• Abstract

  The GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most used method for geolocation in open areas. However, for indoor environments, such as industries and hospitals, this model is not applicable due to satellite reach limitations and signal losses. In the first stage of this project, some technologies for indoor positioning were analyzed, such as Wi-Fi, RFID (radio frequency identification), Blu…

  Improvement of a computational laboratory of IMECC, AP.RT.INST

• Abstract

  The aim of this project is the improvement of IMECC information systems, which are currently outdated and do not adequately meet the requirements of the professors, researchers and graduate students of the institute. The project includes the expansion of the wireless network, the increase of our data storage capacity, the creation of a redundant firewall and the update of computer equipme…

• Abstract

  A solution of complex engineering problems is usually done with the aid of numerical methods such as finite element method (or the boundary element method). In some cases, these numerical methods represent only one step in a larger algorithm, as in topology optimization, in which an amount of material is distributed in an area so as to form a structure that is as rigid as possible and can…

• Abstract

  In this project, we will study how to obtain the minimal cost network that connects several sources to one sink, a problem related to the computation of the Euclidean Steiner minimum tree in the plane. We will pay special attention to the optimization of a network of pipes that transport sewage to a treatment site. We will study the mathematical aspects of the problem, as well as some met…
