Online communication of Public Leisure Services
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-15)Through the assistance of the Internet, public organizations can create lasting relationships with citizens in an individualized and interactive manner. The purpose of this study was to obtain a preliminarily understanding ... -
Online Defect Prediction for Imbalanced Data
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-14)Many defect prediction techniques are proposed to improve software reliability. Change classification predicts defects at the change level, where a change is a collection of the modifications to one file in a commit. In ... -
Online Digital Game-Based Language Learning Environments: Opportunities for Second Language Development
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-07)This dissertation project is an analysis of the language learning processes of 14 learners playing in and interacting with the massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft (WoW) in German in order ... -
Online Learning of Gait Models
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-01)Gait event identification is the identification of gait events (e.g., foot impact) which occur cyclically, at the same location in each gait cycle. Gait event identification plays an important role in many applications, ... -
Online Leisure Communities: The Case of Tennis Enthusiasts
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-13)Online communities represent important virtual spaces “where people come together with others to converse, exchange information or other resources, learn, play, or just be with each other” (Resnick & Kraut, 2011, p. 1). ... -
Online mapping of EMG signals into kinematics by autoencoding
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-13)Background: In this paper, we propose a nonlinear minimally supervised method based on autoencoding (AEN) of EMG for myocontrol. The proposed method was tested against the state-of-the-art (SOA) control scheme using a ... -
Online Monitoring Framework for Pressure Transient Detection in Water Distribution Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-23)Access to potable drinking water is a necessity and basic human right. Most North Americans obtain treated water through water distribution networks, an essential part of municipal infrastructure that is subject to decay ... -
Online Monitoring of Distributed Systems Using Causal Event Patterns
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-11)Event monitoring and logging, that is, recording the communication events between processes, is a critical component in many highly reliable distributed systems. The event logs enable the identification of certain ... -
Online Scheduling of Operator Assistance for Multi-Robot Teams with Uncertain Robot Capabilities and Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-16)In this study, we consider the problem of allocating human operator assistance in a system with multiple autonomous robots. Each robot is assigned with an independent mission, each defined as a sequence of tasks. While ... -
Online Trace Reordering for Efficient Representation of Event Partial Orders
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-20)Distributed and parallel applications not only have distributed state but are often inherently non-deterministic, making them significantly more challenging to monitor and debug. Additionally, a significant challenge ... -
Online Vehicle Subgroup Scheduling for Feature-Level Cooperative Classification
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-28)In future transportation systems, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to operate under complex driving environments without human intervention. Their ability to continuously perceive and understand the surrounding ... -
Only Connect: The Virtual Communities of Gertrude Stein and David Foster Wallace
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)My dissertation compares Modernist imaginations and applications of early radio with Late Postmodernist imaginations and applications of the early internet. The American authors that I focus on and compare in my dissertation ... -
Ontario boreal fire regimes in the context of lightning-caused ignition point spatial patterns
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-20)Lightning-caused forest fires are one of the major natural disturbances in Ontario managed boreal forests. Survival of these forests with fires for centuries shows that such disturbances are integral to the boreal ecosystem ... -
Ontario Snowmobile Tourism: Responses to Climate Variability and Change

(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Archaeological collections are cherished for future educational opportunities, cultural or spiritual reasons and archaeological research. With the ongoing destruction of archaeological sites, the information stored in these ... -
An Ontology-Based Approach To Concern-Specific Dynamic Software Structure Monitoring
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Software reliability has not kept pace with computing hardware. Despite the use reliability improvement techniques and methods, faults remain that lead to software errors and failures. Runtime monitoring can improve ... -
OOMatch: Pattern Matching as Dispatch in Java
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-11)We present a new language feature, specified as an extension to Java. The feature is a form of dispatch, which includes and subsumes multimethods, but which is not as powerful as general predicate dispatch. It is, however, ... -
