  • A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, their Mitigation and Open Problems

    Creator:
    Raj, Abhilash
    Abstract:
    The aim of this thesis is to study past 10 years of security vulnerabilities reported against Linux Kernel and all existing mitigation techniques that prevent the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. To systematically study the security vulnerabilities, they were categorized into classes and sub-classes based on their type. This thesis first...

  • A genetic dominance simulation program and its distribution web site for estimates of population genetic statistics

    Creator:
    Wu, Junyuan
    Abstract:
    In order to aid comparison of estimates of genetic parameters between dominant and codominant makers for population genetics society, we developed a genetic dominance simulation program to determine how the dominance and biallelism could affect the estimation of population genetic statistics. The simulation indicates that genetic diversities within populations based...

  • A rule based approach to program development

    Creator:
    Birjandi, Abbas
    Abstract:
    A rule based transformational model for program development and a metatool based on the above model is presented. The meta-tool can be instantiated to create various program development tools such as tools for building reusable software components, language directed editors, language to language translators, program instrumentation, structured document generator, and...

  • A software package for an intelligent graphic display terminal

    Creator:
    Nelson, Cecil L.
    Abstract:
    A cost reduction analysis is performed by coordinating the exchange of LANDSAT (formerly ERTS) data between a CDC 3300 and a PDP8/L minicomputer. The LANDSAT data is displayed on a 4002 Tektronix terminal by means of a grayscale output. Large amounts of data and number manipulation are processed in the...

  • Action Segmentation with Limited Supervision

    Creator:
    Li, Jun
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we address action segmentation in videos under limited supervision. The goal of action segmentation is to predict an action class for each frame of a video. The limited supervision means ground truth labels of video frames are not available in training. We focus on three types of...

  • Activity recognition in desktop environments

    Creator:
    Shen, Jianqiang
    Abstract:
    Knowledge workers are struggling in the information flood. There is a growing interest in intelligent desktop environments that help knowledge workers organize their daily life. Intelligent desktop environments allow the desktop user to define a set of “activities” that characterize the user’s desktop work. These environments then attempt to identify...

  • Algorithms for massive biological datasets

    Creator:
    Bryant, Douglas W. (Douglas Wesley)
    Abstract:
    Within the past several years the technology of high-throughput sequencing has transformed the study of biology by offering unprecedented access to life's fundamental building block, DNA. With this transformation's potential a host of brand-new challenges have emerged, many of which lend themselves to being solved through computational methods. From de...

  • Analysis of Bayesian anytime inference algorithms

    Creator:
    Burgess, Scott Alan
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores and analyzes the performance of several Bayesian anytime inference algorithms for dynamic influence diagrams. These algorithms are compared on the On-Line Maintenance Agent testbed, a software artifact permitting comparison of dynamic reasoning algorithms used by an agent on a variety of simulated maintenance and monitoring tasks. Analysis...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Anomaly Detection and Probabilistic Diagnosis for Automated Data Quality Control

    Creator:
    Zemicheal, Tadesse H.
    Abstract:
    Advances in sensor technology are greatly expanding the range of quantities that can be measured while simultaneously reducing the cost. However, deployed sensors drift out of calibration and fail, so every sensor network requires quality control procedures to promptly detect these failures. To address these problems, we propose a two-level...
