Problem-Resolution Dissemination
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-23)The current problem-solving paradigm for software developers revolves around using a search engine to find knowledge about the problem and its solutions. This approach provides the developer with search results that are ... -
Problems in Cloud Security, Access Control and Logic Locking
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-22)In this thesis, we study problems related to security in three different contexts: cloud scheduling, access control, and logic locking to protect digital ICs. The first set of problems relates to security in cloud ... -
Problems in Combinatorial and Analytic Number Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-01)We focus on three problems in number theory. The first problem studies the random Fibonacci tree, which is an infinite binary tree with non-negative integers at each node. The root consists of the number 1 with a single ... -
Problems Related to Shortest Strings in Formal Languages
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-11)In formal language theory, studying shortest strings in languages, and variations thereof, can be useful since these strings can serve as small witnesses for properties of the languages, and can also provide bounds for ... -
