(2012-04-11)Department: Computer ScienceWith demand for high-performance computing at an all-time high, especially from the scientific/numerical analysis community, leveraging the power of existing heterogeneous architectures has become increasingly desirable. ...
-
(2022-05-19)Department: Computer ScienceStructural variant detection is an important problem in the field of computational genomics. Structural Variants (SVs) involve long DNA disruptions (e.g. insertions or deletions of more than 50 base pairs), and they are ...
-
(2011-04-01)Department: Computer ScienceA unique challenge in P2P network is that the peer dynamics (departure or failure) cause unavoidable disruption to the downstream peers. While many works have been dedicated to consider fault resilience in peer selection, ...
-
(2022-11-18)Department: Computer ScienceMachine learning with deep neural networks has been ubiquitous in solving various real-world problems with distinct human inputs, such as images, natural language, speech, and motion. As deep learning technology transitions ...
-
(2015-07-23)Department: Computer ScienceSecure multiparty computation (SMC) focuses on solving the problem of how two or more parties can jointly compute the result of a function without disclosing their private input. One approach to achieving SMC is a garbled ...
-
(2005-12-02)Department: Computer SciencePerformance-critical distributed systems, especially the distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems, have been proliferating in the past few decades. Designing and implementing DRE systems is significantly challenging ...
-
(2013-12-12)Department: Computer ScienceAutomated code-generators are increasingly becoming the workhorses in model-based development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Significant model-driven tools have emerged incorporating advanced model-checking methods that ...
-
(2007-04-17)Department: Computer ScienceSoftware design for large-scale distributed systems requiring multiple Quality of Service (QoS) properties is increasingly moving away from traditional, stove-piped, "build-from-scratch" architectures to modern, ...
-
(2007-09-24)Department: Computer ScienceAlthough distributed object computing (DOC) middleware, such as the Common Object Request Broker (CORBA) and Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), were a significant improvement over prior middleware for developing distributed ...
-
Model-driven Fault-Tolerance Provisioning for Component-based Distributed Real-time Embedded Systems (2010-10-19)Department: Computer ScienceDeveloping distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems require effective strategies to simultaneously handle the challenges of networked systems, enterprise systems, and embedded systems. Component-based model is ...
-
(2011-04-07)Department: Computer ScienceReconfigurable conveyors are increasingly being adopted in multiple industrial sectors for their immense flexibility in adapting to new products and product lines. Before modifying the layout of the conveyor system for the ...
-
(2018-09-20)Department: Computer ScienceOpen-Ended Learning Environments (OELEs) describe a class of environments that provide students with learning goals that are usually in the form of complex problem-solving and model-building tasks. OELEs also scaffold ...
-
(2009-04-08)Department: Computer ScienceFormal modeling and analysis methods hold great promise to help further discovery and innovation for biochemical systems. Domain experts from physicians to chemical engineers can use computational modeling and analysis ...
-
(2023-07-19)Department: Computer SciencePartial differential equations (PDEs) have been widely used to describe a wide range of phenomena such as fluid dynamics and quantum mechanics and classical numerical methods express their limitation dealing with PDEs. Due ...
-
(2020-09-16)Department: Computer ScienceThis dissertation studies models of graph classes. We explore how models can be used to define new graph classes that either generalize or combine multiple properties. Further, we examine when and how such properties can ...
