Discovery Of Application Workloads From Network File Traces
(2011-05-19)
An understanding of Input/Output data access patterns of applications is useful in several situations. First, gaining an insight into what applications are doing with their data at a semantic level helps in designing ...
Analysing Message Sequence Graph Specifications
(2011-03-29)
Message Sequence Charts are a visual representation of the system specification which shows how all the participating processes are interacting with each other. Message Sequence Graphs provide modularity by easily allowing ...
Generalization of Hitting, Covering and Packing Problems on Intervals
(2018-05-29)
Interval graphs are well studied structures. Intervals can represent resources like jobs to be sched-uled. Finding maximum independent set in interval graphs would correspond to scheduling maximum number of non-conflicting ...
Simulation Based Algorithms For Markov Decision Process And Stochastic Optimization
(2010-08-06)
In Chapter 2, we propose several two-timescale simulation-based actor-critic algorithms for solution of infinite horizon Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with finite state-space under the average cost criterion. On the ...
Procurement Network Formation : A Cooperative Game Theoretic Approach
(2009-04-16)
Complex economic activity often involves inter-relationships at several levels of production, often referred to as supply chains or procurement networks. In this thesis we address the problem of forming procurement networks ...
Recovery From DoS Attacks In MIPv6 : Modelling And Validation
(2010-07-26)
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks form a very important category of security threats that are possible in MIPv6 (Mobile Internet Protocol version 6). This thesis proposes a scheme for participants (Mobile Node, Home Agent, ...
Computational Protein Structure Analysis : Kernel And Spectral Methods
(2010-08-24)
The focus of this thesis is to develop computational techniques for analysis of protein structures. We model protein structures as points in 3-dimensional space which in turn are modeled as weighted graphs. The problem of ...
Using Explicit State Space Enumeration For Specification Based Regression Testing
(2010-07-08)
Regression testing of an evolving software system may involve significant challenges. While, there would be a requirement of maximising the probability of finding out if the latest changes to the system has broken some ...
Compiler Assisted Energy Management For Sensor Network Nodes
(2010-08-16)
Emerging low power, embedded, wireless sensor devices are useful for wide range of applications, yet have very limited processing storage and especially energy resources. Sensor networks have a wide variety of applications ...
Learning Algorithms Using Chance-Constrained Programs
(2010-07-08)
This thesis explores Chance-Constrained Programming (CCP) in the context of learning. It is shown that chance-constraint approaches lead to improved algorithms for three important learning problems — classification with ...
