    • A 2-Approximation for the Height of Maximal Outerplanar Graph Drawings 

      Demontigny, Philippe (University of Waterloo, 2016-08-18)
      In this thesis, we study drawings of maximal outerplanar graphs that place vertices on integer coordinates. We introduce a new class of graphs, called umbrellas, and a new method of splitting maximal outerplanar graphs ...
    • A 2-class maintenance model with dynamic server behavior 

      Granville, Kevin; Drekic, Steve (Springer, 2019-04-29)
      We analyze a 2-class maintenance system within a single-server polling model framework. There are C+f machines in the system, where C is the cap on the number of machines that can be turned on simultaneously (and hence, ...
    • 2-crossing critical graphs with a V8 minor 

      Austin, Beth Ann (University of Waterloo, 2012-01-17)
      The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of pairwise crossings of edges among all planar drawings of the graph. A graph G is k-crossing critical if it has crossing number k and any proper subgraph of G has a ...
    • 2-Semilattices: Residual Properties and Applications to the Constraint Satisfaction Problem 

      Payne, Ian (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-22)
      Semilattices are algebras known to have an important connection to partially ordered sets. In particular, if a partially ordered set $(A,\leq)$ has greatest lower bounds, a semilattice $(A;\wedge)$ can be associated to the ...
    • 3-D Reconstruction from Single Projections, with Applications to Astronomical Images 

      Cormier, Michael (University of Waterloo, 2013-08-23)
      A variety of techniques exist for three-dimensional reconstruction when multiple views are available, but less attention has been given to reconstruction when only a single view is available. Such a situation is normal in ...
    • 3D Online Multi-Object Tracking for Autonomous Driving 

      Balasubramanian, Venkateshwaran (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)
      This research work focuses on exploring a novel 3D multi-object tracking architecture: 'FANTrack: 3D Multi-Object Tracking with Feature Association Network' for autonomous driving, based on tracking by detection and online ...
    • 3D Pointing with Everyday Devices: Speed, Occlusion, Fatigue 

      Pietroszek, Krzysztof (University of Waterloo, 2015-07-24)
      In recent years, display technology has evolved to the point where displays can be both non-stereoscopic and stereoscopic, and 3D environments can be rendered realistically on many types of displays. From movie theatres ...
    • 5-Choosability of Planar-plus-two-edge Graphs 

      Mahmoud, Amena (University of Waterloo, 2018-01-02)
      We prove that graphs that can be made planar by deleting two edges are 5-choosable. To arrive at this, first we prove an extension of a theorem of Thomassen. Second, we prove an extension of a theorem Postle and Thomas. ...
    • 5G RAN/MEC Slicing and Admission Control using Deep Reinforcement Learning 

      Moayyedi, Arash (University of Waterloo, 2023-01-19)
      The 5G RAN functions can be virtualized and distributed across the radio unit (RU), distributed unit (DU), and centralized unit (CU) to facilitate flexible resource management. Complemented by multi-access edge computing ...
    • A+ Indexes: Highly Flexible Adjacency Lists in Graph Database Management Systems 

      Khaliq, Shahid (University of Waterloo, 2019-09-17)
      Adjacency lists are the most fundamental storage structure in existing graph database management systems (GDBMSs) to index input graphs. Adjacency lists are universally linked-list like per-vertex structures that allow ...
    • Abelian, amenable operator algebras are similar to C∗ -algebras 

      Marcoux, Laurent W.; Popov, Alexey I. (Duke University Press, 2016-12)
      Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that ℬ(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C∗-algebra. We do this by showing that if 𝒜⊆ℬ(H) is ...
    • Abstract and Explicit Constructions of Jacobian Varieties 

      Urbanik, David (University of Waterloo, 2018-08-10)
      Abelian varieties, in particular Jacobian varieties, have long attracted interest in mathematics. Their influence pervades arithmetic geometry and number theory, and understanding their construction was a primary motivator ...
    • Accelerating and Privatizing Diffusion Models 

      Dockhorn, Tim (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)
      Diffusion models (DMs) have emerged as a powerful class of generative models. DMs offer both state-of-the-art synthesis quality and sample diversity in combination with a robust and scalable learning objective. DMs rely ...
    • Accelerating the Training of Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Segmentation with Deep Active Learning 

      Chen, Wei Tao (University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)
      Image semantic segmentation is an important problem in computer vision. However, Training a deep neural network for semantic segmentation in supervised learning requires expensive manual labeling. Active learning (AL) ...
    • Access Control Administration with Adjustable Decentralization 

      Chinaei, Amir Hossein (University of Waterloo, 2007-09-12)
      Access control is a key function of enterprises that preserve and propagate massive data. Access control enforcement and administration are two major components of the system. On one hand, enterprises are responsible for ...
    • Accurate viscous free surfaces for buckling, coiling, and rotating liquids 

      Batty, Christopher; Bridson, Robert (Association for Computing Machinery, 2008-07)
      We present a fully implicit Eulerian technique for simulating free surface viscous liquids which eliminates artifacts in previous approaches, efficiently supports variable viscosity, and allows the simulation of more ...
    • Achieving Performance Objectives for Database Workloads 

      Mallampalli, Anusha (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. ...
    • Action of degenerate Bethe operators on representations of the symmetric group 

      Rahman, Sifat (University of Waterloo, 2018-05-24)
      Degenerate Bethe operators are elements defined by explicit sums in the center of the group algebra of the symmetric group. They are useful on account of their relation to the Gelfand-Zetlin algebra and the Young-Jucys-Murphy ...
    • Active Learning with Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines 

      Chinaei, Leila (University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)
      A significant problem in many machine learning tasks is that it is time consuming and costly to gather the necessary labeled data for training the learning algorithm to a reasonable level of performance. In reality, it is ...
    • Active Sensing for Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes 

      Koltunova, Veronika (University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)
      Context information on a smart phone can be used to tailor applications for specific situations (e.g. provide tailored routing advice based on location, gas prices and traffic). However, typical context-aware smart phone ...
