(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-22)Theodor Fontane’s famous novel Effi Briest (1895) has been widely discussed in secondary literature, and every single aspect of the novel’s complex content and style seems to have been analysed; however, the similarities ... -
Das Wissenschaftskollektiv in den Romanen "Respektloser Umgang" und "Im Schatten des Regenbogens" von Helga Königsdorf
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-27)The author Helga Königsdorf, a scientist herself, deals in several of her literary works with the situation of the scientist in the GDR. The aim of this thesis is to explore the image of the scientist within the two novels ... -
DASE: Document-Assisted Symbolic Execution for Improving Automated Test Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-17)Software testing is crucial for uncovering software defects and ensuring software reliability. Symbolic execution has been utilized for automatic test generation to improve testing effectiveness. However, existing test ... -
Dash+: Extending Alloy with Hierarchical States and Replicated Processes for Modelling Transition Systems
(IEEE, 2021-09)Modelling systems abstractly shows great promise to uncover bugs early in system development. The formal language Alloy provides the means of writing constraints abstractly, but lacks explicit constructs for describing ... -
Dash+: Extending Alloy with Replicated Processes for Modelling Transition Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-27)Modelling systems abstractly shows great promise to uncover bugs early in system development. The formal language Alloy provides the means of writing constraints abstractly but lacks explicit constructs for describing ... -
DASH: A New Language for Declarative Behavioural Requirements with Control State Hierarchy
(IEEE, 2017-09-04)We present DASH, a new language for describing formal behavioural models of requirements. DASH combines the ability to write abstract, declarative transitions (as in Z or Alloy) with a labelled control state hierarchy (as ... -
Dash: Declarative Behavioural Modelling in Alloy
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)An abstract model is a representation of the fundamental characteristics and properties of a system, and its purpose is to provide feedback to stakeholders about the correctness of the system during the early stages of ... -
Dash: declarative behavioural modelling in Alloy with control state hierarchy
(Springer Nature, 2023-04)We present Dash, an extension to the Alloy language to model dynamic behaviour using the labelled control state hierarchy of Statecharts. From Statecharts, Dash borrows the concepts to specify hierarchy, concurrency, and ... -
DASH: Declarative Modelling with Control State Hierarchy (Preliminary Version)
(University of Waterloo, 2018)We present a new language, called DASH, for describing formal behavioural models. DASH combines common modelling constructs to describe abstractly both data and control in an integrated manner. DASH uses the Alloy language ... -
Data Analysis Protocol for the Development and Evaluation of Population Pharmacokinetic Models for Incorporation Into the Web-Accessible Population Pharmacokinetic Service - Hemophilia (WAPPS-Hemo)
(JMIR Publications, 2016-12-07)Background: Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in a specific clotting factor. This results in spontaneous bleeding episodes and eventual arthropathy. The mainstay of hemophilia treatment ... -
Data Augmentation For Text Classification Tasks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-12)Thanks to increases in computing power and the growing availability of large datasets, neural networks have achieved state of the art results in many natural language process- ing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) tasks. ... -
Data Balancing and Hyper-parameter Optimization for Machine Learning Algorithms for Secure IoT Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Nowadays, many industries rely on Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and their ability to learn from existing data to make inferences about new unlabeled data. Applying ML algorithms to the network security domain is not ... -
Data Depth Inference for Difficult Data
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-18)We explore various ways in which a robust, nonparametric statistical tool, the data depth function can be used to conduct inference on data which could be described as difficult. This can include data which are difficult ... -
Data Driven Efficiency for E-Warehousing: Descriptive and Prescriptive Analytics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-18)Based on data provided by a warehouse logistics management company, we analyze the warehousing operation and its major processes of order picking and order consolidation. Without access to the actual layouts and process ... -
