▼ Metamorphism is a technique that mutates the binary code using different obfuscations. It is difficult to write a new metamorphic malware and in general malware writers reuse old malware. To hide detection the malware writers change the obfuscations (syntax) more than the behavior (semantic) of such a new malware. On this assumption and motivation, this thesis presents a new framework named MARD for Metamorphic Malware Analysis and Real-Time Detection. We also introduce a new intermediate language named MAIL (Malware Analysis Intermediate Language). Each MAIL statement is assigned a pattern that can be used to annotate a control flow graph for pattern matching to analyse and detect metamorphic malware. MARD uses MAIL to achieve platform independence, automation and optimizations for metamorphic malware analysis and detection. As part of the new framework, to build a behavioral signature and detect metamorphic malware in real-time, we propose two novel techniques, named ACFG (Annotated Control Flow Graph) and SWOD-CFWeight (Sliding Window of Difference and Control Flow Weight). Unlike other techniques, ACFG provides a faster matching of CFGs, without compromising detection accuracy; it can handle malware with smaller CFGs, and contains more information and hence provides more accuracy than a CFG. SWOD-CFWeight mitigates and addresses key issues in current techniques, related to the change of the frequencies of opcodes, such as the use of different compilers, compiler optimizations, operating systems and obfuscations. The size of SWOD can change, which gives anti-malware tool developers the ability to select appropriate parameter values to further optimize malware detection. CFWeight captures the control flow semantics of a program to an extent that helps detect metamorphic malware in real-time. Experimental evaluation of the two proposed techniques, using an existing dataset, achieved detection rates in the range 94% - 99.6% and false positive rates in the range 0.93% - 12.44%. Compared to ACFG, SWOD-CFWeight significantly improves the detection time, and is suitable to be used where the time for malware detection is more important as in real-time (practical) anti-malware applications.

▼ Four proteins exhibiting different rates of denaturation or precipitation with increasing cooking temperature from 63 to 73ÃÂ°C for beef and 67 to 79ÃÂ°C for pork were selected for developing a ratio model and incorporating the results into a mathematical expression. Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against lactate dehydrogenase isozyme 5 (LDH-5), bovine serum albumin (BSA), porcine enolase, and bovine myoglobin were developed for use in a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to simultaneously investigate changes in protein concentration with incremental increases in temperature. Four groups of mice were immunized separately with commercially available or purified protein (LDH-5, BSA, enolase, or myoglobin). After reporting ample blood serum titers, spleen cells were harvested and fused with SP2 myeloma tumor cells using an electro fusion cell manipulator. Hybridoma containing wells were screened against their respective protein to isolate hybridomas secreting protein specific Mabs. Tissue culture flask produced Mabs were used initially in sandwich ELISA assay testing. Mabs were tested against ground beef and pork cooked to instantaneous endpoint temperatures (EPTs). A 6 g section removed from the geometric center of each sample was homogenized in phosphate buffer, centrifuged, and a 1 ml aliquot collected for analysis. Microtiter plates were coated with goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (2 mg/ml) to act as a capture antibody for the protein specific monoclonal antibody concentrated from cell culture supernatant. Serial diluted muscle (beef or pork) extract (10 ml) from each EPT was applied to a microtiter plate. A protein A/G purified polyclonal antibody (Pab) was applied, followed by a goat anti-rabbit IgG peroxidase conjugated antibody. Concentration was determined by comparison to a standard curve. After multiple cell fusions, 24, 29, 66, and 12 cell lines secreting protein specific Mabs against LDH-5, BSA, enolase, and myoglobin, respectively, were produced. Six Mabs against LDH-5 reported R2 values > 0.9 indicating high specificity and affinity for LDH-5. Sandwich ELISA assays development with Mabs against BSA, enolase, and myoglobin was not as successful. Mouse ascites produced Mabs against BSA, enolase, and myoglobin were also unsuccessful when used in a sandwich ELISA. However, preliminary data suggested a multiple antigen ratio model still remained a viable option. Advisors/Committee Members: Keeton, Jimmy T. (advisor), Berghman, Luc R.

