1. Architecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare : A Database-Centric Approach
Abstract : The development of system architectures and applications for smart homes and ambient assisted living has been the main activity of a number of academic and industrial research projects around the world. Existing system architectures for smart environments usually employ different architectural styles in a multi-layer logical architecture to support the integration and interoperation of heterogeneous hardware and software technologies, which are subsequently used to provide two major functionalities: monitoring and assistance.

2. Multi-oriented Symplectic Geometry and the Extension of Path Intersection Indices
Abstract : Symplectic geometry can be traced back to Lagrange and his work on celestial mechanics and has since then been a very active field in mathematics, partly because of the applications it offers but also because of the beauty of the objects it deals with.I this thesis we begin by the simplest fact of symplectic geometry.

3. Forward and Inverse Decision-Making in Adversarial, Cooperative, and Biologically-Inspired Dynamical Systems
Abstract : Decision-making is the mechanism of using available information to develop solutions to given problems by forming preferences, beliefs, or selecting courses of action amongst several alternatives. It is the main focus of a variety of scientific fields such as robotics, finances, and neuroscience. READ MORE

4. Learning from Interactions : Forward and Inverse Decision-Making for Autonomous Dynamical Systems
Abstract : Decision-making is the mechanism of using available information to generate solutions to given problems by forming preferences, beliefs, and selecting courses of action amongst several alternatives. In this thesis, we study the mechanisms that generate behavior (the forward problem) and how their characteristics can explain observed behavior (the inverse problem). READ MORE
