▼ Doppler synthesis of 3D wind products is of great practical importance to observing and understanding severe weather features such as tornadoes and microbursts. It becomes very effective for severe weather events if this modeling can be performed in
real-
time. A
real-
time multi-
Doppler retrieval system forms an important product of modern weather radar networks. Challenging constraints exists between computing performance, high data resolution, and other quality issues. This Thesis describes the implementation of the operational
Real-
time Multi-
Doppler Retrieval System (R-MDRS) of the Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere Engineering Research Center (CASA ERC). The R-MDRS is seamlessly integrated into CASA's Distributed Collaborative Adaptive Sensing (DCAS) operational framework and exhibit robust performance that strikes balance between high resolution and
real-
time processing speeds. A detailed technical description of the CASA R-MDRS implementation is given, including design approach that builds around two core components of the tool: interpolation to a common grid and
Doppler synthesis. The R-MDRS generates 3D Wind products in step with network scanning modes and has been effective at detecting convective cells and tornadic activities. Data from 2009 and 2010 weather events are presented and analyzed for evaluating processing
time as well as factors that effect data accuracy. These factors include Dual-
Doppler candidate pair selection, advection correction, and variations in wind calculation techniques.

▼ Microblogging is an increasingly popular form of social media. One of the most popular microblogging services is Twitter. The number of messages posted to Twitter on a daily basis is extremely large. Accordingly, it becomes hard for users to sort through these messages and find ones that interest them. Twitter offers search mechanisms but they are relatively simple and accordingly the results can be lacklustre. Through participation in the 2011 Text Retrieval Conference's Microblog Track, this thesis examines real-time ad hoc search using standard information retrieval approaches without microblog or Twitter specific modifications. It was found that using pseudo-relevance feedback based upon a language model derived from Twitter posts, called tweets, in conjunction with standard ranking methods is able to perform competitively with advanced retrieval systems as well as microblog and Twitter specific retrieval systems. Furthermore, possible modifications both Twitter specific and otherwise are discussed that would potentially increase retrieval performance.
Twitter has also spawned an interesting phenomenon called hashtags. Hashtags are used by Twitter users to denote that their message belongs to a particular topic or conversation. Unfortunately, tweets have a 140 characters limit and accordingly all relevant hashtags cannot always be present in tweet. Thus, Twitter users cannot easily find tweets that do not contain hashtags they are interested in but should contain them. This problem is investigated in this thesis in three ways using learning methods. First, learning methods are used to determine if it is possible to discriminate between two topically different sets of a tweets. This thesis then investigates whether or not it is possible for tweets without a particular hashtag, but discusses the same topic as the hashtag, to be separated from random tweets. This case mimics the real world scenario of users having to sift through random tweets to find tweets that are related to a topic they are interested in. This investigation is performed by removing hashtags from tweets and attempting to distinguish those tweets from random tweets. Finally, this thesis investigates whether or not topically similar tweets can also be distinguished based upon a sub-topic. This was investigated in almost an identical manner to the second case.
This thesis finds that topically distinct tweets can be distinguished but more importantly that standard learning methods are able to determine that a tweet with a hashtag removed should have that hashtag. In addition, this hashtag reconstruction can be performed well with very few examples of what a tweet with and without the particular hashtag should look like. This provides evidence that it may be possible to separate tweets a user may be interested from random tweets only using hashtags they are interested in. Furthermore, the success of the hashtag reconstruction also provides evidence that users do not misuse or abuse hashtags since hashtag presence was taken to be the ground…

