non-peer-reviewed

New technologies are creating opportunities for online assessment not previously available to K-12 level teachers. However, most research into this particular aspect of education has focused on university level assessment. This case study placed online assessment into the context of an Irish fourth class primary classroom. To achieve this, focus was put on a comparison between immediate and delayed feedback for online tests. This particular comparison was selected in an attempt to better understand how and when feedback should be provided for frequent online assessments. A review of the literature and practical research was carried out. The literature review looked at frequent testing as a formative assessment method. Specifically it focused on multiple choice format vocabulary tests conducted online. A key element of this focus was the timing of feedback for these tests. Two timing methods were looked at; immediate, answer until correct feedback and delayed feedback. The literature review findings helped inform the research methodology. The research aspect of this study used online multiple choice vocabulary questions as the platform on which to compare the different timing methods. Online surveys of teachers, parents and students were also carried out and finally interviews with key staff members were conducted The literature review revealed that the optimal timing for feedback is an unresolved issue. This case study found that although there was a trend toward twenty four hour delayed feedback the difference with immediate, answer until correct feedback was not significant. Preparation for summative assessments emerged as an important advantage of frequent online tests for teachers, parents and students. Significant disadvantages to emerge related to technical, internet and resources issues. A positive attitude toward online testing in principle emerged from the surveys, although it was stronger with students and parents that with teachers. As a further study, it would be interesting to replicate these tests for students of different classes and over a longer time span to help further understand the emerging issues and findings of this case study.

▼ False memory is a real and persistent phenomenon that has been observed under many different conditions, both in and out of the laboratory. This study asked two main questions: can these conditions be generalised to administration over the world wide web; and do the false memories observed in these different conditions share common mechanisms? This study adapted common DRM, source confusion, and misinformation tasks to a web-friendly format. The DRM was presented visually; two sets of three word lists, each consisting of 15 words and clustering around a common concept, were administered to participants through their browser for a period of 1.5 seconds per word; the participants were latter presented with a new list of words, containing both old and new words, and were required to report if they believed if each of these words were previously presented, including one word for each list that represented the common concept. The source confusion procedure presented participants with an image of an office, a story relating to that image, and a questionnaire requiring the participant to answer several questions regarding the office and the story and to indicate the source of several items. The misinformation task presented the participants with a series of slides about which they were required to answer two questionnaires; several multi-choice questions in the first questionnaire did not contain the correct answer but required that the participant provide an answer despite this. The correct answers to these questions were available in the second questionnaire. The results demonstrated that these tasks can be administered over the world wide web and still display similar false memory characteristics to laboratory-based administration. Participant responses to these tasks, the digit-number sequencing task, and the Wonderlic Quick-Test were found to provide partial, though weak, support for the notion that common mechanisms underlie different kinds of false memory; weak to moderate correlations were found among the false memory tasks and between the false memory tasks and the digit-number sequencing task and the Wonderlic Quick-Test. The administration of false memory tasks over the world-wide-web, now demonstrated to be possible, is expected to open up a substantial population of potential participants and offer new methods to study false memory.

▼ The relentless growth in information technology and artificial intelligence (AI) is placing demands on integrated circuits and boards for high performance, added functionality, and low power consumption. As a result, design complexity and integration continue to increase, and emerging devices are being explored. However, these new trends lead to high test cost and challenges associated with semiconductor test. Machine learning has emerged as a powerful enabler in various application domains, and it provides an opportunity to overcome the challenges associated with expert-based test. Taking the advantages of powerful machine-learning techniques, useful information can be extracted from history testing data, and this information helps facilitate the testing process for both chips and boards. Moreover, to attain test cost reduction with no test quality degradation, adaptive methods for testing are now being advocated. In conventional testing methods, variations among different chips and different boards are ignored. As a result, the same test items are applied to all chips; online testing is carried out after every fixed interval; immutable fault-diagnosis models are used for all boards. In contrast, adaptive methods observe changes in the distribution of testing data and dynamically adjust the testing process, and hence reduce the test cost. In this dissertation, we study solutions for both chip-level test and board-level test. Our objective is to design the most proper solutions for adapting machine-learning techniques to testing area. For chip-level test, the dissertation first presents machine learning-based adaptive testing to drop unnecessary test items and reduce the test cost in high-volume chip manufacturing. The proposed testing framework uses the parametric test results from circuit probing test to train a quality-prediction model, partitions chips into different groups based on the predicted quality, and selects the different important test items for each group of chips. To achieve the same defect level as in prior work on adaptive testing, the proposed fine-grained adaptive testing method significantly reduces test cost. Besides CMOS-based chips, emerging devices (e.g., resistive random access memory (ReRAM)) are being explored to implement AI chips with high energy efficiency. Due to the immature fabrication process, ReRAMs are vulnerable to dynamic faults. Instead of periodically interrupting the computing process and carrying out the testing process, the dissertation presents an efficient method to detect the occurrence of dynamic faults in ReRAM crossbars. This method monitors an indirect measure of the dynamic power consumption of each ReRAM crossbar, determines the occurrence of faults when a changepoint is detected in the monitored power-consumption time series. This model also estimates the percentage of faulty cells in a ReRAM crossbar by training a machine learning-based predictive model. In this way, the time-consuming fault localization and error recovery steps are… Advisors/Committee Members: Chakrabarty, Krishnendu (advisor).

