Decentralized signal processing systems with conservation principles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, a framework for designing fixed-point and optimization algorithms realized as asynchronous, distributed signal processing systems is developed with an emphasis on the system's stability, robustness, and ... -
Decentralized task allocation for dynamic environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents an overview of the design process for creating greedy decentralized task allocation algorithms and outlines the main decisions that progressed the algorithm through three different forms. The first ... -
Decentralized task allocation for dynamic, time-sensitive tasks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In time-sensitive and dynamic missions, autonomous vehicles must respond quickly to new information and objectives. In the case of dynamic task allocation, a team of agents are presented with a new, unknown task that must ... -
Decentralized task allocation in communication contested environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis explores the topic of decentralized task allocation. Specific emphasis is placed on how and when decentralized task allocation should be applied as a decision making tool for autonomous multi-agent missions. ... -
Decentralized teaching and learning in cooperative multiagent systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Cooperative multiagent decision making is a ubiquitous problem with many real-world applications, including organization of driverless car fleets [1, 2], target surveillance [3], and warehouse automation [4-6]. The unifying ... -
Decentralized utilization incentives in electronic cash
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Many mechanisms exist in centralized systems that incentivize resource utilization. For example, central governments use inflation for many reasons, but a common justification for inflation in practice is as a means to ... -
Decentralized water treatment in urban India, and the potential impacts of reverse osmosis water purifiers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The degrading water quality in India combined with reduced groundwater supplies and insufficient municipal water distribution has led to the adoption of household water purifiers across the country. These water purifiers ... -
Decentralizing decision making in modern military organizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)For organizations, the value of information is to improve decision making. In the military in particular, information's role in warfare has always been to affect decisions at all levels -- from strategic to tactical - to ... -
Decentralizing UNIX abstractions in the exokernel architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Decentralizing urbanization : harnessing the potential of small cities in India
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Perceived as symbols of national development or degeneration, megacities continue to dominate discourse and action related to urbanization, particularly in developing countries like India. Simultaneously, a large portion ... -
Decibel : transactional branched versioning for relational data systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)As scientific endeavors and data analysis become increasingly collaborative, there is a need for data management systems that natively support the versioning or branching of datasets to enable concurrent analysis, cleaning, ... -
Decidability questions for Petri Nets.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Decidable prime models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)A set S of types over a theory T is strongly free if for all subsets X [strict subset] S, there is a countable model of T which realizes X and omits S\X. Throughout, all theories are assumed complete and consistent unless ... -
Deciding how to decide: Using the Digital Preservation Storage Criteria
(SAGE Publications, 2021-05)The Digital Preservation Storage Criteria (hereafter, the Criteria) grew out of a community discussion at the 12th International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES 2015) on the evolving landscape of digital preservation ... -
Deciding where and how to intervene : information systems and decision-making structures for planning improvement of urban low income settlements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
Decimator implementation for a pipelined oversampling analog-to-digital converter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Decipher in situ signaling and complex genetics with cellular recording and combinatorial perturbations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The complex, dynamic, and responsive behavior of cells arises from integrated signaling pathways and regulatory networks. With advancement in our ability to engineer mammalian cells, we harness a novel set of molecular ... -
Deciphering and modelling the action of immune cells using highly multiplexed imaging and deep learning techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Cells of the immune system are capable of responding to foreign antigen, promoting host defense while limiting damage to host tissues, through an act known as selftolerance. T cells, their activation and their effector ... -
Deciphering genetic associations using genome-wide epigenomics approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Genetic mapping of the drivers of complex human phenotypes and disease through the genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified thousands of causal genetic loci in the human population. However, genetic mapping ... -
Deciphering how the viscoelastic properties of mussel-inspired metal-coordinate hydrogels dictate their adhesive and interfacial mechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In the world of adhesives, tunable viscoelasticity and adhesion to wet surfaces are two highly desirable properties. Mussels have already mastered both of these properties within the threads they create to anchor themselves ...
