Assessment, Planning and Control of Voltage and Reactive Power in Active Distribution Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Driven by economic, technical and environmental factors, the energy sector is currently undergoing a profound paradigm shift towards a smarter grid setup. Increased intake of Distributed and Renewable Generation (DG) units ... -
Association Pattern Analysis for Pattern Pruning, Clustering and Summarization
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Automatic pattern mining from databases and the analysis of the discovered patterns for useful information are important and in great demand in science, engineering and business. Today, effective pattern mining methods, ... -
Astra Version 1.0: Evaluating Translations from Alloy to SMT-LIB
(2019-06-13)We present a variety of translation options for converting Alloy to SMT-LIB via Alloy’s Kodkod interface. Our translations, which are implemented in a library that we call Astra, are based on converting the set and relational ... -
Asynchronous Joint Source-Channel Communication: An Information-Theoretic Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Due to the increasing growth and demand for wireless communication services, new techniques and paradigms are required for the development of next generation systems and networks. As a first step to better differentiate ... -
An Attack and a Defence in the Context of Hardware Security
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-27)The security of digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) is essential to the security of a computer system that comprises them. We present an improved attack on computer hardware that avoids known defence mechanisms and as such ... -
Attack on WiFi-based Location Services and SSL using Proxy Servers
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-02)Wireless LANs are very common in any household or business today. It allows access to their home or business network and the Internet without using wires. Their wireless nature allows mobility and convenience for the user ... -
Augmenting Vehicle Localization with Visual Context
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Vehicle self-localization, the ability of a vehicle to determine its own location, is vital for many aspects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and telematics where it is often a building block in a more complex ... -
Authentication and Key Exchange in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
