  • 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...

  • Cluster partitioning approaches to parallel Monte Carlo simulation on multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...

  • Development and Implementation of JetNet : A Decentralized Wireless Sensing Protocol

    Creator:
    Goins, Justin B.
    Abstract:
    Modern sensor network applications are often implemented wirelessly in order to lessen installation costs and reduce deployment times. Unfortunately, these wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes must often rely on batteries or energy harvesting techniques in order to sustain their operation and supply the power needed to maintain communication within the...

  • Meeting End-to-End Deadlines in Real-Time Networks Using Software Defined Networking (SDN)

    Creator:
    Almahdi, Rafid M.
    Abstract:
    Network flows in Real-Time (RT) systems need to meet stringent end-to-end deadlines in order for such systems to operate safely and reliably. Today, such systems use custom or domain specific network system designs to meet end-to-end deadlines and other constraints of real-time flows. In this work we explore the design...

  • Coding Techniques for Achieving Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

    Creator:
    Qassim, Yousef M.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we explored multiple coding techniques to reduce energy consumption, improve performance, and secure wireless sensor networks specifically and ad-hoc networks in general. With the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies, wireless sensor networks are quickly emerging as an important and key technology in the...

  • 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)...

  • Electra : integrating constraints, condition-based dispatching, and features exclusion into the multiparadigm language Leda

    Creator:
    Zamel, Nabil M.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...

  • A multiprocessor node for communication and control

    Creator:
    Atluri, Venkata Ram
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the design and implementation of "A multiprocessor node for communication and control" (MPCC). MPCC is a high speed, high performance local area network capable of performing real time control tasks. This is achieved by the concurrent operation of two 8051 microcontrollers, a dual port RAM and the...

  • 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...

  • 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...