▼ Amblyopia affects up to 2.5% of the population and is most successfully treated when detected early childhood. It is estimated, however, that fewer than 25% of preschool children in the United States are screened for vision problems by government or private programs. As a cost-effective solution, this project explored the delivery of preschool vision screenings, integrated with patient education, to parents and children, aged 3 to 6 years, over the World Wide Web. Five man development phases, based on techniques from the field of use-centered design, were accomplished. They included (1) user needs analysis, (2) requirements specification, (3) low-fidelity prototype development and exploratory testing, (4) high-fidelity prototype development and assessment testing, and (5) final usability verification testing. Fifty parents and children, aged 3 to 6 years, were recruited through an ophthalmology clinical patient base and acquaintances to participate in the study. All interviews and usability testing involving study participants were conducted in the home environment. The result of the project was the creation of a highly usable vision screening test and education resource. The vision screening test portion of the Web site was implemented in Flash to provide motivational multimedia content an included randomized test images and automated scoring and recommendations. The test was easy to se up, requiring less than 5 min and common household materials. Interviewing and testing participants in the home were essential in gathering accurate data about actual test environments and using the tool under distraction. Frequent iterations of designing, testing, and modifying the tool was useful in identifying and correcting usability problems. Usability and acceptance goals were set early in the project, and in the final phase a satisfaction questionnaire was administered to participants, With the exception of test length, all goals were achieved. The limitation of the study included the following: (1) the accuracy of the vision test has not yet been validated against a standard ophthalmological exam; (2) the small number of study participants prevents broad generalization; and (3a0 bias was introduced by the investigator simultaneously playing roles of designer, developer, and usability specialist.

▼ Inspired by various applications including ad auctions, matching markets, and voting, mechanism design deals with the problem of designing algorithms that take inputs from strategic agents and return an outcome optimizing a given objective, while taking the strategic behavior from the agents into account. The focus of this thesis is to design mechanisms in dynamic environments that take into account rich constraints (e.g., budget constraints), features (e.g., robustness and credibility), and different types of agents (e.g., utility-maximizing agents and learning agents). Two main reasons why dynamic mechanism design is hard compared to mechanism design in a static environment are the need to make decisions in an online manner while the future might be unpredictable or even be chosen by an adversary arbitrarily, and the need to cope with strategic agents, who aim to maximize their cumulative utilities by looking into the future. We propose a framework to design dynamic mechanisms with simple structures for utility-maximizing agents without losing any optimality, which facilitates both the design for the designer and the participation for the agents. Our framework enables the design of mechanisms achieving non-trivial performance guarantees relative to the optimal mechanism that has access to all future information in advance, even though our mechanisms are not equipped with any knowledge about the future. We further develop a class of dynamic mechanisms that are robust against estimation errors in agents' valuation distributions, a class of dynamic mechanisms that are credible so that the designer is incentivized to follow the rules, and a class of dynamic mechanisms for learning agents. In addition to dynamic mechanism design frameworks, we develop statistical tools to test whether a dynamic mechanism has correctly aligned the agents' incentives, and to measure the extent of the misalignment if it exists.