▼ Software-defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible network management, but as networks evolve to a large number of end-points with diverse network policies, higher speed, and higher utilization, abstraction of networks by SDN makes monitoring and debugging network problems increasingly harder and challenging. While some problems impact packet processing in the data plane (e.g., congestion), some cause policy deployment failures (e.g., hardware bugs); both create inconsistency between operator intent and actual network behavior. Existing debugging tools are not sufficient to accurately detect, localize, and understand the root cause of problems observed in a large-scale networks; either they lack in-network resources (compute, memory, or/and network bandwidth) or take long time for debugging network problems. This thesis presents three debugging tools: PathDump, SwitchPointer, and Scout, and a technique for tracing packet trajectories called CherryPick. We call for a different approach to network monitoring and debugging: in contrast to implementing debugging functionality entirely in-network, we should carefully partition the debugging tasks between end-hosts and network elements. Towards this direction, we present CherryPick, PathDump, and SwitchPointer. The core of CherryPick is to cherry-pick the links that are key to representing an end-to-end path of a packet, and to embed picked linkIDs into its header on its way to destination. PathDump is an end-host based network debugger based on tracing packet trajectories, and exploits resources at the end-hosts to implement various monitoring and debugging functionalities. PathDump currently runs over a real network comprising only of commodity hardware, and yet, can support surprisingly a large class of network debugging problems with minimal in-network functionality. The key contributions of SwitchPointer is to efficiently provide network visibility to end-host based network debuggers like PathDump by using switch memory as a "directory service" - each switch, rather than storing telemetry data necessary for debugging functionalities, stores pointers to end hosts where relevant telemetry data is stored. The key design choice of thinking about memory as a directory service allows to solve performance problems that were hard or infeasible with existing designs. Finally, we present and solve a network policy fault localization problem that arises in operating policy management frameworks for a production network. We develop Scout, a fully-automated system that localizes faults in a large scale policy deployment and further pin-points the physical-level failures which are most likely cause for observed faults.

▼ The cost and effort of modelling existing bridges from point clouds currently outweighs the perceived benefits of the resulting model. The time required for generating a geometric Bridge Information Model, a holistic data model which has recently become known as a "Digital Twin", of an existing bridge from Point Cloud Data is roughly ten times greater than laser scanning it. There is a pressing need to automate this process. This is particularly true for the highway infrastructure sector because Bridge Digital Twin Generation is an efficient means for documenting bridge condition data. Based on a two-year inspection cycle, there is a need for at least 315,000 bridge inspections per annum across the United States and the United Kingdom. This explains why there is a huge market demand for less labour-intensive bridge documentation techniques that can efficiently boost bridge management productivity. Previous research has achieved the automatic generation of surface primitives combined with rule-based classification to create labelled cuboids and cylinders from point clouds. While existing methods work well in synthetic datasets or simplified cases, they encounter huge challenges when dealing with real-world bridge point clouds, which are often unevenly distributed and suffer from occlusions. In addition, real bridge topology is much more complicated than idealized cases. Real bridge geometries are defined with curved horizontal alignments, and varying vertical elevations and cross-sections. These characteristics increase the modelling difficulties, which is why none of the existing methods can handle reliably. The objective of this PhD research is to devise, implement, and benchmark a novel framework that can reasonably generate labelled geometric object models of constructed bridges comprising concrete elements in an established data format (i.e. Industry Foundation Classes). This objective is achieved by answering the following research questions: (1) how to effectively detect reinforced concrete bridge components in Point Cloud Data? And (2) how to effectively fit 3D solid models in the format of Industry Foundation Classes to the detected point clusters? The proposed framework employs bridge engineering knowledge that mimics the intelligence of human modellers to detect and model reinforced concrete bridge objects in point clouds. This framework directly extracts structural bridge components and then models them without generating low-level shape primitives. Experimental results suggest that the proposed framework can perform quickly and reliably with complex and incomplete real-world bridge point clouds encounter occlusions and unevenly distributed points. The results of experiments on ten real-world bridge point clouds indicate that the framework achieves an overall micro-average detection F1-score of 98.4%, an average modelling accuracy of (C2C) ̅_Auto 7.05 cm, and the average modelling time of merely 37.8 seconds. Compared to the laborious and time-consuming manual practice, the proposed framework can…

