Cross-user subsidy in residential broadband service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The rapid growth of Internet traffic has made Internet Service Providers (ISP) struggle to upgrade network capacity and to maintain service quality. The increase in the broadband usage impacts the cost of an ISP through ...
Integration of distributed and heterogeneous information for public-private policy analyses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Databases and analysis tools currently being used to study carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) options are managed by diverse organizations and are heterogeneous in format. Tools to study the various components of a ...
A theory and toolkit for the mathematics of privacy : methods for anonymizing data while minimizing information loss
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Privacy laws are an important facet of our society. But they can also serve as formidable barriers to medical research. The same laws that prevent casual disclosure of medical data have also made it difficult for researchers ...
Knowledge organization and content generation in knowledgemediaries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Feedback loops in educational environments using web-based survey tools : new technology development and three implementation case studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This thesis presents lessons from the development of an on-line, web-based feedback system and preliminary analysis of the socio-technical interactions associated with the specification, design and use of this system. The ...
Air time : another measure of the quality of passenger service
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The proposal of a new metric called "Air Time" and its various components, show the advantage of having a broader perspective of the travel process of airline passengers. Travel time is basically affected by three different ...
Functional compression : theory and application
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
We consider the problem of functional compression. The objective is to separately compress possibly correlated discrete sources such that an arbitrary deterministic function of those sources can be computed given the ...
Design of an information entity-- the InfoCo-- for the electric power industry under restructuring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Design of dual-output alternators with switched-mode rectification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Electrification of many automotive functions and the desire to introduce many new features are dramatically increasing the electrical power requirements of vehicles. The increasing power demands are becoming very challenging ...