▼ The past decade has seen a massive growth in online academic courses, most of which are offered in the English language. However, although more people speak English as their second language than as their first, online course providers do not offer language assistance. Providing online learners with language resources would allow them to both learn about a subject through a foreign language and learn the foreign language through the subject. This is referred to as “content-based language learning”. Supporting content-based language learning using online courses raises several challenges, three of which are addressed in this thesis. First, courses teach subjects in particular domains, but supporting domain-specific language requires knowledge of specialised vocabulary. This thesis develops an automated approach to generating domain-specific corpora and wordlists, extracting domain-specific vocabulary in a way that can be applied to any online course. Second, acquiring and measuring language come hand-in-hand. Tools that help learners acquire new language should also include methods for testing. This thesis takes an existing vocabulary test and automates it. This has two main advantages: it requires no assumed knowledge of the language, allowing automatic generation of vocabulary tests; and the tests reflect the wordlists used to create them, allowing them to be targeted toward a particular domain. Finally, for content-based language learning to be used successfully, the language components must be smoothly integrated into courses without disturbing the original content. Furthermore, vocabulary support should include multi-word lexical items as well as single words. The thesis describes a tool that enhances online course content, via a browser extension. It is completely automated, though would also lend itself to selective teacher intervention. It is illustrated here with reference to courses offered by the FutureLearn MOOC consortium.

▼ Multiple testing, a situation where multiple hypothesis tests are performed simultaneously, is a core research topic in statistics that arises in almost every scientific field. When more hypotheses are tested, more errors are bound to occur. Controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) [BH95], which is the expected proportion of falsely rejected null hypotheses among all rejections, is an important challenge for making meaningful inferences. Throughout the dissertation, we analyze the asymptotic performance of several FDR-controlling procedures under different multiple testing settings. In Chapter 1, we study the famous Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) method [BH95] which often serves as benchmark among FDR-controlling procedures, and show that it is asymptotic optimal in a stylized setting. We then prove that a distribution-free FDR control method of Barber and Cand`es [FBC15], which only requires the (unknown) null distribution to be symmetric, can achieve the same asymptotic performance as the BH method, thus is also optimal. Chapter 2 proposes an interval-type procedure which identifies the longest interval with the estimated FDR under a given level and rejects the corresponding hypotheses with P-values lying inside the interval. Unlike the threshold approaches, this procedure scans over all intervals with the left point not necessary being zero. We show that this scan procedure provides strong control of the asymptotic false discovery rate. In addition, we investigate its asymptotic false non-discovery rate (FNR), deriving conditions under which it outperforms the BH procedure. In Chapter 3, we consider an online multiple testing problem where the hypotheses arrive sequentially in a stream, and investigate two procedures proposed by Javanmard and Montanari [JM15] which control FDR in an online manner. We quantify their asymptotic performance in the same location models as in Chapter 1 and compare their power with the (static) BH method. In Chapter 4, we propose a new class of powerful online testing procedures which incorporates the available contextual information, and prove that any rule in this class controls the online FDR under some standard assumptions. We also derive a practical algorithm that can make more empirical discoveries in an online fashion, compared to the state-of-the-art procedures.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation was to study the effect of testing mode (giving a test on computer versus paper) in authentic classroom environments. Specifically, this work sought to broaden the pedagogical implications of testing mode by examining variations between computer and paper mode in student test performance, cognitive load, and use of scratch paper. Data were collected from students who were enrolled in undergraduate general chemistry courses. Students took multiple proctored general chemistry tests that included a variety of chemistry topics and three question types: algorithmic, conceptual, and definition. After each test students were provided with correct-answer feedback. The tests were either graded and part of the class (i.e., class quizzes) or served as a practice test for the upcoming test in the course. To measure testing mode, tests were delivered on computer or paper, forming four conditions. The conditions, defined by the mode of the initial and final test, were: Computer - Computer, Computer - Paper, Paper - Computer, and Paper - Paper conditions. A series of studies were conducted and their findings are presented in three separate articles. Article 1 discusses test performance of two groups of students (N = 207 and N = 215) who took two similar practice tests in one session. Article 2 discusses test performance of new students (N = 221) who took two quizzes in class on Day 1 and Day 8 and one practice test on Day 12. Article 3 examines testing mode with students (N = 221) who reported their cognitive load and provided scratch paper. The results revealed that overall there seems to be little difference between online and paper-based testing. No significant differences were found in student test performance nor in the cognitive load measures between the computer and paper modes. However, a significant difference between two modes was detected with use of scratch paper, though the effect was very small (2 = .04). Although students used scratch paper more when taking a chemistry test on paper than online, it is not clear whether the difference of approximately one question represents any practical significance. The present dissertation supports the conclusion that online testing is a promising alternative to the traditional paper-and-pencil mode most often used in general chemistry courses and changing from paper to online mode would not impose an additional cognitive load on students.

