Simulating intra-household interactions for in- and out-of-home activity scheduling

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Negar Rezvany

Various interactions, time arrangements, and constraints exist for individuals scheduling their day as a member of a household, which affect their in-home as well as out-of-home activity schedule. However, the existing activity-based models are mostly base ...

Utilizing additive manufacturing and mass customization under capacity constraints

Ralf Seifert, Anna Timonina-Farkas, Rachel Agnès Laetitia Rosemonde Marie Lacroix

Additive manufacturing (AM), originally used for prototyping, is increasingly adopted for custom final part production across different industries. However, printing speed and production volume are two barriers for the adoption of AM for product customizat ...

Towards ‘Fourth Paradigm’ Spectral Sensing

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Reconstruction algorithms are at the forefront of accessible and compact data collection. In this paper, we present a novel reconstruction algorithm, SpecRA, that adapts based on the relative rarity of a signal compared to previous observations. We leverag ...

Clustering and Informative Path Planning for 3D Gas Distribution Mapping: Algorithms and Performance Evaluation

Alcherio Martinoli, Chiara Ercolani, Lixuan Tang, Ankita Arun Humne

Chemical gas dispersion can represent a severe threat to human and animal lives, as well as to the environment. Constructing a map of the distribution of gas in a fast and reliable manner is critical to ensure accurate monitoring of at-risk facilities and ...

South Sudan - State-of-the-Art on Flood Resilient Shelters

Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos, André Ullal

One of the most observable consequences of climate change is the abrupt increment in the number and intensity of seasonal floods. This has a special impact on vulnerable communities and developing countries that experience a strong impact on their housing ...

Finite Bit Quantization For Decentralized Learning Under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif, Marco Carpentiero

In this paper, we consider decentralized optimization problems where agents have individual cost functions to minimize subject to subspace constraints that require the minimizers across the network to lie in low-dimensional subspaces. This constrained form ...

CAFS: Cost-Aware Features Selection Method for Multimodal Stress Monitoring on Wearable Devices

David Atienza Alonso, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Adriana Arza Valdes, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Niloofar Momeni

Objective: Today, stress monitoring on wearable devices is challenged by the tension between high-detection accuracy and battery lifetime driven by multimodal data acquisition and processing. Limited research has addressed the classification cost on multim ...

Form follows availability – Designing structures through reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...
