Fault Tolerance of Stochastic Decoders for Error Correcting Codes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-17)Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes are very powerful linear error-correcting codes, first introduced by Gallager in 1963. They are now used in many communication standards due to their ability to achieve near Shannon-capacity ... -
A Fault Tolerant Core for Parallel Execution of Ultra Reduced Instruction Set (URISC) and MIPS Instructions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-13)Modern safety critical systems require the ability to detect and handle situations where an error has occurred. Efficient coding and protection schemes are widely used to protect the communication links and memories of ... -
Fault Tolerant Cryptographic Primitives for Space Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-28)Spacecrafts are extensively used by public and private sectors to support a variety of services. Considering the cost and the strategic importance of these spacecrafts, there has been an increasing demand to utilize strong ... -
Feature Model Synthesis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)Variability provides the ability to adapt and customize a software system's artifacts for a particular context or circumstance. Variability enables code reuse, but its mechanisms are often tangled within a software artifact ... -
Feature Ranking for Text Classifiers
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-18)Feature selection based on feature ranking has received much attention by researchers in the field of text classification. The major reasons are their scalability, ease of use, and fast computation. %, However, compared ... -
Feature selection and artifact removal in sleep stage classification
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The use of Electroencephalograms (EEG) are essential to the analysis of sleep disorders in patients. With the use of electroencephalograms, electro-oculograms (EOG), and electromyograms (EMG), doctors and EEG technician ... -
Feature selection and hierarchical classifier design with applications to human motion recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-21)The performance of a classifier is affected by a number of factors including classifier type, the input features and the desired output. This thesis examines the impact of feature selection and classification problem ... -
Feedback and Cooperation in Wireless Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-18)The demand for wireless data services has been dramatically growing over the last decade. This growth has been accompanied by a significant increase in the number of users sharing the same wireless medium, and as a result, ... -
Fictitious Mean-field Reinforcement Learning for Distributed Load Balancing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)In this work, we study the application of multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) in distributed systems. In particular, we consider a setting in which strategic clients compete over a set of heterogeneous servers. Each ... -
Finding Patterns in Static Analysis Alerts: Improving Actionable Alert Ranking
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-02)Static analysis (SA) tools that find bugs by inferring programmer beliefs (e.g., FindBugs) are commonplace in today’s software industry. While they find a large number of actual defects, they are often plagued by high rates ... -
Fine-grained data access control with attribute-hiding policy for cloud-based IoT
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising approach to achieve fine-grained access control over the outsourced data in Internet of Things (IoT). However, in the existing CP-ABE schemes, the access ... -
Finite Field Multiplier Architectures for Cryptographic Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Security issues have started to play an important role in the wireless communication and computer networks due to the migration of commerce practices to the electronic medium. The deployment of security procedures requires ... -
Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulations of Light Scattering from Retinal Photoreceptors
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-28)Recently, a novel optical imaging technique was successfully used in measuring the functional response of living retinal tissues. The technique, functional ultra high resolution optical coherence tomography, measures ... -
FlaKat: A Machine Learning-Based Categorization Framework for Flaky Tests
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)Flaky tests can pass or fail non-deterministically, without alterations to a software system. Such tests are frequently encountered by developers and hinder the credibility of test suites. Thus, flaky tests have caught the ... -
Flexibility Provisions from Energy Hubs for Sustainable Energy Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Power systems have some inherent level of flexibility built into the system, to meet the continuous mismatches between the supply and demand. Variability and uncertainty are not new to power systems as loads change over ... -