▼ Model construction requires selecting and identifying relevant aspects of a situation in the real world. Describing these aspects and the relations between them by a system of equations essentially constructs a mathematical model. Functional definitions are very useful in describing relations. They provide additional imperative information for computation, compared to their implicit counterparts. However, it is rarely the case that all entities have a one-way dependency on others. Rather, entities in a system interact with one another and display interdependencies. When translated to mathematical models with functional definitions, the equation systems may contain circular definitions.This thesis demonstrates how to apply fixed point theorems to mathematical models when the relations between entities involve circular definitions. Fixed point solutions are computed via iteration. As a simplified example, suppose that the relations between two variables x and y can be described by functions f and g such that x = f(y) and y = g(x). Then the set of fixed points of the composite function f ∘ g is the solution for x, i.e., x = f(g(x)). In this thesis, formulations of this type have been applied to different problem domains which are commonly found in the Internet environment. These include rating aggregation, voting, reputation and trust, and information retrieval. In the simulation for rating aggregation, the quality of an assessor depends on the discrepancy between the ratings he gives and the final ratings. On the other hand, the final rating is defined as a weighted average of ratings given by different assessors, using assessor qualities as the weights. This model shows robustness against random attacks and collusion.The voting study in this dissertation involved real-life data from the MSN Q&A service. Voter quality is defined to capture the agreement between voters, again a circular definition. Existence of a solution is asserted by Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. This new voting system shows advantages over simple majority vote counting, being more robust against random attacks and showing identification hints for ballot stuffing.Using intuitively self-evident axioms on the trust building process, the method of a weighted quasi-arithmetic average is proved to be adequate to serve as a mathematical model for trust. Further, reputation is defined as an aggregation of trust over a community. The transaction properties and the reputation of the rating agents are used as the weight factors for the aggregation. This is essentially a circular definition. Solution existence is guaranteed when a suitable weighting function is chosen.Topic difficulty and system retrieval performance exhibit a negative reinforcement relationship which is an excellent example of a circular definition. Using an estimation accuracy interpretation, the mathematical model with fixed point solution in this thesis gives a more natural result on TREC data than that from the HITS algorithm with eigenvector solutions.Finally, this dissertation… Advisors/Committee Members: Ignjatovic, Aleksandar, Computer Science & Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW, Martin, Eric, Computer Science & Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW.

▼ Australia has a crop research system with higher research intensity than exists internationally. Motivated to improve R&D policy in Canada, this dissertation focuses on the Australian End Point Royalty (EPR) system for wheat and addresses four principal questions: (1) How was the Australian system created and how does it work? (2) How do public, producer and private ownership of breeding programs affect the pricing of varieties? (3) How do EPR rates affect wheat variety adoption? (4) Finally, how would uniform EPR rates, similar to those used in France, affect variety selection, total production and revenue if used in the Australian market? In addressing the first question I use existing literature and interviews with prominent personnel in the Australian wheat breeding system, including management of InterGrain, AGT, DAFWA, GRDC and others. Interviews were conducted during field study in Australia in 2011. In addressing the second question I employ a horizontal location model to analyze three game theoretic scenarios of a two firm oligopoly market with private, public and producer owned-breeding companies. The results show public and producer ownership of one of the wheat breeding programs reduces price level relative to private only ownership. I derive a novel result showing that when competing with private firms who must price above marginal cost, the public firm should also price above marginal cost in order to maximize total industry surplus. In addressing the third question I develop and estimate an econometric wheat variety adoption model for Western Australia. I find EPR rates have a negative inelastic, statistically significant impact on the adoption of varieties. Finally, in addressing the last question, I use the econometric model to simulate the adoption of Australian wheat varieties, given a counterfactual of revenue neutral uniform EPR rates. The uniform EPR rates speed up both the adoption and dis-adoption of varieties, thereby increasing weighted average yield and total production. The value of the increase in value of production exceeds the revenue for breeders under varying EPR rates, suggesting uniform EPR system may be an attractive alternative to varying EPR rates.

