A Framework for Quantifying Suburban Parking Maxima
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-25)The provision and pricing of parking are recognized as important tools for achieving transportation demand management (TDM) objectives. Much of the existing literature on the topic concentrates on downtown cores and calls ... -
A Framework for Records Management in Relational Database Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-14)The problem of records retention is often viewed as simply deleting records when they have outlived their purpose. However, in the world of relational databases there is no standardized notion of a business record and its ... -
A Framework for Resource Allocation in Time Critical Dynamic Environments Based on Social Welfare and Local Search and its Application to Healthcare
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-14)This thesis provides an artificial intelligence approach for the problem of resource allocation in time-critical dynamic environments. Motivated by healthcare scenarios such as mass casualty incidents, we are concerned ... -
Framework for Scheduling, Controlling, and Delivery Planning for Scattered Repetitive Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-07)Public-Sector organizations such as School Boards and Universities are faced with significant challenges to keep their aging facilities operational and reducing the large backlog in infrastructure renewal needs. The cost ... -
A Framework for Software Component Interface Specification and Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Although markets are emerging for commercial off-the-shelf components (such as Sun JavaBeans), there are many barriers to widespread component adoption. This is due to the inherent `black-box' nature of software ... -
A Framework for the Generation of Textures Representing Time-Dependent Changes in the Appearance of Dust Layers
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-19)The perception of realism in computer generated images can be significantly enhanced by subtle visual cues. Among those, one can highlight the presence of dust on synthetic objects, which is often subject to temporal ... -
A Framework for the Self-Configuration of Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)The use of wireless radio technology is well established for narrowband access systems, but its use for broadband access is relatively new. Wireless mesh architecture is a first step towards providing high-bandwidth wireless ... -
Framework for the Strategic Management of Dimensional Variability of Structures in Modular Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-01)Challenges in construction related to dimensional variability exist because producing components and assemblies that have perfect compliance to dimensions and geometry specified in a design is simply not feasible. The ... -
A Framework to Simulate and Improve Terahertz Quantum Well Photodetectors
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)A wide range of applications have been recognized for terahertz radiations. In fact, medical imaging, homeland security screening, very high-speed wireless telecommunications systems and even drug and gas detection are ... -
Framework-Specific Modeling Languages
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Framework-specific modeling languages (FSMLs) help developers build applications based on object-oriented frameworks. FSMLs formalize abstractions and rules of the framework's application programming interfaces (APIs) and ... -
Frameworks for Quantum Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-26)Due to the difficulty of constructing new quantum algorithms, frameworks that facilitate this construction are of great importance in quantum computing. These frameworks reduce the problem of coming up with a quantum ... -
Framing the issue of climate change, the beliefs of Canadian environmental non-government organizations and the energy industry

Framing Urban Resilience: A policy and media analysis of three Canadian Cities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Urban Resilience, generally understood as the capability to withstand, prepare, and recover from shocks and stresses (100RC, n.d.-b), has risen in popularity as a means of dealing with change and uncertainty in cities. ... -
The Free Self: What Separates Us From Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-29)Could a machine ever achieve consciousness? Will it ever make sense to hold a machine morally responsible? In this thesis, I argue that the architecture of SPAUN - the largest WIP functioning brain model currently in ... -
Free semigroup algebras and the structure of an isometric tuple
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-28)An n-tuple of operators V=(V_1,…,V_n) acting on a Hilbert space H is said to be isometric if the corresponding row operator is an isometry. A free semigroup algebra is the weakly closed algebra generated by an isometric ... -
Free Space Quantum Key Distribution to Moving Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)The quantum space age has officially begun and many important milestones and achievements have recently been demonstrated, such as the exciting launch and results of the first quantum demonstration satellite, Micius. ... -
