Resource Allocation, and Survivability in Network Virtualization Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-17)Network virtualization can offer more flexibility and better manageability for the future Internet by allowing multiple heterogeneous virtual networks (VN) to coexist on a shared infrastructure provider (InP) network. A ... -
Resource Management and Tuples in CⱯ
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-01)CⱯ is a modern, non-object-oriented extension of the C programming language. This thesis addresses several critical deficiencies of C, notably: resource management, a limited function-return mechanism, and unsafe variadic ... -
Resource Management for Delivery of Dynamic Information
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Information delivery via the web has become very popular. Along with a growing user population, systems increasingly are supporting content that changes frequently, personalised information, and differentiation and ... -
Resource Management in Softwarized Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-23)Communication networks are undergoing a major transformation through softwarization, which is changing the way networks are designed, operated, and managed. Network Softwarization is an emerging paradigm where software ... -
Resource Management in Virtualized Data Center
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-21)As businesses are increasingly relying on the cloud to host their services, cloud providers are striving to offer guaranteed and highly-available resources. To achieve this goal, recent proposals have advocated to offer ... -
Resource optimization for fault-tolerant quantum computing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-02)Quantum computing offers the potential for efficiently solving otherwise classically difficult problems, with applications in material and drug design, cryptography, theoretical physics, number theory and more. However, ... -
Resource Orchestration in Softwarized Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-24)Network softwarization is an emerging research area that is envisioned to revolutionize the way network infrastructure is designed, operated, and managed today. Contemporary telecommunication networks are going through a ... -
Resource Provisioning for Web Applications under Time-varying Traffic
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-14)Cloud computing has gained considerable popularity in recent years. In this paradigm, an organization, referred to as a subscriber, acquires resources from an infrastructure provider to deploy its applications and pays for ... -
Resource Provisioning in the Electrical Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-21)Transformers and storage systems in the electrical grid must be provisioned or sized just as routers and buffers must be sized in the Internet. We prove the formal equivalence between these two systems and use this insight ... -
Resource-Efficient Communication in the Presence of Adversaries
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-19)This dissertation presents algorithms for achieving communication in the presence of adversarial attacks in large, decentralized, resource-constrained networks. We consider abstract single-hop communication settings where ... -
Restricted String Representations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)A string representation of a graph assigns to every vertex a curve in the plane so that two curves intersect if and only if the represented vertices are adjacent. This work investigates string representations of graphs ... -
Retinotopic Preservation in Deep Belief Network Visual Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)One of the foremost characteristics of the mammalian visual system is the retinotopic mapping observed in the low-level visual processing centres; the spatial pattern of activation in the lateral geniculate nucleus and ... -
Retrieving Supporting Evidence for Generative Question Answering
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)Current large language models (LLMs) can exhibit near-human levels of performance on many natural language-based tasks, including open-domain question answering. Unfortunately, at this time, they also convincingly hallucinate ... -
Revisiting Password Rules: Facilitating Human Management of Passwords
(IEEE, 2016-06)Password rules were established in the context of past security concerns. Recent work in computer security challenges the conventional wisdom of expert password advice, such as change your passwords often, do not reuse ... -
Rhyme, Rhythm, and Rhubarb: Using Probabilistic Methods to Analyze Hip Hop, Poetry, and Misheard Lyrics
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)While text Information Retrieval applications often focus on extracting semantic features to identify the topic of a document, and Music Information Research tends to deal with melodic, timbral or meta-tagged data of songs, ... -
RitHM: A Modular Software Framework for Runtime Monitoring Supporting Complete and Lossy Traces
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)Runtime verification (RV) is an effective and automated method for specification based offline testing as well as online monitoring of complex real-world systems. Firstly, a software framework for RV needs to exhibit certain ... -
RMA: A Pattern Based J2EE Development Tool
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The development process for creating J2EE web applications is complex and tedious, and is thus error prone. The quality of a J2EE web application depends on correctness of code as well as the efficiency and flexibility ... -
RNA Homology Searches Using Pair Seeding
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Due to increasing numbers of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) being discovered recently, there is interest in identifying homologs of a given structured RNA sequence. Exhaustive homology searching for structured RNA molecules using ... -
Road Condition Sensing Using Deep Learning and Wireless Signals
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-14)Similar to human car drivers, future driverless cars need to sense the condition of road surfaces so that they can adjust their speed and distance from other cars. This awareness necessitates the need for a sensing mechanism ... -
Robot Social Engineering
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-06)This thesis establishes the new field of Robot Social Engineering. We define Robot Social Engineering as the use of social abilities and techniques by robots to manipulate others in order to achieve a goal. We build the ...