Fermentation processes play an integral role in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. The Quality by Design initiative, combined with Process Analytical Technologies, aims to facilitate the consistent production of high quality products in the most efficient and economical way. The ability to estimate and control product quality from these processes is essential in achieving this aim. Large historical datasets are commonplace in the pharmaceutical industry and multivariate methods based on PCA and PLS have been successfully used in a wide range of applications to extract useful information from such datasets. This thesis has focused on the development and application of novel multivariate methods to the estimation and control of product quality from a number of processes. The document is divided into four main categories. Firstly, the related literature and inherent mathematical techniques are summarised. Following this, the three main technical areas of work are presented. The first of these relates to the development of a novel method for estimating the quality of products from a proprietary process using PCA. The ability to estimate product quality is useful for identifying production steps that are potentially problematic and also increases process efficiency by ensuring that any defective products are detected before they undergo any further processing. The proposed method is simple and robust and has been applied to two separate case studies, the results of which demonstrate the efficacy of the technique. The second area of work concentrates on the development of a novel method of identifying the operational phases of batch fermentation processes and is based on PCA and associated statistics. Knowledge of the operational phases of a process can be beneficial from a monitoring and control perspective and allows a process to be divided into phases that can be approximated by a linear model. The devised methodology is applied to two separate fermentation processes and results show the capability of the proposed method. The third area of work focuses on undertaking a performance evaluation of two multivariate algorithms, PLS and EPLS, in controlling the end-point product yield of fermentation processes. Control of end-point product quality is of crucial importance in many manufacturing industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry. Developing a controller based on historical and identification process data is attractive due to the simplicity of modelling and the increasing availability of process data. The methodology is applied to two case studies and performance evaluated. From both a prediction and control perspective, it is seen that EPLS outperforms PLS, which is important if modelling data is limited.

▼ The advent of extreme-scale computing systems, e.g., Petaflop supercomputers, High Performance Computing (HPC) cyber-infrastructure, Enterprise databases, and experimental facilities such as large-scale particle colliders, are pushing the envelope on dataset sizes. Supercomputing centers routinely generate and consume ever increasing amounts of data while executing high-throughput computing jobs. These are often result-datasets or checkpoint snapshots from long-running simulations, but can also be input data from experimental facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). These growing datasets are often processed by a geographically dispersed user base across multiple different HPC installations. Moreover, end-user workflows are also increasingly distributed in nature with massive input, output, and even intermediate data often being transported to and from several HPC resources or end-users for further processing or visualization. The growing data demands of applications coupled with the distributed nature of HPC workflows, have the potential to place significant strain on both the storage and network resources at HPC centers. Despite this potential impact, rather than stringently managing HPC center resources, a common practice is to leave application-associated data management to the end-user, as the user is intimately aware of the application\'s workflow and data needs. This means end-users must frequently interact with the local storage in HPC centers, the scratch space, which is used for job input, output, and intermediate data. Scratch is built using a parallel file system that supports very high aggregate I/O throughput, e.g., Lustre, PVFS, and GPFS. To ensure efficient I/O and faster job turnaround, use of scratch by applications is encouraged. Consequently, job input and output data are required to be moved in and out of the scratch space by end-users before and after the job runs, respectively. In practice, end-users arbitrarily stage and offload data as and when they deem fit, without any consideration to the center\'s performance, often leaving data on the scratch long after it is needed. HPC centers resort to "purge" mechanisms that sweep the scratch space to remove files found to be no longer in use, based on not having been accessed in a preselected time threshold called the purge window that commonly ranges from a few days to a week. This ad-hoc data management ignores the interactions between different usersd́ata storage and transmission demands, and their impact on center serviceability leading to suboptimal use of precious center resources. To address the issues of exponentially increasing data sizes and ad-hoc data management, we present a fresh perspective to scratch storage management by fundamentally rethinking the manner in which scratch space is employed. Our approach is twofold. First, we re-design the scratch system as a "cache" and build "retention", "population", and "eviction" policies that are tightly… Advisors/Committee Members: Butt, Ali Raza Ashraf (committeechair), Ribbens, Calvin J.

