  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Three-Dimensional Network-on-Chip Architectures for Cycle Accurate Full-System Simulator

    Creator:
    Agarwal, Akash
    Abstract:
    High Performance Computing can find ubiquitous applications in the industry. HPC-applications are specifically designed to take advantage of the parallel nature of the computing systems which is often enabled by Multi-core/Many-core architectures. With this advent of Multi-processors in the mainstream systems, inter-core communication has been one of the major challenges...

  • The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

    Creator:
    Bodle, Ernie
    Abstract:
    Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

  • Substrate noise coupling analysis in 0.18um silicon germanium (SiGe) and silicon on insulator (SOI) processes

    Creator:
    Pham, Hui En
    Abstract:
    Analysis of substrate noise coupling has been performed for a 0.18¹m lightly doped silicon germanium BiCMOS process. Techniques to minimize noise coupling in the chip and board design are presented, as well as methods for accurate modeling for substrate noise coupling simulations. Measurements from a test chip were taken to...

  • Energy efficient communication across on-chip wires in digital CMOS

    Creator:
    Postman, Jacob
    Abstract:
    For the past half century, CMOS process scaling has followed Moore's law, approximately doubling transistor density every 18 months. While locally routed wires have generally scaled with transistor size, longer wires have scaled at a slower rate and in some cases have grown larger as chip size and complexity have...

  • Gender HCI issues in end-user programming

    Creator:
    Beckwith, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Until recently, research has not considered whether the design of end-user programming environments, such as spreadsheets, multimedia authoring languages, and CAD systems, affects males and females differently. As a result, we began investigating how the two genders are impacted by end-user programming software and whether attention to gender differences is...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Fallatah, Abrar
    Abstract:
    While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

  • Towards Pactive (Passive + Active) Sensing for Security Applications

    Creator:
    Menon, Arya
    Abstract:
    Increasing threats of terrorism and contraband smuggling have led to a growing interest in millimeter wave/ THz security sensors. Recently, systems combining active and passive sensing into one unit have been proposed where the active mode provides information on range and reflectivity, and the passive mode complements the active by...

    Creator:
    Brosig, Sean G.
    Abstract:
    Over the last 20 years, there has been rapid growth in the amount of installed wind power in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in the Columbia River Gorge. The variable and non-dispatchable nature of this resource requires that it be balanced in some form by other sources on the grid. In...