▼ Online experiment is widely used in online advertising, web development to compare effects, e.g. click through rate, conversion rate, of different versions. Among all the designs, A/B testing is the most popular one. It randomly segments users into two groups with equal probability and shows them different versions. This method is easy to implement. However the shortcoming is also obvious: to measure both versions it cannot expose all users to the best version, which leads to potential loss of rewards, e.g. clicks and conversions. Though this loss is inevitable in experiment, it can be reduced somehow. Reducing the loss is essentially equivalent to maximizing cumulative reward, which is also the goal of typical multi-armed bandit problem. Thus, multi-armed bandit algorithms are proposed to reduce potential loss in experiment. Compared with A/B testing, multi-armed bandit algorithms produce more cumulative reward during experiment. However, they suffer from high statistical uncertainty: e.g. they need more users than A/B testing to reach particular statistical significance level. To solve this problem, this paper aims at building a model to analyze two conflicting goals: reducing statistical uncertainty and maximizing cumulative reward. We develop an algorithm for online experiment to balance the trade-off between these two goals. Right now our analysis focuses on one kind of online experiment: batch updating binomial experiment. We first discuss several statistical uncertainty criterion and propose corresponding algorithms to optimize these criterion for experiment. Then we extend some multi-armed bandit algorithms to maximizing cumulative reward for batch updating problem. Besides that, we propose an new algorithm: sequential two stages (STS) to solve this problem. After that, an improved performance evaluation method, which integrates statistical uncertainty with cumulative reward, is put forwarded. Instead of simply combining two objective functions, this new measure, virtual future measure (VFM) establishes connection between statistical uncertainty and cumulative reward directly through virtual future reward. Compared with other method, our proposed algorithm STS is adaptable to optimize VFM.

▼ This dissertation focuses on sequential decision making for active learning and inference in online settings. In particular, we consider the settings where the hypothesis space is large and labeled data are expensive. Examples include unusual activities in surveillance feedings, target search among large areas, frauds in financial transactions, attacks and intrusions in communication and computer networks, anomalies in infrastructures such as bridges, buildings, and the power grid that may indicate catastrophes. All those applications above are involved with two challenges: (1) massive search space leads to high detection delay (2) labeled data are expensive and time consuming. For active inference, the objective is to detect such event as soon as possible, with a constraint on either the detection accuracy. For active learning, the goal is to minimize the label complexity with certain requirement on the cumulative classification error. The key solution to both problems is to utilize active learning approaches that actively choose which samples to be labeled based on the past observations. In active approaches, the decision maker exert control on which data points to learn from with the objective of label efficiency In this dissertation, we first focus on designing active learning algorithms for active inference. We consider an anomaly detection problem among heterogeneous processes. At each time, a subset of processes can be probed. The objective is to design a sequential probing strategy that dynamically determines which processes to observe at each time and when to terminate the search so that the expected detection time is minimized under a constraint on the probability of misclassifying any process. A low-complexity deterministic test is shown to enjoy the same asymptotic optimality while offering significantly better performance in the finite regime and faster convergence to the optimal rate function, especially when the number of processes is large. Furthermore, the proposed test offers considerable reduction in implementation complexity. Then, we consider active learning algorithms for classifying streaming instances within the framework of statistical learning theory in online settings. At each time, the learner decides whether to query the label of the current instance. If the decision is to not query, the learner predicts the label and receives no feedback on the correctness of the prediction. The objective is to minimize the number of queries while constraining the number of prediction errors over a horizon of length T. The proposed algorithm is shown to outperform existing online active learning algorithms as well as extensions of representative offline algorithms developed under the PAC setting.

