  • Type-correct changes — a safe approach to version control implementation

    Creator:
    Dagit, Jason
    Abstract:
    Ensuring correctness of real-world software applications is a challenging task. Testing can be used to find many bugs, but is typically not sufficient for proving correctness or even eliminating entire classes of bugs. However, formal proof and verification techniques tend to be very heavy weight and are simply not available...

  • Next generation analog-to-digital conversion using time-based encoding and digital synthesis techniques

    Creator:
    Muhlestein, Jason, Russell
    Abstract:
    The internet-of-things is a growing market segment which is based on an arrayof portable communication devices with high power efficiency. Advanced semiconductortechnology can easily improve their digital performance, but the samecannot be said for the analog blocks which are vital to their operation. Highperformance analog circuits continue to use conventional...

  • Staying Consistent: Discipline-Specific Language Used in Introductory CS Curricula

    Creator:
    Weber, Jason
    Abstract:
    The understanding of Discipline-Specific Language is an important competency for students of any field to begin mastering early in their studies, since it serves as a prerequisite for both the analysis of expert text and precise communication. Therefore, an introductory curriculum should pay careful attention to how it incorporates, defines,...

  • Exploitation and Mitigation of CPU Vulnerabilities

    Creator:
    Mestas, Phillip O., III
    Abstract:
    AMD SEV allows for the creation of fully encrypted virtual machines. This allows cloud computing tenants’ data to be secret to the cloud computing provider. However, it has been shown that the encryption scheme used by AMD can easily be broken. The attacker can create a copy of the virtual...

  • A Wireless Energy Harvester for Powering Event-driven Internet-of-things Applications and Battery Charging

    Creator:
    Sadagopan, Kamala Raghavan
    Abstract:
    The need for sustainably powering unobtrusive internet-of-things applications has led to an interest in energy harvesting. Particularly, the proliferation of wireless communication and devices in the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific c Medical (ISM) band creates an opportunity to leverage commonly used devices for RF powering. This dissertation presents a low-quiescent-power...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • Investigating Time-Digital-Converters for Hardware Security in FPGAs

    Creator:
    Lytikov, Daniil
    Abstract:
    In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...

  • Machine Learning Techniques to Model Species Interactions and Distributions Under Imperfect Detection

    Creator:
    Seo, Eugene
    Abstract:
    Ecological domains seeking to understand the environment and the behavior of species have received little attention in machine learning (ML), despite the fact that environmental changes have a significant impact on humans as well as ecosystems. Some ecological problems can be formulated similarly to other common ML applications, but there...

  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...