Ao longo destes últimos anos as ligações adesivas têm vindo a verificar um aumento progressivo em aplicações estruturais em detrimento das ligações mecânicas convencionais. Esta alteração de paradigma deve-se às vantagens que as juntas adesivas possuem relativamente aos outros métodos de ligação. A mecânica da fratura e os Modelos de Dano Coesivo (MDC) são critérios comuns para prever a resistência em juntas adesivas e usam como parâmetros fundamentais as taxas de libertação de energia. Pelo facto do ensaio 4-Point End Notched Flexure (4-ENF), aplicado em juntas adesivas, ainda estar pouco estudado é de grande relevância um estudo acerca da sua viabilidade para a determinação da taxa crítica de libertação de energia de deformação ao corte (GIIc). Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal efetuar uma comparação entre os métodos End- Notched Flexure (ENF) e 4-ENF na determinação de GIIc em juntas adesivas. Para tal foram utilizados 3 adesivos: Araldite® AV138, Araldite® 2015 e SikaForce® 7752. O trabalho experimental passou pela conceção e fabrico de uma ferramenta para realização do ensaio 4-ENF, seguindo-se o fabrico e a preparação dos provetes para os ensaios. Pelo facto do ensaio 4-ENF ainda se encontrar pouco divulgado em juntas adesivas, e não se encontrar normalizado, uma parte importante do trabalho passou pela pesquisa e análise em trabalhos de investigação e artigos científicos. A análise dos resultados foi realizada por comparação direta dos valores de GIIc com os resultados obtidos no ensaio ENF, sendo realizada por série de adesivo, através da comparação das curvas P-δ e curvas-R. Como resultado verificou-se que o ensaio 4-ENF em ligações adesivas não é o mais versátil para a determinação do valor de GIIc, e que apenas um método de obtenção de GIIc é viável. Este método é baseado na medição do comprimento de fenda (a). Ficou evidenciado que o ensaio ENF, devido a ser um ensaio normalizado, por apresentar um setup mais simples e por apresentar uma maior disponibilidade de métodos para a determinação do valor de GIIc, é o mais recomendado. Conclui-se assim que o ensaio 4-ENF, embora sendo uma alternativa ao ensaio ENF, tem aplicação mais limitada.

Over the last few years, adhesively-bonded joints have been increasingly used in structural applications instead of conventional mechanical joints. This paradigm change is due to advantages of the adhesively-bonded joints when compared with the other joining methods. Fracture mechanics and the Cohesive Zone Models (CZM) are the usual techniques to predict joints strength and they use the energy release rate as fundamental parameters. Since the 4-End Notched Flexure (4-ENF) test, applied to adhesively-bonded joints, is understudied, the studies about the viability of this method to estimate the critical shear strain energy release rate (GIIc) have great relevance. The main objective of this thesis is the comparison between the End-Notched Flexure (ENF) and 4- ENF test methods in the determination of GIIc of adhesively-bonded joints. Three types of adhesives…

▼ Scientific applications generate large volumes of data that often needs to be moved between geographically distributed sites which has led to a significant increase in data transfer rates. As an increasing number of scientific applications are becoming sensitive to silent data corruption, end-to-end integrity verification has been proposed. End-to-end integrity verification minimizes the likelihood of silent data corruption by comparing checksum of files at the source and the destination using secure hash algorithms such as MD5 and SHA1. However, existing implementations of end-to-end data integrity verification for file transfers compute checksum of files based on memory copy (i.e. cache) of the file, thus fall short to detect silent disk errors that take place while writing cached data to disk. In this thesis, we inspect the robustness of existing end-to-end integrity verification approaches against silent data corruption and propose a Robust Integrity Verification Algorithm (i.e. RIVA) to enhance data integrity. Extensive experiments show that unlike existing solutions, RIVA is able to detect silent disk corruptions by invalidating file contents in page cache and reading them directly from disk. Since RIVA clears page cache and reads file contents directly from the disk, it incurs delay to execution time. However, by running transfer, cache invalidation, and checksum operations concurrently, RIVA is able to keep its overhead below 15% in most cases compared to the state-of-the-art solutions in exchange of more secure file transfers. We also introduce a novel fault injection mechanism to assesses the robustness of RIVA against undetected disk errors by altering file content on the disk. Finally, we present dynamic parallelism to adjust the number of transfer and checksum threads to overcome performance bottlenecks. The results show that dynamic parallelism lead to more than 5x increase in RIVA’s speed. Advisors/Committee Members: Gunes, Mehmet H.