▼ Item parameter calibration is important for tests based on item response theory, because the scoring, equating, bias analysis of the test, and item selection in adaptive tests are all based on the item parameters. As a test is continuously administered, item calibration needs to be conducted for new items at intervals to replace overexposed, obsolete, or flawed items in the item bank. Although it is possible to recruit examinees for the sole purpose of pretesting the new items, a more cost-effective and commonly employed approach is to embed the new items in operational tests. When this approach is employed in computerized adaptive tests (CAT), it is called "online calibration." Analogous to the tailored testing feature in CAT, where an optimal set of operational items are selected for each examinee to more efficiently estimate their ability levels, online calibration makes it possible to select an optimal sample of examinees for each pretest item to more efficiently calibrate their item parameters. During the operational tests, different pretest items can be selected for each examinee. The parameter values of the pretest items are constantly updated, based on which the sampling scheme is dynamically adjusted. A few pretest item selection methods have been proposed, but such development is still in its infant phase. This thesis proposes a new framework for pretest item selection in online calibration. A simulation study was conducted to compare the proposed methods with existing methods and also compare different estimation methods and pretest item seeding locations. Results show significant superiority of the proposed methods compared to existing methods in the 1PL and 2PL models. Middle and late seeding locations lead to more accurate calibration results. The Bayesian MEM estimation method is recommended among the six compared estimation methods.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate how online testing was implemented within a statewide high-stakes testing program in Virginia's public education system. Virginia's state assessments, known as the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, were first administered to public school students in 1998 as paper-and-pencil, multiple-choice tests where students used a paper test booklet, an optical scan paper answer document, and a2 pencil to complete each test. In 2000, at the direction of the Governor and General Assembly of the Commonwealth, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) introduced a technology initiative where, upon successful implementation, students would be able to complete their required SOL tests electronically via the Internet. The researcher, an employee of the VDOE with direct involvement in the implementation of online testing, conducted a participant-observer case study and interviewed individuals closely associated with the Virginia Web-based Standards of Learning Technology Initiative. The interview transcripts, project documents, and experiences of the researcher as a participant-observer were used as the primary data sources. Glaser and Strauss's (1967) constant comparative method with suggested procedural additions from Lincoln and Guba (1985) and Maykut and Morehouse (1994), was applied in data analysis. The findings are presented as a monograph with the history and implementation of Virginia's Web-based Standards of Learning Technology Initiative detailed by the participant-observer researcher. The desired outcomes of the researcher's efforts are (a) informing others of Virginia's experiences, including its successes and failures, (b) sharing the lessons learned throughout the implementation of Virginia's Web-based SOL Technology Initiative, and (c) identifying best practices that could be transferable to other state or local organizations attempting similar large-scale initiatives.

▼ Despite the routine use of technology in schools, the application of online testing in curriculum-based senior secondary external examinations remains limited in Australia. This study uses a Year 11 Legal Studies examination to explore the potential of online testing in the senior secondary curriculum context in New South Wales. The focus is on how students’ test-taking engagement in this examination compares with their perceived engagement in paper-based examinations. Test-taking engagement is important as it can affect the validity of test score interpretations. About 200 students from 12 schools sat the examination in 2018. Test-taking engagement was assessed using a questionnaire, group discussions and the behavioural indicators of response time and length. Students were asked, in the questionnaire and group discussions, to make comparisons to paper-based examinations. The assumption is that students are familiar with paper-based examinations. Rasch analysis was used to evaluate the functioning of the examination and to detect differential item functioning in gender and school type. A teacher questionnaire provided further insights into the students’ engagement. Overall, students displayed a relatively high level of test-taking engagement, and broadly found the online examination more engaging than paper ones. The positive relationship between students finding the examination more engaging than paper ones and their measured test-taking engagement, suggests that the online examination may have increased test-taking engagement. Test-taking engagement was higher with objective-response than with constructed-response items, but the positive relationship between test-taking engagement and student performance was stronger with constructed-response than with objective-response items. The effect of the novelty of the experience and the willingness to adapt test-taking strategies from paper to the computer also challenged the validity and acceptance of the examination.

