  • The logical design of the NEBULA computer

    Creator:
    Boles, John Amos
    Abstract:
    Research in digital computers takes two paths: one uses the computer as a tool to reach certain objectives; on the other, the computer itself is the object of research. The NEBULA computer was built with the latter in mind. The system design and logical design are described here in detail....

  • Understanding and improving error-correcting output coding

    Creator:
    Kong, Eun Bae
    Abstract:
    Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for converting a k-classsupervised learning problem into a large number L of two-class supervised learningproblems and then combining the results of these L evaluations. Previous researchhas shown that ECOC can dramatically improve the classi cation accuracy of supervisedlearning algorithms that learn to classify...

  • Learning hierarchical decomposition rules for planning : an inductive logic programming approach

    Creator:
    Reddy, Chandrasekhara K.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning techniques have been central to automating a gamut of tasks from the mundane route planning and beer production to the ethereal image processing of space-ship images. Of all the planning techniques, hierarchical- decomposition planning has been the technique most employed in industrial-strength planners. Hierarchical-decomposition planning is...

  • Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

    Creator:
    Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
    Abstract:
    This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

  • 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...

  • Jamming Attack Resiliency and Performance Analysis of Cognitive Radio Communication Networks

    Creator:
    Adem, Nadia
    Abstract:
    Cognitive radio technology emerges as a promising solution for overcoming shortage and inefficient use of spectrum resources. In cognitive radio networks, secondary users, which are users equipped with cognitive radios, can opportunistically access spectrum assigned to primary users, the spectrum license holders. Although it improves spectrum utilization efficiency, this opportunistic...

  • Design Techniques of High-Speed Silicon Photonics Transceiver

    Creator:
    Li, Hao
    Abstract:
    The rapid scaling of network bandwidth and data center throughput has motivated the wide adoption of high speed transceivers. Silicon photonics (Si-Photonic) is one of the most promising techniques to realize tightly integrated optical transceivers for next-generation high speed I O standards. This dissertation focuses on the design techniques of...

  • Leveraging Generated Tests

    Creator:
    Alipour, Mohammad Amin
    Abstract:
    The main goal of automated test generation is to improve the reliability of a program by exposing faults to developers. To this end, testing should cover the largest possible portion of the program given a test budget (i.e., time and resources) as frequently as possible. Coverage of a program entity...

  • Understanding Software Development and Testing Practices

    Creator:
    Hilton, Michael
    Abstract:
    A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes. The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...

  • Monte Carlo Tree Search with Fixed and Adaptive Abstractions

    Creator:
    Hostetler, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a class of online planning algorithms for Markov decision processes (MDPs) and related models that has found success in challenging applications. In the online planning approach, the agent makes a decision in the current state by performing a limited forward search over possible futures...
