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, ... -
'Oops! I can't believe I did that!' Inducing Errors in a Routine Action Sequence
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-21)‘What was I thinking ?!?’ – No matter age, intelligence or social status, we all experience moments like these. Perhaps it is walking into a room and forgetting what you went there to do or maybe failing to add sugar to ... -
Op Amp Design in Nanoscale Processes Using Fixed-Length Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-10)Analog integrated circuit design has become increasingly difficult in modern fabrication processes. The motivation for digital speed has posed problems for mixed-signal projects that wish to implement digital and analog ... -
OPAC 2000, a new pavement design system

Open Aerial Map, Drones and Archaeology: The implications of using drones to contribute and share aerial data on an open data repository
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-04)The purpose of this research is to determine the potential benefits and challenges of volunteered aerial imagery by looking at OpenAerialMap (OAM) and by presenting how a repository like OAM may be applied in archaeological ... -
Open Data’s Potential for Political History
(Canadian Parliamentary Review, 2014)The recent trend of “open government” initiatives has provided an exciting new source of material for digital humanities researchers. Large datasets allow these scholars to engage in “distant reading” exercises to provide ... -
Open Port Probe Sampling Interface for the Direct Coupling of Biocompatible Solid-Phase Microextraction to Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-04)In recent years, the direct coupling of solid phase microextraction (SPME) and mass spectrometry (MS) has shown its great potential to improve limits of quantitation, accelerate analysis throughput, and diminish potential ... -
Open Shortest Path First Routing Under Random Early Detection
(Wiley, 2018-03-01)In this article, we consider a variant of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing that accounts for Random Early Detection (RED), an Active Queue Management method for backbone networks. In the version of OSPF we consider ... -
Open Source Software Evolution and Its Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis undertakes an empirical study of software evolution by analyzing open source software (OSS) systems. The main purpose is to aid in understanding OSS evolution. The work centers on collecting large quantities ... -
Open Territory
(University of Waterloo, 2015-03-05)Territory, as an incipient design setting, is progressively displacing conventional notions of site within design research and practice, and, with this, the design professions are increasingly exploring their agency as ... -
Open-Ended Problem Solving in Groups
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-08)Previous experimental research on problem-solving has predominantly investigated well-structured problems with predefined solutions. Studies of ill-structured, open-ended problem-solving have primarily employed observational ... -
Open-Innovation in Healthcare: an analysis of motivations, learning, and program outcomes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)The goal of this study is to examine open-innovation programs run in two different healthcare settings. Open innovation is the process of engaging external sources of knowledge and capabilities in the pursuit of developing ... -
Open-Loop Transient Atomic Force Microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-01)The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is an instrument for measuring, in fact “seeing”, phenomena at nanoscale (10^(-9) m) and all the way down to the atomic scale (<10^(-10) m). It was borne out of a need to observe physical ... -
An Open-Source Strategy for Documenting Events: The Case Study of the 42nd Canadian Federal Election on Twitter
(Code4Lib, 2016-04-25)This article examines the tools, approaches, collaboration, and findings of the Web Archives for Historical Research Group around the capture and analysis of about 4 million tweets during the 2015 Canadian Federal Election. ... -
OpenBSD Hardware Sensors — Environmental Monitoring and Fan Control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)This thesis discusses the motivation, origin, history, design guidelines, API, the device drivers and userland utilities of the hardware sensors framework available in OpenBSD. The framework spans multiple utilities in ... -
OpenCMP: An Open-Source Computational Multiphysics Package
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Computational multiphysics offers a safe, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to direct experimentation, but there remain barriers to its widespread use. One such barrier is the generation of conformal meshes of simulation ... -
Operating multi-user transmission for 5G and beyond cellular systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-16)Every decade, a new generation of cellular networks is released to keep up with the ever-growing demand for data and use cases. Traditionally, cellular networks rely on partitioning radio resources into a set of physical ... -
