    Unstructured P2P social search query routing algorithms for agentified social networks 

    Trias Mansilla, Albert (Date of defense: 2013-07-19)

    The village paradigm presents some benefits compared with the library paradigm; people can adapt the answer content as a function of who is requesting the information, or furthermore, people can perform clarifications of ...

    Case-based diagnosis of batch processes based on latent structures 

    Berjaga Moliné, Xavier (Date of defense: 2013-11-14)

    The aim of this thesis is to present a methodological approach for the automatic monitoring of batch processes based on a combination of statistical models and machine learning methods. The former is used to model the ...

    Design and implementation of a closed-loop blood glucose control system in patients with type 1 diabetes 

    León Vargas, Fabian Mauricio (Date of defense: 2013-10-23)

    In the work presented in this dissertation, open-loop and closed-loop control strategies that were aimed at resolving major glucose control problems in the postprandial period were developed. A new model-based control ...

    Enfoques metodológicos para mejorar la precisión y fiabilidad de los sistemas de monitorización continua de glucosa en pacientes con diabetes tipo 1 y en pacientes críticos mediante técnicas lineales y no lineales 

    Leal Moncada, Yenny Teresa (Date of defense: 2013-07-30)

    This dissertation focuses on the development and improvement of the minimally invasive continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS). This dissertation gives emphasis in solving the problem of the accuracy and reliability ...

    Prediction of postprandial blood glucose under intra-patient variability and uncertainty and its use in the design of insulin dosing strategies for type 1 diabetic patients 

    García Jaramillo, Maira Alejandra (Date of defense: 2011-07-22)

    In this thesis I propose a novel method to estimate the dose and injection-to-meal time for low-risk intensive insulin therapy. This dosage-aid system uses an optimization algorithm to determine the insulin dose and ...

    Dynamic task allocation and coordination in cooperative multi-agent environments 

    Suárez Barón, Silvia Andrea (Date of defense: 2011-02-25)

    La coordinació i assignació de tasques en entorns distribuïts ha estat un punt important de la recerca en els últims anys i aquests temes són el cor dels sistemes multi-agent. Els agents en aquests sistemes necessiten ...

    Egalitarian behaviour in multi unit combinatorial auctions 

    Murillo Espinar, Javier (Date of defense: 2010-11-10)

    En entornos donde los recursos son precederos y la asignación de recursos se repite en el tiempo con el mismo conjunto o un conjunto muy similar de agentes, las subastas recurrentes pueden ser utilizadas. Una subasta ...

    Robustness on resource allocation problems 

    Muñoz i Solà, Víctor (Date of defense: 2011-02-17)

    En problemes d'assignació de recursos, normalment s'han de tenir en compte les incerteses que poden provocar canvis en les dades inicials. Aquests canvis dificulten l'aplicabilitat de les planificacions que s'hagin fet ...

    Semiactive control strategies for vibration mitigation in adaptronic structures equipped with magnetorheological dampers 

    Zapateiro de la Hoz, Mauricio Fabián (Date of defense: 2009-07-21)

    Los sistemas tales como edificios y veh¨ªculos est¨¢n sujetos a vibraciones que pueden causar mal funcionamiento, incomodidad o colapso. Para mitigar estas vibraciones, se suelen instalar amortiguadores. Estas estructuras ...

    A proposal for the diagnosis of uncertain dynamic systems based on interval models 

    Gelso, Esteban Reinaldo (Date of defense: 2009-05-29)

    The performance of a model-based diagnosis system could be affected by several uncertainty sources, such as,model errors,uncertainty in measurements, and disturbances. This uncertainty can be handled by mean of interval ...
