CBPsp: complex business processes for stream processing
(2011-04-01)
This thesis presents the framework of a complex business process driven event
stream processing system to produce meaningful output with direct implications to the
business objectives of an organization. This framework is ...
Dynamic square patterns in two dimensional neural fields
(2015-07-29)
The goal of this thesis is to study the emergence of spatiotemporal waves in neural field models. Neural field models aim to describe the activity of populations of neurons at a mesoscopic scale, considering averaged ...
Towards measuring privacy
(2015-04-01)
The acceptable threshold for privacy is an individual choice, informed by culture, tradition and experience. That it is important, conversely, is self-evident. We use it to moderate personal information disclosure, how ...
Cognitive function during exertional heat stress assessed using traditional and serious game technology
(2016-06-01)
Firefighting is a physically demanding occupation requiring intermittent bouts of work resulting in increased levels of cardiovascular and thermal strain, while making decisions requiring higher order cognitive abilities ...
TandemTable: Supporting Conversations and Language Learning Using a Multi-Touch Digital Table
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-06-03)
We present TandemTable, a multi-touch tabletop system designed to break down communication barriers between partners, with a special focus on supporting those who are learning languages. The design was guided by a grounding ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
CORE: a framework for the automatic repair of concurrency bugs
(2015-01-01)
Desktop computers now contain 2, 4 or even 8 processors. To benefit from them programs must be written to work in parallel. If writing good code is hard, writing good parallel code is much harder. Parallelization adds ...
Dynamic probabilistic network protection in large-scale failure scenarios
(2015-01-01)
Large-scale failure resulting from natural disasters or intentional attacks is now considered a serious risk for communication network infrastructure. In these events, simultaneous damages in several links and nodes may ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes cognitive function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals
(2017-12-01)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients ...
Progressive Learning of Topic Modeling Parameters: A Visual Analytics Framework
(IEEE, 2017-08-29)
Topic modeling algorithms are widely used to analyze the thematic composition of text corpora but remain difficult to interpret and adjust. Addressing these limitations, we present a modular visual analytics framework, ...
