  • Taskmaster II, a versatile distributed system for control

    Creator:
    Schaal, Hans-Werner
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses a special type of a versatile, distributed control system, the Taskmaster II. It includes a detailed specification of a readily realizable Taskmaster system utilizing a layered communication among units, oriented on the ISO OSI seven layer model. The specification was developed from the analysis of previous research...

  • Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

    Creator:
    Giles, Blake Jensen
    Abstract:
    Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

  • 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...

  • From multitarget tracking to event recognition in videos

    Creator:
    Brendel, William
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses two fundamental problems in computer vision—namely, multitarget tracking and event recognition in videos. These problems are challenging because uncertainty may arise from a host of sources, including motion blur, occlusions, and dynamic cluttered backgrounds. We show that these challenges can be successfully addressed by using a multiscale,...

  • Development and evaluation of X32V

    Creator:
    Hong, Jumnit
    Abstract:
    Embedded processors are utilized in many applications with considerable time spent developing and maintaining functionality and performance. Performance being a key factor in adding features such as video and audio to a product. Configurable processors, such as X32V, allow the addition of functionality and performance without large increases in design...

  • Optimizing performance/watt of embedded SIMD multiprocessors through a priori application guided power scheduling

    Creator:
    Albright, Ryan K.
    Abstract:
    A method for improving performance/watt of an embedded single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) architecture using application-guided a priori scheduling of hardware resources is presented. A multi-core architectural simulator is adopted that accurately estimates power, performance, and utilization of various processor components (logic, interconnect and memory). A greedy search is then performed on...

  • Benchmarking Linux Containers and Virtual Machines

    Creator:
    Mittal, Pranjal
    Abstract:
    In data-centers, running multiple isolated workloads while getting the most performance out of available hardware is key. For many years Virtual Machines (VMs) have been an enabler, but native containers which offer isolation similar to virtual machines while reducing overhead costs associated with emulating hardware resources have become an increasingly...

  • Exploring Intuitive Use

    Creator:
    Cairns, Tylee
    Abstract:
    The term "Intuitive use" has become a common phrase to describe interfaces and products, however it is rarely defined. Research regarding intuitive use is in its infancy, beginning primarily in 2003. With the development of new terms in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction, it is important for Designers and Users...

  • Conceptual modeling architecture and implementation of object-oriented simulation for automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems

    Creator:
    Wang, I-Chien
    Abstract:
    Traditional simulation languages and simulators do not fully support the need to design, modify, and extend simulation models of manufacturing systems, especially, material handling systems. Since AGV systems, one type of automated material handling systems, require complicated control logic, flexible job routings, and frequent layout modifications and extensions to correspond...
