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 ...
Galo: guided automated learning for query workload re-optimization
(2018-12-01)
Traditional query optimization techniques often fail when logical subtleties in business queries and schemas circumvent them. Query performance problem determination is typically performed manually in consultation with ...
Modelling and simulating twitching bacteria and phytoglycogen nanoparticles
(2018-08-01)
This thesis covers work conducted on two projects. Each of these projects involve application in the field of biology, and both have been completed through the use of computer simulation techniques. The first project is ...
Temperature dependent structural, electronic and optical properties of the Si(100) surface from first principles
(2019-04-01)
The results presented here were obtained using the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT), within the pseudo-potentials scheme. We present the results of the numerical simulations for the Si ...
StoryTIME: development of a tangible interface for storytelling
(2018-08-01)
The production of 3D digital animated sequences is an iterative process where ideas are scrutinized by members of the production team until they are finalized. Production teams are comprised of many individuals with varying ...
Joint spatial and layer attention for convolutional networks
(2019-05-01)
In this work, we propose a novel approach that learns to sequentially attend to different
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) layers (i.e., “what” feature abstraction to attend to) and different spatial locations of the ...
Modelling the movement of superparamagnetic beads engulfed in endothelial cells
(2018-04-01)
Colonization of porous scaffolds with cells is of increasing importance for various
tissue engineering applications. Controlled placement of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) within a micro-porous, poly-caprolactone ...
Predicting mobile application power consumption
(2018-05-01)
We present an analysis of battery consumption to predict the average consumption rate of any given application. We explain the process and techniques used to gather the data, and present over 25000 readings collected over ...
Multi-character prediction using attention
(2020-01-01)
We propose a computational attention approach to localize and classify characters in a sequence in a given image. Our approach combines spatial soft-attention with attention regularization and learns “where-to-look” to ...
Study of a 2 dimensional aggregation model with non-linear adaptations
(2018-08-01)
In this paper we will explore the impacts on collective animal motion of adding non-linearity to the animals’ turning rate in a 2-dimensional model of aggregation. The model in question was proposed by Fetecau and implements ...
