Methodology For Modeling High Performance Distributed And Parallel Systems, Rakesh Kushwaha
Methodology For Modeling High Performance Distributed And Parallel Systems, Rakesh Kushwaha
Dissertations
Performance modeling of distributed and parallel systems is of considerable importance to the high performance computing community. To achieve high performance, proper task or process assignment and data or file allocation among processing sites is essential. This dissertation describes an elegant approach to model distributed and parallel systems, which combines the optimal static solutions for data allocation with dynamic policies for task assignment. A performance-efficient system model is developed using analytical tools and techniques.
The system model is accomplished in three steps. First, the basic client-server model which allows only data transfer is evaluated. A prediction and evaluation method is …
A Comprehensive Part Model And Graphical Schema Representation For Object-Oriented Databases, Michael H. Halper
A Comprehensive Part Model And Graphical Schema Representation For Object-Oriented Databases, Michael H. Halper
Dissertations
Part-whole modeling plays an important role in the development of database schemata in data-intensive application domains such as manufacturing, design, computer graphics. text document processing, and so on. Object-oriented databases (OODBs) have been targeted for use in such areas. Thus, it is essential that OODBs incorporate a part relationship as one of their modeling primitives. In this dissertation, we present a comprehensive OODB part model which expands the boundaries of OODB part-whole modeling along three fronts. First, it identifies and codifies new semantics for the OODB part relationship. Second, it provides two novel realizations for part relationships and their associated …
Morphological Operations In Image Processing And Analysis, Chamim Christopher Pu
Morphological Operations In Image Processing And Analysis, Chamim Christopher Pu
Dissertations
Morphological operations applied in image processing and analysis are becoming increasingly important in today's technology. Morphological operations which are based on set theory, can extract object features by suitable shape (structuring elements). Morphological filters are combinations of morphological operations that transform an image into a quantitative description of its geometrical structure which based on structuring elements. Important applications of morphological operations are shape description, shape recognition, nonlinear filtering, industrial parts inspection, and medical image processing.
In this dissertation, basic morphological operations are reviewed, algorithms and theorems are presented for solving problems in distance transformation, skeletonization, recognition, and nonlinear filtering. A …
Medium Access Control Mechanisms For High Speed Metropolitan Area Networks, Michail Papamichail
Medium Access Control Mechanisms For High Speed Metropolitan Area Networks, Michail Papamichail
Dissertations
In this dissertation novel Medium Access Control mechanisms for High Speed Metropolitan Area networks are proposed and their performance is investigated under the presence of single and multiple priority classes of traffic. The proposed mechanisms are based on the Distributed Queue Dual Bus network, which has been adopted by the IEEE standardization committee as the 802.6 standard for Metropolitan Area Networks, and address most of its performance limitations. First, the Rotating Slot Generator scheme is introduced which uses the looped bus architecture that has been proposed for the 802.6 network. According to this scheme the responsibility for generating slots moves …
Distances Associated With Subgraphs And Subdigraphs, Steven John Winters
Distances Associated With Subgraphs And Subdigraphs, Steven John Winters
Dissertations
The defining properties of several important subgraphs and subdigraphs rely on the concept of distance in graphs and digraphs. In this dissertation, we investigate many of these subgraphs and subdigraphs.
In Chapter I, we present some preliminary definitions and examples. In addition, many known results are recalled. We then introduce several new induced subgraphs and subdigraphs.
In Chapter n, we investigate the general structure of the center and periphery of a graph. We introduce two new induced subgraphs of the center along with a new induced subgraph of the periphery of a graph in order to study these structures.
For …
Algorithms For Generation Of Path-Methods In Object-Oriented Databases, Ashish Mehta
Algorithms For Generation Of Path-Methods In Object-Oriented Databases, Ashish Mehta
Dissertations
A path-method is a mechanism in object-oriented databases (OODBs) to retrieve or to update information relevant to one class that is not stored with that class but with some other class. A path-method is a method which traverses from one class through a chain of connections between classes to access information at another class. However, it is a difficult task for a user to write path-methods, because it might require comprehensive knowledge of many classes of the conceptual schema, while a typical user has often incomplete or even inconsistent knowledge of the schema.