▼ In the Spring of 2012, hydraulic data was collected to calibrate three types of discharge models: stage-discharge, single-regression and multi-regression index velocity models. Unsteady flow conditions were observed at the site (â H/â t = 0.75 cm/min), but the data did not indicate hysteresis nor variable backwater effects on the stage-discharge relation. Furthermore, when corrected with a datum offset (α) value of -0.455, the stage-discharge relation r2 was equal to 0.98. While the multiple regression index velocity models also showed high correlation (r2 = 0.98) values, high noise levels of the parameter index velocity (Vi) complicated their use for the determination of discharge. Because of its reliability, low variance and accessibility to students, the stage-discharge model [Q = 5.459(H-0.455)
2.487] was selected as the model to determine discharge in
real-
time for LEWAS. Caution should be used, however, when applying the equation to stages above 1.0m. The selected discharge model was applied to ADCP stage (H) data collected during three runoff events in July 2012. Other LEWAS models showed similar discharge values (coefficient of variation = 0.14) while the on-site weir also produced similar discharge values. Precipitation estimates for July 19 and 24 rain events over the Webb Branch watershed were derived from IDW interpolated rain data and rainfall-runoff analyses from this data yielded an average ratio of 0.23, low for the urbanized watershed. However, since the three LEWAS models were very similar, and the on-site weir showed a lower value to LEWAS, it was concluded that any error in the ratio would be attributed to the precipitation estimate, and not the discharge models developed in this study.

▼ This thesis describes the integration of the end-to-end flow
real-
time model, which is defined in the MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of
Real-
Time and Embedded Systems) standard, into distribution middleware, as it can facilitate the development process of distributed
real-
time systems based on the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) paradigm. The study focuses on how distribution standards and their implementations guarantee the
real-
time behaviour of these kinds of applications, thus providing a set of features required to develop analyzable distributed
real-
time systems. The standards studied are RT-CORBA (
Real-
Time Common Object Request Broker Architecture), the DSA (Distributed Systems Annex) of Ada, and DDS (Data Distribution Service for
real-
time systems). The features analysed will contribute to the definition of the endpoints pattern, a new proposal that, when integrated with distribution middleware, enables the use of MDE and schedulability analysis techniques more easily. This thesis also presents a distributed
real-
time platform supporting different distribution standards, and scheduling policies, and several examples or case studies to validate the features and usability of the endpoints pattern. In addition, this thesis deals with the use of the end-to-end flow model in high-integrity systems by adapting the endpoints pattern to the Ravenscar profile, and also explores the integration of the proposal into a toolset for MDE to enable the automatic generation of Ravenscar-compliant distribution code. Finally, specific implementations of the endpoints pattern are presented for full and restricted Ada.

A comparative study of different music structural segmentation methods is presented, where the goal is to delimit the borders of musical sections and label them, i.e. group the sections that correspond to the same musical part. Novel proposals for unsupervised segmentation are presented, including methods for real-time segmentation, achieving expressive results, with error ratio less then 12%. Our method consists of a study of sound descriptors, an exposition of the computational techniques for structural segmentation and the description of the evaluation methods utilized, which penalize both incorrect boundary detection and incorrect number of labels. The performance of each technique is calculated using different sound descriptor sets and the results are presented and analysed both from quantitative and qualitative points-of-view.

▼ In recent years Ethernet has cought the attention of the real-time community. the main reason for this is that it has a high data troughput, 10Mbit/s and higher, and good EMI characteristics. As a protocol that might be used in real-time anvironments such as control systems for cars etc, it seems to fulfil the rquirements. TTEthernet is a TDMA extention to normal Ethnernet, designed to meet the hard deadlines required by real-time networks. This thesis describes how TTEthernet handles frames and the mathematical formulas to calculate shuffle delay of frames in such a network. Open problems related to TTEthernet are also discussed.

