Practical Multi-Interface Network Access for Mobile Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-25)Despite the growing number of mobile devices equipped with multiple networking interfaces, they are not using multiple available networks in parallel. The simple network selection techniques only allow for single network ... -
Practical Routing in Delay-Tolerant Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) have the potential to connect devices and areas of the world that are under-served by traditional networks. The idea is that an end-to-end connection may never be present. To make ... -
Precise Timing of Digital Signals: Circuits and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-15)With the rapid advances in process technologies, the performance of state-of-the-art integrated circuits is improving steadily. The drive for higher performance is accompanied with increased emphasis on meeting timing ... -
Predictable Cache Coherence Protocols for Mixed-Time-Criticality Multi-core Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-18)Modern real-time systems consist of a combination of hard real-time, firm real-time and soft real-time tasks. Hard real-time (HRT) tasks mandate strict timing requirements by requiring that a static timing analysis can be ... -
Predictable Shared Memory Resources for Multi-Core Real-Time Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-18)A major challenge in multi-core real-time systems is the interference problem on the shared hardware components amongst cores. Examples of these shared components include buses, on-chip caches, and off-chip dynamic random ... -
Predicting Student Performance Using Data from an Auto-Grading System
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-25)As online auto-grading systems appear, information obtained from those systems can potentially enable the researchers to create predictive models to predict student behaviour and performances. In University of Waterloo, ... -
Prediction for Projection on Time-Varying Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-20)In spatial augmented reality applications, when video projectors display images on time-varying, non-planar surfaces, rather than on flat, rigid surfaces, undesired image distortion may occur. For applications where realism ... -
Predictive Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease using Diffusion MRI
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-09)Age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), are an increasing cause of concern for the world’s ageing population. The current consensus in the research community is that the main setbacks ... -
Predictive Maintenance of Circuit Breakers
(University of Waterloo, 2007-03-29)For predictive maintenance of circuit breakers, a number of variables must be considered in order to assess the genuine working condition of a circuit breaker [CB]. This thesis selects vibration signatures obtained on the ... -
Predictive Maintenance of Wind Generators based on AI Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-17)As global warming is slowly becoming a dangerous reality, governments and private institutions are introducing policies to minimize it. Those policies have led to the development and deployment of Renewable Energy Sources ... -
Predictive Runtime Verification of Stochastic Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-13)Runtime Verification (RV) is the formal analysis of the execution of a system against some properties at runtime. RV is particularly useful for stochastic systems that have a non-zero probability of failure at runtime. ... -
Preliminary Development of a Microfluidic Tool for the Characterization of Molecular Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-06)Transmembrane proteins cross the membranes of biological cells and perform integral cell functions that often must be described using quantum mechanics. Developing a better understanding of these quantum mechanical behaviours ... -
Pressure Wave Velocity Using High-Frame-Rate Ultrasound Imaging for Urodynamic Study
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-16)Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous urologic condition in aging males where an overgrowth of the prostate gland occurs. It notably leads to lower urinary tract symptoms ranging from inconvenient nocturia ... -
Price Forecasting and Optimal Operation of Wholesale Customers in a Competitive Electricity Market
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-05)This thesis addresses two main issues: first, forecasting short-term electricity market prices; and second, the application of short-term electricity market price forecasts to operation planning of demand-side Bulk ... -
Pricing in a Multiple ISP Environment with Delay Bounds and Varying Traffic Loads
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-15)In this thesis, we study different Internet pricing schemes and how they can be applied to a multiple ISP environment. We first take a look at the current Internet architecture. Then the different classes that make up the ... -
Primary and Secondary Frequency Control Techniques for Isolated Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)Isolated microgrids have been shown to be a reliable and efficient solution to provide energy to remote communities. From the primary control perspective, due to the low system inertia and fast changes in the output power ... -
Primary Frequency Control with Flywheel Energy Storage Technologies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-25)Over the last decade, concerns about greenhouse gas emissions have increased. Different strategies have been developed to minimize those effects, leading to the development of renewable energy sources worldwide. In recent ... -
Prioritized Unit Propagation and Extended Resolution Techniques for SAT Solvers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-29)NP-complete problems like the Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) Problem are ubiquitous in computer science, mathematics, and engineering. Consequently, researchers have developed algorithms such as Conflict-Driven Clause-Learning ... -
