The growing adoption of data communication has resulted in dramatically higher capacity and performance. Communications engineers have historically optimized Physical (Phy)/Medium Access Control (MAC) layers to increase aggregate network throughput. However, in recent years, res…
Sensor nodes collect data from the physical world, then exchange it, until it reaches the intended destination. This information can be sensitive, such as battlefield surveillance. Therefore, providing secure and continuous data transmissions among sensor nodes in wireless netwo…
The topic of this thesis is control and estimation over unreliable communication networks such as wireless network. It is assumed that the plant and control unit are connected though unreliable channels. We considered the problems of estimation and control under two dierent prot…
Topological Design of Enterprise networks (ENs) is a hard problem. There, we resort to heuristics to come up with desirable solutions. Enterprise Network topology design problem comprises several conflicting objectives such as minimization of cost, minimization of network delay,…
The goal of this thesis is to explore a possibility for a viable alternative/replacement to the Amharic typewriter. Amharic is the national language of Ethiopia. It is one of the oldest languages in the world. Actually, the root-language of Amharic, called Geez, is a descendent …
The heavily distorting channels limit the use of linear equalizers and the use of the nonlinear equalizers becomes admissible. Most nonlinear equalizers, e.g. Voltera type, are usually too complicated to meet real-time processing demands. Neural networks-based equalizers, especi…
This dissertation research analyzes the vernacular cosmopolitan praxis of Muslim women in transnational cyberspaces related to topical and collective action networks, in an effort to detangle cosmopolitanism from its Western biases and to move away from studies of online Muslim …
State governance based on a clan system lacks definition in the early days of the twenty-first century. This dissertation seeks to explore the structures and functions of the clan system in the Republic of Azerbaijan. This requires examination of the formal and informal institut…
Before U.S. involvement in the Middle East increased dramatically following World War II, few Americans had direct experience with the region. Those that did came primarily from missionary or government service backgrounds. Between 1945 and 1967 this small group evolved into a l…
