The School of Computer Science, Telecommunications, and Information Systems (CTI) is a technologically-focused college within DePaul University. While DePaul CTI has a large number of technical degree programs, DePaul University is a liberal arts institution and one that is increasingly focused on improving the writing skills of its students. It can be difficult to create courses that cover nec...

This technical report describes how biologically inspired agents can be used to solve control and management problems in Telecommunications. These agents, inspired by the foraging behavior of ants, exhibit the desirable characteristics of simplicity of action and interaction. The collection of agents, or swarm system, deals only with local knowledge and exhibits a form of distributed control wi...

The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Technical Committee on Frequency Allocation in Remote Sensing (FARS) is charged with providing recommendations and responses to queries on interference and frequency allocation issues in passive and active microwave remote sensing. In response to questions stemming from proposals to develop ultra-widehand (UWB) vehicular radar systems operat...

Since we can ‘spin’ words and concepts to suit our affective needs, context is a major determinant of the perceived affect of a word or concept. We view this re-profiling as a selective emphasis or de-emphasis of the qualities that underpin our shared stereotype of a concept or a word meaning, and construct our model of the affective lexicon accordingly. We show how a large body of affective st...

The current and future growth in telecommunications (National Information Infrastructure) requires technical expertise at all levels to develop, install and operate the equipment. From discussions with the telecommunications industrial leaders, telecommunications and networking professionals are needed. To meet this need, the Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) department at Purdue Universi...
