Use of partner agents in training systems for complex tasks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Complex tasks are an important part of the world today, but training people to perform complex tasks is difficult. These kinds of tasks usually have variable cognitive loads on the trainee, and, once trained, different ...
Partial state routers: design, analysis and evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The current Internet traffic is distributed in a heavy tailed fashion between Web mice (short web connections which are numerous in number but carry only a small proportion of data) and elephants (long term bulk data flows). ...
An alternative to constant rate link padding for the prevention of traffic analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
As encryption becomes more prevalent across the internet, techniques that can give an attacker information without needing to overcome encryption will become more important. One such technique, traffic analysis, is already ...
A subnet based approach to reducing traffic in peer-to-peer systems
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes the motivation for devising a technique to control the network traffic generated in order to maintain the functioning of a decentralized peer-to-peer system. It details the features and implementation ...
Interactive physically-based cloud simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Clouds play an important role in the depiction of many natural outdoor scenes. Realistic modeling and rendering of such scenes is important for applications in games, military training simulations, flight simulations, and ...
MOPAC: motif finding by preprocessing and agglomerative clustering from microarrays
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
We propose a novel strategy for discovering motifs from gene expression data. The gene expression data comes from DNA microarray analysis of the bacterium E. coli in response to recovery from nutrient starvation. We have ...
Fair capacity sharing of multiple aperiodic servers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
For handling multiple aperiodic tasks with different temporal requirements, multiple aperiodic servers are used. Since capacity is partitioned statically among the multiple servers, they suffer from heavy capacity exhaustions. ...
Delayed response protocols for high-delay wireless networks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Wireless networks have become more prevalent over the last few years. These networks introduce different types of errors, which are due to the unpredictable nature of the wireless channel. The congestion control algorithms ...
High performance parallel algorithms for incompressible flows
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The generalized Stokes problem, which arises frequently in the simulation of Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flow, gives rise to symmetric linear system of equations. These systems are indefinite because ...
Anti-eavesdropping communication layer to protect against traffic analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this thesis, we present unicast and multicast protocols to resist eavesdropping and traffic profiling of group communications. At the application layer, we propose a secret-sharing approach for the exchange of shared ...