▼ Avant cette étude, le processus anammox (oxydation
anaérobie de l’ammonium) était uniquement étudié dans les usines de
traitement des eaux usées et dans les milieux aquatiques, sédiments
inclus. Cependant, rien n'était connu encore sur la distribution,
la diversité, l'abondance et l'activité des bactéries anammox dans
les écosystèmes terrestres. Dans cette étude, nous apportons
l’évidence, par approche moléculaire, de la présence de bactéries
anammox dans les sols de zones humides, les sédiments des marais,
le profil de sol d’un Reductisol, des sols de rives de lacs, un sol
sur Permafrost et un aquifère poreux. L'analyse phylogénétique des
séquences du gène ARNr 16S a démontrée que les bactéries anammox
présentes dans les écosystèmes terrestres sont affiliées à
<i>Candidatus</i> ‘Brocadia’, ‘Kuenenia’, ‘Scalindua’,
‘Jettenia’ and ‘Anammoxoglobus’ ainsi qu’à deux groupes non
identifiés. Ces candidats anammox étaient largement distribués dans
les différents environnements terrestres indiquant une plus grande
diversité que dans les colonnes d’eau des milieux marins. Les
bactéries anammox n'étaient pas présentes dans tous les milieux et
fractions de sol échantillonnés, l’analyse démontrant leur
distribution hétérogène et leurs besoins écologiques spécifiques
comme la présence d’interfaces oxique / anoxique à long terme et de
composés azotés inorganiques. Nous avons quantifié les bactéries
anammox dans ces différents environnements en développant une
nouvelle approche qPCR spécifique anammox, et leur abondance
variait de 10
4 à 10
6
copies / g de sol. Finalement, le Réductisol a été sélectionné pour
réaliser une analyse détaillée de l’activité anammox le long du
profil de sol par des expériences d'incubation à l’isotope
15N. Pour chaque date d'échantillonnage, une
production de
29N
2
était observée à toutes les profondeurs du Réductisol, démontrant
la présence de bactéries anammox actives. La contribution d‘anammox
à la production totale de N
2 était
inférieure à 14%. Cette étude fournit la première preuve que les
bactéries anammox sont présentes, diverses et actives dans les
écosystèmes terrestres.

▼ Undesired, human behavior in public environments is an increasing issue in today’s society. The overload of security operators and law enforcement addresses the need for automatic detection of anomalous behavior. The EU-project ADABTS aims to facilitate the protection of EU citizens, property and infrastructure against threats of terrorism, crime and riots, by the automatic detection of abnormal human behaviour. At the Acoustics & Sonar department of TNO Defence and Safety, part of this problem is addressed by means of acoustical detection of anomalous events. The approach is based on ‘scanning’ public environments by applying beamforming on the outputs of an acoustical sensor array and applying classification algorithms for detecting specific sources. In this Master’s thesis, an initial step is taken with the development of a
real-
time beamforming system that delivers required sound parameters used in sound classification. A number of different beamforming methods have been considered, differing in performance and computational complexity. Conventional methods like Delay and Sum (DAS), possibly combined with the use of static, frequency-invariant windows, lack spatial resolution at especially lower frequencies and are unable of coping with multiple interfering sources. Other methods provide an improved performance on the cost of increased complexity. The method known as Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) beamforming maintains a high spatial resolution at lower frequencies. Two main versions of this method are frequently used: a static (non-input-based) one and a dynamic (input-based) one. Static MVDR (SMVDR) is able to maintain performance at lower frequencies, but due to its static nature it does not add any extra value in multi-source environments. Dynamic MVDR (DMVDR), on the other hand, is partly capable of filtering away undesired coherent interferers and also has an improved spatial response in single-source environments. Its computational complexity, still, is an important bottleneck. The search for less intensive beamforming methods leads to a way of adaptive beamforming. Beamformers in which static beamforming and dynamic filtering are split in two different parts, are able to alleviate complexity. However, the need for adding extra elements to account for target-signal cancellation in multi-source environments destroys the computational advantages, making it unsuitable. The developed
real-
time application takes into account the intensive routines of DMVDR. Since the properties of the deployment platform are not known in advance, it is supplied with a mechanism for adapting to different and changing, available hardware resources such as available CPU-
time, arithmetic units and memory. In this way it will always deliver the best possible solution, based on what the user is offering. Still, an extensive implementation process has led to a relatively fast execution of the algorithm. The system is supplied with a user interface for controlling a number of parameters and for obtaining the first…

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Technology development is moving rapidly and our dependence on information services is growing. Building a broadband infrastructure that can support future demand and change is therefore critical to social, political, economic and technological developments. It is often up to local policy makers to find the best solutions to support this demand and development.
Because policy making is inherently a long-range planning exercise optimal solutions are best identified using methodologies that deal with planning for alternative futures. Futures methodologies identify, study, and plan for alternative futures, and are therefore a good fit to increase the probabilities of success when developing telecommunication policies.
The goals of this study were to contribute to methodology in the futures field by evolving and extending existing methods, to create an expert based model for future broadband related developments in Hawaii, and to develop recommendations for future Hawaii broadband developments.
The study took advantage of recent technological developments to evolve and extend well known futures studies methodologies and develop novel Real-Time Delphi and Cross-Impact simulation software. Next, future broadband related trends and events were identified via interviews with high level telecommunications experts. These trends and events were then used as input in the Real-Time Delphi software for expert forecasting.
The output from the forecasts were used as input to the Cross-Impact simulator, creating and exploring models of possible, probable and desirable futures for broadband in Hawaii.
The final results were recommendations of specific focal areas for broadband developments in Hawaii.

