Fault Diagnosis in Enterprise Software Systems Using Discrete Monitoring Data
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-18)Success for many businesses depends on their information software systems. Keeping these systems operational is critical, as failure in these systems is costly. Such systems are in many cases sophisticated, distributed ... -
A Fault Diagnosis System for Rotary Machinery Supported by Rolling Element Bearings
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-22)The failure of rolling element bearings is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotary machinery. So far, a variety of vibration-based techniques have been developed to monitor the condition of bearings; however, the ... -
Fault Driven Supervised Tie Breaking for Test Case Prioritization
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-26)Regression test suites are an excellent tool to validate the existing functionality of an application during the development process. However, they can be large and time consuming to execute, thus making them inefficient ... -
A Fault Injection Tool for Testing Distributed System with Network Faults
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-30)Modern systems are complex, they include hundreds of components that implement complex protocols such as scheduling, replication, membership, resource management, client access, and security. These systems are expected to ... -
Fault Localization in All-Optical Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)Fault management is a challenging task in all-optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. However, fast fault localization for shared risk link groups (SRLGs) with multiple links is essential for building a ... -
Fault Tolerance of Stochastic Decoders for Error Correcting Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-17)Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes are very powerful linear error-correcting codes, first introduced by Gallager in 1963. They are now used in many communication standards due to their ability to achieve near Shannon-capacity ... -
A Fault Tolerant Core for Parallel Execution of Ultra Reduced Instruction Set (URISC) and MIPS Instructions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-13)Modern safety critical systems require the ability to detect and handle situations where an error has occurred. Efficient coding and protection schemes are widely used to protect the communication links and memories of ... -
Fault Tolerant Cryptographic Primitives for Space Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-28)Spacecrafts are extensively used by public and private sectors to support a variety of services. Considering the cost and the strategic importance of these spacecrafts, there has been an increasing demand to utilize strong ... -
Fault Tolerant Multitenant Database Server Consolidation
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Server consolidation is important in situations where a sequence of database tenants need to be allocated (hosted) dynamically on a minimum number of cloud server machines. Given a tenant’s load defined by the amount of ... -
Fault Traces: Civilian Architectural Responses in the Syrian Civil War
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)In the discourse of urban warfare, architecture normally has two roles: it is the object of destruction during fighting, and the object of reconstruction after conflict ends. There is little consideration for a third role ... -
Fear of Guilt in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a significantly impairing anxiety disorder for which the most successful treatment, cognitive behaviour therapy, has 50-60% success rates, taking into account treatment refusals and ... -
Feasibility Analysis of a Powered Lower-Limb Orthotic for the Mobility Impaired User
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Powered orthotic devices can be used to restore mobility to the impaired user, and may thereby assist them in daily living tasks. An investigation is performed herein to examine the feasibility of a powered lower-limb ... -
