert each other when they diverge from the common plan, and to establish a new common plan.

These and other theses are located in ARCHIVES/SPECIAL COLLECTIONS on the second floor near the atrium.

3-D circuit modeling to enhance extraction of junction temperature information from converter output ringing. by Marsha Lee Walters
Call Number: A&T SPEC COLL LD3914.N71 W358 2008
Researches increasing the reliability of power electronic systems by making junction temperature control more practical. Examines a real-time, non-invasive technique to extract metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) junction temperature estimation from the ringing waveform on a DC output bus. Investigates how parasitics affect these ringing waveform properties that are junction temperature dependent and proposes printed circuit board (PCB) layout techniques that shape the ringing waveform for ease of detection
