Designing a Unity Plugin to Predict Expected Affect in Games Using Biophilia
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-28)Video games can generate different emotional states and affective reactions, but it can sometimes be difficult for a game’s visual designer to predict the emotional response a player might experience when designing a game ... -
Designing Efficient Algorithms for Combinatorial Repairable Threshold Schemes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-23)Repairable secret sharing schemes are secret sharing schemes where, without the original dealer who distributed the shares, the participants can combine information from their shares to perform a computation that ... -
Designing Gunslinger: An Intermodal Large Display Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)In this thesis, we introduce Gunslinger, a mid-air barehand interaction technique using hand postures to trigger command modes and small finger and hand movements for events and parameter control. Unlike past work, Gunslinger ... -
Designing Intelligent Systems to Support Workspace Collaboration
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-06)Complex problems and interprofessional work require more resources to be involved, which has been possible through collaboration. Collaborative work is evolving from physical collaboration to more virtual forms through ... -
Designing Persuasive Technology to Reduce Peak Electricity Demand in Ontario Homes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-20)When it comes to environmental sustainability, the time that electricity is consumed matters. For example, using an air conditioner on a hot summer afternoon as the power grid is strained necessitates the use of more ... -
Designing Persuasively using Playful Elements
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-14)Alongside productivity and communication, computers are a valuable tool for diversion and amusement. Game Designers leverage the multifaceted world of computing to create applications that can be developed persuasively; ... -
Designing Survivable Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-18)This thesis focuses on the survivable routing problem in WDM mesh networks where the objective is to minimize the total number of wavelengths used for establishing working and protection paths in the WDM networks. The past ... -
Desired Features and Design Methodologies of Secure Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols in the Public-Key Infrastructure Setting
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The importance of an authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol has long been known in the field of cryptography. Two of the questions still being asked today are (1) what properties or features does a secure AKE ... -
Detectability of Singularly Perturbed Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2005)A form of detectability, known as the input-output-to-state stability property, for singularly perturbed systems is examined in this work. This work extends the result of a paper by Christofides & Teel wherein they ... -
Detecting an Odd Hole
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-02)We give a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a graph contains an induced cycle with length more than three and odd. -
Detecting and distinguishing transitions in ecological systems: model and data-driven approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)There exists a plethora of systems that have the capacity to undergo sudden transitions that result in a significantly different state or dynamic. Consider the collapse of fisheries, outbreak of disease or transition to a ... -
Detecting Exploitable Vulnerabilities in Android Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-27)The world is moving towards remote-first and giving rise to many mobile tools and applications to get the work done. As more applications are moving towards the cloud and therefore require remote access, the attack surface ... -
Detecting Feature-Interaction Hotspots in Automotive Software using Relational Algebra
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-14)Modern software projects are programmed by multiple teams, consist of millions of lines of code, and are split into separate components that, during runtime, may not be contained in the same process. Due to these complexities, ... -
Detecting Feature-Interaction Symptoms in Automotive Software Using Lightweight Analysis
(IEEE, 2019-02)Modern automotive software systems are large, com- plex, and feature rich; they can contain over 100 million lines of code, comprising hundreds of features distributed across multiple electronic control units (ECUs), all ... -
Detecting Hand-Ball Events in Video
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)We analyze videos in which a hand interacts with a basketball. In this work, we present a computational system which detects and classifies hand-ball events, given the trajectories of a hand and ball. Our approach is to ... -
Detecting Network Intrusions from Authentication Logs
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)Recently, network infiltrations due to advanced persistent threats (APTs) have grown significantly, resulting in considerable loses to businesses and organizations. APTs are stealthy attacks with the primary objective of ... -
Detecting Test Clones with Static Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Large-scale software systems often have correspondingly complicated test suites, which are diffi cult for developers to construct and maintain. As systems evolve, engineers must update their test suite along with changes ... -
Detecting Vulnerable JavaScript Libraries in Hybrid Android Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-15)Smartphone devices are very popular. There are a lot of devices being sold, a lot of applications that are created and a lot of people using those applications. However, mobile applications could only be created in the ... -
Detection of Feature Interactions in Automotive Active Safety Features