This dissertation proposes an approach to the …
Dmodel And Dalgebra : A Data Model And Algebra For Office Documents, Fortune Solani Mhlanga
Dmodel And Dalgebra : A Data Model And Algebra For Office Documents, Fortune Solani Mhlanga
Dissertations
This dissertation presents a data model (called D_model) and an algebra (called D_ algebra) for office documents. The data model adopts a very natural view of modeling office documents. Documents are grouped into classes; each class is characterized by a "frame template", which describes the properties (or attributes) for the class of documents. A frame template is instantiated by providing it with values to form a "frame instance" which becomes the synopsis of the document of the class associated with the frame template. Different frame instances can be grouped into a folder. Therefore, a folder is a set of frame …
Megsdf Mega-System Development Framework, Tamar Zemel
Megsdf Mega-System Development Framework, Tamar Zemel
Dissertations
A framework for developing large, complex software systems, called Mega-Systems, is specified. The framework incorporates engineering, managerial, and technological aspects of development, concentrating on an engineering process. MegSDF proposes developing Mega-Systems as open distributed systems, pre-planned to be integrated with other systems, and designed for change.
At the management level, MegSDF divides the development of a Mega-System into multiple coordinated projects, distinguishing between a meta-management for the whole development effort, responsible for long-term, global objectives, and local managements for the smaller projects, responsible for local, temporary objectives.
At the engineering level, MegSDF defines a process model which specifies the tasks …

Computational Neural Networks In Chemistry: Model Free Mapping Devices For Predicting Chemical Reactivity From Molecular Structure, David Wayne Elrod
Computational Neural Networks In Chemistry: Model Free Mapping Devices For Predicting Chemical Reactivity From Molecular Structure, David Wayne Elrod
Dissertations
Computational neural networks (CNNs) are a computational paradigm inspired by the brain’s massively parallel network of highly interconnected neurons. The power of computational neural networks derives not so much from their ability to model the brain as from their ability to learn by example and to map highly complex, nonlinear functions, without the need to explicitly specify the functional relationship. Two central questions about CNNs were investigated in the context of predicting chemical reactions: (1) the mapping properties of neural networks and (2) the representation of chemical information for use in CNNs.
Chemical reactivity is here considered an example of …
A Critical Examination Of The Use Of Preliminary Tests In Two-Sample Tests Of Location, Kimberly Tucker Perry
A Critical Examination Of The Use Of Preliminary Tests In Two-Sample Tests Of Location, Kimberly Tucker Perry
Dissertations
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the appropriateness of testing the equality of two means using either a t test, the Welch test, or the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for two independent samples based on the results of using two classes of preliminary tests. One class of preliminary tests determines whether the population variances differ, and the other class ascertains if the underlying distributions are symmetric or skewed. The F-ratio test and the Levene test (using the median) were compared as preliminary tests for variance homogeneity; and the DAgostino Sy and the Triples tests were also compared as preliminary tests …

Maximal And Maximum Independent Sets In Graphs, Jiuqiang Liu
Maximal And Maximum Independent Sets In Graphs, Jiuqiang Liu
Dissertations
A maximal independent set of a graph G is an independent set which is not contained properly in any other independent set of G. An independent set is called maximum if it is of largest cardinality. Denote i(G) to be the number of maximal independent sets of G. These special sets and the parameter i(G) have interested many researchers leading to a number of properties and results. One of these is the determination of the maximum number of maximal independent sets among all graphs of order n, and the external graphs. In this investigation,we develop new properties for …
Common Moment Sets Of Complementary Graphs, Hang Chen
Common Moment Sets Of Complementary Graphs, Hang Chen
Dissertations
Two sequences of nonnegative integers have the k^th common moment if they have equal sums of k^th powers. We intend to study common moment sets of the degree sequences of complementary graphs, and similarly, of the score sequences of complementary tournaments.
In Chapter I, we first study common moment sets of arbitrary sequences of nonnegative integers. Some basic concepts are introduced. The relations between characteristic functions and initial common moments are discovered. We extend Hua’s discussion of the Tarry-Escott problem. We conclude that any finite subset of nonnegative integers can be a common moment set of some sequences, and conversely, …
A Progressive Disease Model For Doubly-Censred Bivariate Survival Data That Accommodates Covariate Information, Hilmi F. Yahya
A Progressive Disease Model For Doubly-Censred Bivariate Survival Data That Accommodates Covariate Information, Hilmi F. Yahya
Dissertations
A model for the natural history of a progressive disease is developed. The model has three disease states and can be expressed as the joint distribution of two survival random variables.
Covariate information is incorporated into the model using the proportional hazards model for the marginal distributions. The model will also accommodate data with observations which are censored on one or both of the survival random variables.
The likelihood function for censored data is exhibited for finding the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters and their standard errors for testing the effects of the covariates. The method used to obtain …