▼ Remote working is a practice that provides economic benefits to both the employing organisation and the individual. However, evidence suggests that organisations implementing remote working have limited appreciation of the security risks, particularly those impacting upon the confidentiality and integrity of information and also on the integrity and availability of the remote worker’s computing environment. Other research suggests that an organisation that does appreciate these risks may veto remote working, resulting in a loss of economic benefits. With the implementation of high speed broadband, remote working is forecast to grow and therefore it is appropriate that improved approaches to managing security risks are researched. This research explores the use of secure portable execution and storage environments (secure PESEs) to improve information security for the remote work categories of telework, and mobile and deployed working. This thesis with publication makes an original contribution to improving remote work information security through the development of a body of knowledge (consisting of design models and design instantiations) and the assertion of a nascent design theory. The research was conducted using design science research (DSR), a paradigm where the research philosophies are grounded in design and construction. Following an assessment of both the remote work information security issues and threats, and preparation of a set of functional requirements, a secure PESE concept was defined. The concept is represented by a set of attributes that encompass the security properties of preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the computing environment and data. A computing environment that conforms to the concept is considered to be a secure PESE, the implementation of which consists of a highly portable device utilising secure storage and an up-loadable (on to a PC) secure execution environment. The secure storage and execution environment combine to address the information security risks in the remote work location. A research gap was identified as no existing ‘secure PESE like’ device fully conformed to the concept, enabling a research problem and objectives to be defined. Novel secure storage and execution environments were developed and used to construct a secure PESE suitable for commercial remote work and a high assurance secure PESE suitable for security critical remote work. The commercial secure PESE was trialled with an existing telework team looking to improve security and the high assurance secure PESE was trialled within an organisation that had previously vetoed remote working due to the sensitivity of the data it processed. An evaluation of the research findings found that the objectives had been satisfied. Using DSR evaluation frameworks it was determined that the body of knowledge had improved an area of study with sufficient evidence generated to assert a nascent design theory for secure PESEs. The thesis highlights the limitations of the research while opportunities…

▼ [Resumo] A tecnoloxía LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) é actualmente unha das máis valiosas fontes de información xeográfica xa que permite, mediante dispositivos de dixitalización láser, a obtención de modelos tridimensionais de alta resolución de grandes áreas de terra. Os datos LiDAR, normalmente almacenados como nubes de puntos, utilízanse nun gran número de campos científicos e profesionais como un elemento fundamental do traballo. Debido á enorme cantidade de información que pode ser xerada mediante esta tecnoloxía, os conxuntos de datos LiDAR sempre foron considerados coma un gran desafío á hora de desenvolver aplicacións software capaces de manexar tales volumes de información de xeito rápido e eficiente. Toda a investigación realizada durante esta Tese centrouse no desenvolvemento de novas técnicas, algoritmos e sistemas que mellorasen o rendemento, a eficiencia e a calidade dos múltiples e diversos elementos críticos dos contornos LiDAR. Así, desenvolvéronse sistemas web de tipo cliente-servidor para visualizar e procesar en tempo real grandes nubes de puntos de resolución completa, permitindo o acceso desde calquera tipo de dispositivo, dende tabletas a equipos de sobremesa, adaptando as súas funcionalidades e características aos requisitos e necesidades de campos específicos do coñecemento científico. As elevadas esixencias de almacenamento típicamente asociadas aos datos LiDAR, así como o intenso tráfico de rede que pode xerarse en aplicacións de tipo web, levou ao desenvolvemento de métodos de compresión de datos sen perdas xunto con novas estruturas de datos baseadas na non redundancia de información. Estes novos elementos foron utilizados para proporcionar un soporte altamente eficiente para técnicas multi-resolución out-ofcore para a visualizacion en tempo real de nubes de puntos masivas, reducindo de xeito significativo os requisitos de almacenamento, o consumo de memoria principal e de vídeo, así como a conxestión no tráfico de rede. Por último, estableceuse como obxectivo da fase final da Tese, superar as limitacións derivadas da execución de soft-ware en computadores compostos por unha única máquina para o almacenamento e a computación sobre grandes conxuntos de datos LiDAR masivos. A partir dun estudo preliminar para analizar a idoneidade de diferentes solucións big data para almacenar, distribuír e dar soporte ao envío de datos a varios clientes LiDAR, desenvolveuse un sistema altamente escalable para a computación distribuída sobre os volumes de datos mencionados. Como punto de partida, implementáronse diversas propostas utilizando como caso de estudo a creación de modelos dixitais do terreo (MDT), servindo como base tecnolóxica para un futuro servizo coa capacidade de ofrecer unha biblioteca de múltiples procesos xeoespaciais.

