Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...
Traditional database management systems have been deemed unsuitable for use in the Computer Aided Engineering environment Object-oriented data models with project management features have been proposed as an alternative. The Distributed Hypothetical Storage System is intended to serve as the underlying storage mechanism for an object-oriented data model. The storage...
A final report on activities related to a professional development activity titled, "Professional development in data curation". The Lundeen Award enabled me to attend the ICPSR workshop "Curating and Managing Research Data for Re-Use." The objective was to build professional capacity within OSUL&P that would empower us to achieve our...
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the secret key algorithms used in Cryptography. It is applied in a variety of applications including smart cards, internet web servers, automated teller machines (ATMs), etc. Both hardware and software implementations are taken into consideration while addressing AES algorithms. In addition to reaching...
The need for and problems related to string processing are
discussed and a definition of the term "string" is derived. A
brief review of some existing string processing systems leads
to the presentation of a design for a string processing extension
to the programming language Pascal. A rationale for the...
In an attempt to provide a practical means to measure the information
processing capacity of a real-time digital processing system a
theoretical framework, the Real-Time Schemata, whose basis is a
schematic description and a measure of "useful information," is presented.
The description applies to processes that would typically be
implemented...
The problem addressed is absence of a class of objects in a finite set of objects, which
is investigated by considering absence of a species and absence in relation to a threshold.
Regarding absence of a species, we demonstrate that the assessed probability of absence
of the class of objects...
