Economic Criticality of Ontario’s Highway Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-02)Ontario is the economic center of Canada and hence generates a significant amount of freight activity. Moving forward, population growth coupled with growing and diverse trade strategies are likely to place new and increased ... -
Mining Event Traces from Real-time Systems for Anomaly Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-19)Real-time systems are a significant class of applications, poised to grow even further as autonomous vehicles and the Internet of Things (IoT) become a reality. The computation and communication tasks of the underlying ... -
Noise Robust Keyword Spotting Using Deep Neural Networks For Embedded Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)The recent development of embedded platforms along with spectacular growth in communication networking technologies is driving the Internet of things to thrive. More complex tasks are now possible to operate in small devices ... -
Robustness in Dimensionality Reduction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-14)Dimensionality reduction is widely used in many statistical applications, such as image analysis, microarray analysis, or text mining. This thesis focuses on three problems that relate to the robustness in dimension ... -
The Role of Dominant Cause in Variation Reduction through Robust Parameter Design
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-02)Reducing variation in key product features is a very important goal in process improvement. Finding and trying to control the cause(s) of variation is one way to reduce variability, but is not cost effective or even possible ... -
Strategic and Stochastic Approaches to Modeling the Structure of Multi-Layer and Interdependent Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-12)Examples of complex networks abound in both the natural world (e.g., ecological, social and economic systems), and in engineered applications (e.g., the Internet, the power grid, etc.). The topological structure of such ...