▼

The rapid developments in the field of point cloud acquisition technologies have allowed point clouds to become an important source of information for many applications. One of the newest applications of point clouds concerns the monitoring of the coast. Many countries, among which the Netherlands, use this source of data in order to determine the changes in coastal elevations. This means that point clouds are collected every hour, day, month, year; ultimately talking about dynamic point clouds. To be able to efficiently use this plethora of data, the management of those point clouds, dynamic or not, is proven to be crucial. Point clouds, like the majority of geodata, have been traditionally managed using file-based solutions. Nevertheless, the last years database solutions have emerged. Typical examples are the point cloud extensions for PostgreSQL and the Oracle Database. Both options use a similar block-based organisation. In addition to the block based organisations, point clouds can also be managed using a flat table where each point is stored in a separate row. While the first approach is very scalable and efficient, the second is easier to implement and to update. To make the flat model scalable, a Space Filling Curve (SFC) can be used to cluster the data. Nonetheless, both approaches in their current forms, are not suited for the management of dynamic points. The reason for this is the fact that they do not consider the time dimension as part of the organisation and further insertions for the block-based approaches are not straightforward. Within this thesis a SFC approach for managing dynamic point clouds is investigated. For this, the flat model approach using an Index Organised Table (IOT) within a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is used. Two variants coming from two extremes of the space - time continuum are then taken into account. In the first approach, space and time are both used within the SFC (integrated approach), while in the second one, time dominates over space (non-integrated approach). Along these two approaches, two treatments of the z dimension are, also, studied: as attribute or as part of the SFC. In addition to that, building on the coastal monitoring applications, the most important queries are identified: space - time, only time, only space. The efficiency of the implemented methodology is tested through the execution of a benchmark. Using two use cases coming from coastal applications, the benchmark is executed once for daily and once for yearly data. The results show that the SFC approach is an appropriate method for managing dynamic point clouds. Furthermore, the integrated approach is the most suitable way to proceed. Achieving scalability, time efficiency and dynamic insertions can be achieved for various use cases.

▼ The recent experiences of asymmetric urban military operations have highlighted the pressing need for incorporation of soft data, such as informant statements, into the fusion process. Soft data are fundamentally different from hard data (generated by physics-based sensors), in the sense that the information they provide tends to be qualitative and subject to interpretation. These characteristics pose a major obstacle to using existing multi-sensor data fusion frameworks, which are quite well established for hard data. Given the critical and sensitive nature of intended applications, soft/hard data fusion requires a framework that allows for convenient representation of various data uncertainties common in soft/hard data, and provides fusion techniques that are robust, mathematically justifiable, and yet effective. This would allow an analyst to make decisions with a better understanding of the associated uncertainties as well as the fusion mechanism itself. We present here a detailed account of an analytical solution to the task of soft/hard data fusion. The developed analytical framework consists of several main components: (i) a Dempster-Shafer (DS) belief theory based fusion strategy; (ii) a complete characterization of the Fagin-Halpern DS theoretic (DST) conditional notion which forms the basis of the data fusion framework; (iii) an evidence updating strategy for the purpose of consensus generation; (iv) a credibility estimation technique for validation of evidence; and (v) techniques for reducing computational burden associated with the proposed fusion framework. The proposed fusion strategy possesses several intuitively appealing features, and satisfies certain algebraic and fusion properties making it particularly useful in a soft/hard fusion environment. This strategy is based on DS belief theory which allows for convenient representation of uncertainties that are typical of soft/hard domains. The Fagin-Halpern (FH) notion is perhaps the most appropriate DST conditional notion for soft/hard data fusion scenarios. It also forms the basis for our fusion framework. We provide a complete characterization of the FH conditional notion. This constitutes a strong result, that sets the foundation for understanding the FH conditional notions and also establishes the theoretical grounds for development of algorithms for efficient computation of FH conditionals. We also address the converse problem of determining the evidence that may have generated a given change of belief. This converse result can be of significant practical value in certain applications. A consensus control strategy developed based on our fusion technique allows consensus analysis to be carried out in a multitude of applications that call for extended flexibility in uncertainty modeling. We provide a complete theoretical development of the proposed consensus strategy with rigorous proofs. We make use of these consensus notions to establish a data validation technique to assess credibility of evidence in the absence of ground truth.
