Achieving Performance Objectives for Database Workloads
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)In this thesis, our goal is to achieve customer-specified performance objectives for workloads in a database management system (DBMS). Competing workloads in current DBMSs have detrimental effects on performance. ... -
Gain-Scheduled Control of a Quadcopter UAV
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-28)In this thesis we develop a gain-scheduled control law for the quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Techniques from linear control theory are introduced and used to construct adaptive proportional and proportional-integral ... -
NOCH: A framework for biologically plausible models of neural motor control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)This thesis examines the neurobiological components of the motor control system and relates it to current control theory in order to develop a novel framework for models of motor control in the brain. The presented framework ... -
Optimal Locations of Sensors and Actuators for Control of a Pedestrian Bridge
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-22)Lightweight structures have been increasing in popularity in structural designs. However, they are more prone to disturbances. Therefore, a controller device can be placed on the structure to control the excessive vibrations. ...
