(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)Safety analysis is recognized as a fundamental problem in access control. It has been studied for various access control schemes in the literature. Recent work has proposed an administrative model for Temporal Role-Based ... -
Automated Test Framework For The Wireless Protocol Stack Development
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)Testing plays an important role in the wireless protocol stack development. In order to free the testers out of the shielded chamber, allow both the developers and the testers to use the test systems remotely and maximize ... -
Automatic Document Topic Identification Using Hierarchical Ontology Extracted from Human Background Knowledge
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)The rapid growth in the number of documents available to various end users from around the world has led to a greatly increased need for machine understanding of their topics, as well as for automatic grouping of related ... -
Automatic Driver Fatigue Monitoring Using Hidden Markov Models and Bayesian Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-12)The automotive industry is growing bigger each year. The central concern for any automotive company is driver and passenger safety. Many automotive companies have developed driver assistance systems, to help the driver and ... -
Automatic Loop Nest Parallelization for the Predictable Execution Model
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)Currently, embedded real-time systems still widely use single-core processors. A major challenge in the adoption of multicore processors is the presence of shared hardware resources such as main memory. Contention between ... -
Automatic Recognition and Generation of Affective Movements
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-17)Body movements are an important non-verbal communication medium through which affective states of the demonstrator can be discerned. For machines, the capability to recognize affective expressions of their users and generate ... -
Automatic Refactoring for Renamed Clones in Test Code
(University of Waterloo, 2018-11-21)Unit testing plays an essential role in software development and maintenance, especially in Test-Driven Development. Conventional unit tests, which have no input parameters, often exercise similar scenarios with small ... -
Automating Radiotherapy: Parameterizations of Sensor Time Delay Compensators and the Separation Principle
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Motivated by recent research to automate radiotherapy, this thesis looks into feedback control problems where the feedback sensor imposes considerable time delay. The use of an asymptotic estimator is considered as a ... -
Automation of Sleep Staging
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-21)This thesis primarily covers the automation problem for sleep versus awake detection, which is sometimes accomplished by differentiating the various sleep stages prior to clustering. This thesis documents various experimentation ... -
Autonomous Driving: A Multi-Objective Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Autonomous driving is a challenging domain that entails multiple aspects: a vehicle should be able to drive to its destination as fast as possible while avoiding collision, obeying traffic rules and ensuring the comfort ... -
Autonomous Driving: Mapping and Behavior Planning for Crosswalks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)As autonomous driving integrates with every day traffic, early adopters are initially skeptical and designers are overly cautious. With safety as the top priority, current systems are sometimes too slow at executing maneuvers. ... -
Autonomous Vertical Recovery of Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) prevail in commercial and first responder applications, the need for safer and more consistent recovery methods is growing. Standard aircraft landing manoeuvres are only possible with a ... -
Autoregressive models for text independent speaker identification in noisy environments
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-25)The closed-set speaker identification problem is defined as the search within a set of persons for the speaker of a certain utterance. It is reported that the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifier achieves very high ... -
Availability-Aware Spare Capacity Allocation with Partially Protected Rings
(University of Waterloo, 2008-02-19)This thesis work focuses on designing a survivable IP-core network with the minimal investment of spare capacity. A span-oriented spare capacity allocation (SCA) scheme is proposed to satisfy customers' availability ... -
