Leveraging Software-Defined Networking to Mask Partial Network Partitions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-11)We present an extensive study focused on partial network partitioning. Partial network partitions disrupt the communication between some but not all nodes in a cluster. First, we conduct a comprehensive study of system ... -
Leveraging the Proteus Effect to Motivate Emotional Support in a Serious Game for Mental Health
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-11)Researchers have explored how online communities can be leveraged for peer support, but general disinterest and a lack of engagement have emerged as substantial barriers to their use in practice. To address this gap, we ... -
Leveraging Transmedia Communication Strategies to Improve Engagement and Foster Collaboration in Citizen-Science Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2017)Citizen science is the term used for the practice of harnessing non-expert, volunteer efforts to further scientific research using a crowdsourcing approach to collect, record, and analyze data and to fulfill other task ... -
Leveraging Watermarks to Improve Performance of Streaming Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)Modern stream processing engines (SPEs) process large volumes of events propagated at high velocity through multiple queries. By continuously receiving watermarks, which are marker events injected into the stream to signify ... -
LEVI: Exploring Possibilities for an Adaptive Board Game System
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-08-03)Visual impairment can create accessibility barriers for players in board games because information about the gameplay is often communicated through visuals. We present LEVI, a standalone adaptive board game system (ABGs) ... -