▼ Modern learning systems like recommendation engines, computational advertising systems, online parameter tuning services are inherently online; i.e. these systems need to continually collect data, take decisions to optimize a certain objective and then collect more data with the objective of improving their predictive abilities. This leads to the well-known exploration (searching the space of possible decisions) and exploitation (choosing the optimal decision according to the learned model) dilemma. A principled way to capture this trade-off is the study of multi-armed bandit problems. On the other hand, these online learning systems are made up of several interacting components. Therefore, it is beneficial to study the pattern of interaction among these components, in order to explore in a sample efficient manner, which in turn leads to better exploitation. In this thesis, we will see that it is sometimes beneficial to view these online learning systems under the lens of causality; thus formalizing the pattern of interaction among the various components of the system, through causal graphical models. In our first problem, we study the contextual bandit problem with L observed contexts and K arms, with a latent low dimensional causal structure. We show that leveraging this latent low dimensional structure can lead to superior regret guarantees that are practical even for smaller time horizons. This also leads to the first regret guarantees for low-rank matrix completion where the rank is greater than one. Our second problem deals with leveraging information leakage in an online fashion in the presence of causal structures. We identify that in presence of general causal structures there is information leakage between different interventions viewed as arms of a bandit i.e. collecting data under one intervention can inform us about the statistics under other interventions. We demonstrate how to leverage this information leakage through adaptive importance sampling and apply our algorithm in biological networks and for interpretability of deep networks. This directly leads us to our third problem, where we use the idea of information leakage (explored in our second problem) in the context of stochastic contextual bandits. We propose the contextual bandits with stochastic experts problem and provide the first problem dependent regret bound in contextual bandits, where the scaling of the regret bound can potentially be as low as logarithmic in the number of experts. We show that our algorithm outperforms several state of the art algorithms on progressive validation tasks on multi-class classification data-sets. In our fourth problem, we look at conditional independence testing, which is one of the fundamental tools in causal structure learning. We reduce this problem into binary classification, through a nearest neighbor based bootstrap procedure. This enables us to use powerful supervised learning tools like gradient boosted trees or deep neural networks, that have desirable properties in higher dimensions.

▼ Canadians have been found to have little to no expendable income and find debt management difficult. Alongside the growing push towards digital service platforms replacing traditional brick and mortar solutions within the financial industry. Utilizing this motivation, and in partnership with Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank as a part of a MitacsAccelerate Internship, I propose a study to investigate methodologies within gamification and visual rhetorical accommodation to create potential digital solutions that alleviate these user experiences when dealing with financial situations. More specifically, how might we utilized personalization and visual rhetoric design within financial tools and services, in this case, credit cards, to assist the user’s knowledge translation of financial status, which I hypothesize will alleviate negative user debt and spending behaviours. In this work, I conducted an online study following a semi-structured interview with 60participants. Participants were recruited via an online user recruitment platform, UserInterviews. Participants were equally distributed across 4 conditions and a control group. The interview process began by probing participants about their current behaviours with their online banking and credit card platform. The interview then proceeded to present each participant with condition affected replica’s or TD’s online banking platform, Easy-Web. They were asked for initial impressions and presented a scenario in which participants cognitively walked through using the potential platform. First impressions and qualitative data about user experiences were then collected for analysis. Through the analysis, we discovered that users demonstrated positive effects in response to goal-setting oriented solutions and simulations of real-world consequences of their actions. In summary, our work opens up a venue for exploration as the field of gamification expands into financial settings, and provides experienced designers with a set of guidelines that could inform designs within financial settings.

Les technologies de communication et les services web sont devenus disponibles dans notre vie numérique, les réseaux informatiques continuent de croître et de nouveaux protocoles de communication sont constamment définis et développés. Par la suite, la standardisation et la normalisation des protocoles sont dispensables pour permettre aux différents systèmes de dialoguer. Bien que ces normes peuvent être formellement vérifiés, les développeurs peuvent produire des erreurs conduisant à des implémentations défectueuses. C'est la raison pour laquelle leur mise en œuvre doit être strictement examinée. Cependant, la plupart des approches de tests actuels exigent une stimulation de l’exécution dans le cadre des tests (IUT). Si le système ne peut être consulté ou interrompu, l'IUT ne sera pas en mesure d'être testé. En outre, la plupart des travaux existants sont basées sur des modèles formels et très peu de travaux s'intéressent à la formalisation des exigences de performance. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, nous avons proposé une approche de test basé sur la logique "Horn" afin de tester passivement la conformité et la performance des protocoles. Dans notre approche, les exigences peuvent être formalisées avec précision. Ces exigences formelles sont également testées par des millions de messages collectés à partir des communicants réels. Les résultats satisfaisants des expériences effectuées ont prouvé le bon fonctionnement et l'efficacité de notre approche. Aussi pour satisfaire les besoins croissants de tests distribués en temps réel, nous avons également proposé un cadre de tests distribués et un cadre de tests en ligne et nous avons mis en œuvre notre plateforme dans un environnement réel à petite échelle avec succès

