Mechanism Design For Strategic Crowdsourcing
(Indian Institute of Science, 2013-12-17)This thesis looks into the economics of crowdsourcing using game theoretic modeling. The art of aggregating information and expertise from a diverse population has been in practice since a long time. The Internet and the ... -
Studies In Automatic Management Of Storage Systems
(2015-11-16)Autonomic management is important in storage systems and the space of autonomics in storage systems is vast. Such autonomic management systems can employ a variety of techniques depending upon the specific problem. In this ... -
Power Efficient Last Level Cache For Chip Multiprocessors
(2015-09-09)The number of processor cores and on-chip cache size has been increasing on chip multiprocessors (CMPs). As a result, leakage power dissipated in the on-chip cache has become very significant. We explore various techniques ... -
Learning Robust Support Vector Machine Classifiers With Uncertain Observations
(2015-08-19)The central theme of the thesis is to study linear and non linear SVM formulations in the presence of uncertain observations. The main contribution of this thesis is to derive robust classfiers from partial knowledge of ... -
Sentiment-Driven Topic Analysis Of Song Lyrics
(2015-08-17)Sentiment Analysis is an area of Computer Science that deals with the impact a document makes on a user. The very field is further sub-divided into Opinion Mining and Emotion Analysis, the latter of which is the basis for ... -
New Approaches And Experimental Studies On - Alegebraic Attacks On Stream Ciphers
(2015-02-05)Algebraic attacks constitute an effective class of cryptanalytic attacks which have come up recently. In algebraic attacks, the relations between the input, output and the key are expressed as a system of equations and ... -
Visual Analysis Of Interactions In Multifield Scientific Data
(2014-11-14)Data from present day scientific simulations and observations of physical processes often consist of multiple scalar fields. It is important to study the interactions between the fields to understand the underlying phenomena. ... -
Rainbow Connection Number Of Graph Power And Graph Products
(2014-09-09)The minimum number of colors required to color the edges of a graph so that any two distinct vertices are connected by at least one path in which no two edges are colored the same is called its rainbow connection number. ... -
A Novel Game Theoretic And Voting Mechanism Based Approach For Carbon Emissions Reduction
(2014-08-07)Global warming is currently a major challenge facing the world. There are widespread ongoing efforts in the form of summits, conferences, etc., to find satisfactory ways of surmounting this challenge. The basic objective ... -
Autonomous Spacecraft Mission Planning And Execution In A Petri Net Framework
(2014-08-01)Presently, most spacecraft are controlled from ground involving activities such as up-linking the schedule of daily operations and monitoring health parameters. These activities lead to a cognitive overload on human ... -
Two Player Game Variant Of The Erdos Szekeres Problem
(2014-08-01)The following problem has been known for its beauty and elementary character. The Erd˝os Szekeres problem[7]: For any integer k ≥ 3, determine if there exists a smallest positive integer N(k) such that any set of atleast ... -
Game Theoretic Models For Social Network Analysis
(2014-08-01)With increasing demand for social network based activities, it is very important to understand not only the structural properties of social networks but also how social networks form, to better exploit their promise and ... -
An Algorithmic Characterization Of Polynomial Functions Over Zpn
(2014-07-04)The problem of polynomial representability of functions is central to many branches of mathematics. If the underlying set is a finite field, every function can be represented as a polynomial. In this thesis we consider ... -
Reliability Modelling Of Whole RAID Storage Subsystems
(2014-06-05)Reliability modelling of RAID storage systems with its various components such as RAID controllers, enclosures, expanders, interconnects and disks is important from a storage system designer's point of view. A model that ... -
