  • AOPS : an abstraction oriented programming system for literate programming

    Creator:
    Shum, Stephen M.
    Abstract:
    The practice of literate programming is not widespread because existing literate programming systems have some undesirable characteristics such as programming language and text processor dependence and lack of flexible tools for viewing and manipulation of the source file. This dissertation describes the literate programming system AOPS (Abstraction Oriented Programming System)...

  • Design and Analysis of Distributed Resource Allocation Techniques for Large-Scale Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks

    Creator:
    NoroozOliaee, MohammadJavad
    Abstract:
    The widespread use of wireless devices that we have recently been witnessing, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wirelessly accessible devices in general, is causing an unprecedented growth in the required amount of the wireless radio spectrum. On the other hand, the spectrum resource has, for the last several decades,...

  • Maximum flow in planar digraphs

    Creator:
    Harutyunyan, Anna
    Abstract:
    Worst-case analysis is often meaningless in practice. Some problems never reach the anticipated worst-case complexity. Other solutions get bogged down with impractical constants during implementation, despite having favorable asymptotic running times. In this thesis, we investigate these contrasts in the context of finding maximum flows in planar digraphs. We suggest...

  • Information Theoretical Analysis of Self-Similar Trees

    Creator:
    Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
    Abstract:
    Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Offloading of I/O transactions in current CPU architectures

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...

  • Mobility Protocol, Channel Estimation and Modulation Techniques for Hybrid WiFi-FSO (WiFO) WLAN of Femtocells

    Creator:
    Chu, Yu-Jung
    Abstract:
    As the price of broadband access service becomes more affordable, the number of homes with WiFi and public WiFi hotspots in the US are projected to increase significantly in the next few years. However, limited capacity of existing WiFi networks fail to provide adequate bandwidth for densely populated areas. Therefore,...

  • Variable sampling compensation of networked control systems with delays using neural networks

    Creator:
    Lopez-Echevarria, Daniel
    Abstract:
    In networked control systems (NCS) information or packets usually flow from a sensor or a set of sensors to a remotely located controller. Then the controller processes the received information and sends a series of control commands to the actuators through a communication network which could be either wireless or...

  • Low-complexity high-speed VLSI design of low-density parity-check decoders

    Creator:
    Cui, Zhiqiang
    Abstract:
    Low-Density Parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted considerable attention due to their capacity approaching performance over AWGN channel and highly parallelizable decoding schemes. They have been considered in a variety of industry standards for the next generation communication systems. In general, LDPC codes achieve outstanding performance with large codeword lengths (e.g.,...

  • Energy-Efficient Resource Management Techniques for Cloud Data Centers

    Creator:
    Dabbagh, Mehiar
    Abstract:
    Energy consumption has become a great deal for cloud service providers due to financial as well as environmental concerns. Studies show that cloud servers operate, most of the time, at only between 10% and 50% of their maximal utilizations. These same studies also show that servers that are kept ON...