While today’s communications are essential and a huge set of services is available online, computer networks continue to grow and novel communication protocols are continuously being defined and developed. De facto, protocol standards are required to allow different systems to interwork. Though these standards can be formally verified, the developers may produce some errors leading to faulty implementations. That is the reason why their implementations must be strictly tested. However, most current testing approaches require a stimulation of the implementation under tests (IUT). If the system cannot be accessed or interrupted, the IUT will not be able to be tested. Besides, most of the existing works are based on formal models and quite few works study formalizing performance requirements. To solve these issues, we proposed a novel logic-based testing approach to test the protocol conformance and performance passively. In our approach, conformance and performance requirements can be accurately formalized using the Horn-Logic based syntax and semantics. These formalized requirements are also tested through millions of messages collected from real communicating environments. The satisfying results returned from the experiments proved the functionality and efficiency of our approach. Also for satisfying the…

Les réseaux MANET représentent un domaine important de recherche en raison des nombreuses opportunités découlant des problématiques et des applications inhérentes à ce type de réseau. Les problématiques les plus récurrentes sont la mobilité, la disponibilité ainsi que les ressources limitées. Un intérêt bien connu dans les réseaux et donc dans les MANET est de monitorer les propriétés de ce réseau et de ses nœuds. Les contraintes des MANET peuvent avoir un impact significatif sur les efforts mis en œuvre pour les monitorer. La mobilité et la disponibilité peuvent créer des résultats incomplets pour le monitorage. Les propriétés usuelles utilisées en monitorage sont simples, comme notamment la consommation moyenne du processeur, la bande passante moyenne, etc. De plus, l'évolution des réseaux a conduit à un besoin croissant d'examiner des comportements plus complexes, dépendants et imbriqués. La littérature indique que la précision des valeurs obtenues par monitorage et donc des approches n'est pas fiable et difficile à atteindre en raison des propriétés dynamiques du MANET. Nous proposons donc des architectures de surveillance décentralisées et distribuées qui reposent sur de multiples points d'observation. L'approche décentralisée combine des algorithmes dits hiérarchiques et de ‘gossip’ pour fournir une approche de monitorage efficace. Grâce à des expérimentations approfondies, nous avons conclu que même si nous étions en mesure d'atteindre d’excellentes performances, la fragmentation du réseau a toujours un impact sévère sur la méthodologie mise en place. Essayant d'améliorer notre technique, nous avons proposé une approche distribuée pour améliorer l'efficacité et la précision globale.Il fournit un mécanisme de consensus qui lui permet d'agréger de nombreux résultats fournis par plusieurs nœuds et fournit un résultat plus significatif et plus précis. Nous soutenons notre proposition avec de nombreuses définitions mathématiques qui modélisent les résultats locaux pour un seul nœud et les résultats globaux pour le réseau. Nos expériences ont été évaluées avec un émulateur construit en interne qui s'appuie sur Amazon Web Services, NS-3, Docker et GoLang avec un nombre variable de nœuds, la taille du réseau, sa densité, la vitesse des nœuds, les algorithmes de mobilité et les délais. Grâce à cet émulateur, nous avons pu analyser plusieurs aspects en fournissant des testbeds reproductibles, documentés et accessibles. Nous avons obtenu des résultats prometteurs pour les deux approches, et surtout pour l'approche distribuée en particulier en ce qui concerne la précision des valeurs obtenues par monitorage

MANETs represent a significant area of network research due to the many opportunities derived from the problematics and applications. The most recurring problematics are the mobility, the availability and also the limited resources. A well-known interest in networks and therefore in MANETs is to monitor properties of the network and nodes. The problematics of the MANETs can have a significant impact on the…