▼ Modern real-time systems are becoming increasingly complex and requiring significant computational power to meet their demands. Since the increase in uniprocessor speed has slowed down in the last decade, multicore processors are now the preferred way to supply the increased performance demand of real-time systems.
A significant amount of work in the real-time community has focused on scheduling solutions for multicore processors for both sequential and parallel real-time tasks. Even though such solutions are able to provide strict timing guarantees on the overall response time of real-time tasks, they rely on the assumption that the worst-case execution time (WCET) of each individual task is known. However, physical shared resources such as main memory and I/O are heavily employed in multicore processors. These resources are limited and therefore subject to contention. In fact, the execution time of one task when run in parallel with other tasks is significantly larger than the execution time of the same task when run in isolation. In addition, the presence of shared resources increases the timing unpredictability due to the conflicts generated by multiple cores. As a result, the adoption of multicore processors for real-time systems is dependent upon solving such sources of unpredictability.
In this dissertation, we investigate memory bus contention. In particular, two main problems are associated with memory contention: (1) unpredictable behavior and (2) hindrance of performance. We show how to mitigate these two problems through scheduling. Scheduling is an attractive tool that can be easily integrated into the system without the need for hardware modifications. We adopt an execution model that exposes memory as a resource to the scheduling algorithm. Thus, the theory of real-time multiprocessor scheduling, that has seen significant advances in recent years, can be utilized to schedule both processor cores and memory. Since the real-time workload on multicore processors can be modeled as sequential or parallel tasks, we also study parallel task scheduling by taking memory time into account.

▼ Le contenu généré dans les médias sociaux comme Twitter permet aux utilisateurs d'avoir un aperçu rétrospectif d'évènement et de suivre les nouveaux développements dès qu'ils se produisent. Cependant, bien que Twitter soit une source d'information importante, il est caractérisé par le volume et la vélocité des informations publiées qui rendent difficile le suivi de l'évolution des évènements. Pour permettre de mieux tirer profit de ce nouveau vecteur d'information, deux tâches complémentaires de recherche d'information dans les médias sociaux ont été introduites : la génération de résumé rétrospectif qui vise à sélectionner les tweets pertinents et non redondant récapitulant "ce qui s'est passé" et l'envoi des notifications prospectives dès qu'une nouvelle information pertinente est détectée. Notre travail s'inscrit dans ce cadre. L'objectif de cette thèse est de faciliter le suivi d'événement, en fournissant des outils de génération de synthèse adaptés à ce vecteur d'information. Les défis majeurs sous-jacents à notre problématique découlent d'une part du volume, de la vélocité et de la variété des contenus publiés et, d'autre part, de la qualité des tweets qui peut varier d'une manière considérable. La tâche principale dans la notification prospective est l'identification en temps réel des tweets pertinents et non redondants. Le système peut choisir de retourner les nouveaux tweets dès leurs détections où bien de différer leur envoi afin de s'assurer de leur qualité. Dans ce contexte, nos contributions se situent à ces différents niveaux : Premièrement, nous introduisons Word Similarity Extended Boolean Model (WSEBM), un modèle d'estimation de la pertinence qui exploite la similarité entre les termes basée sur le word embedding et qui n'utilise pas les statistiques de flux. L'intuition sous- jacente à notre proposition est que la mesure de similarité à base de word embedding est capable de considérer des mots différents ayant la même sémantique ce qui permet de compenser le non-appariement des termes lors du calcul de la pertinence. Deuxièmement, l'estimation de nouveauté d'un tweet entrant est basée sur la comparaison de ses termes avec les termes des tweets déjà envoyés au lieu d'utiliser la comparaison tweet à tweet. Cette méthode offre un meilleur passage à l'échelle et permet de réduire le temps d'exécution. Troisièmement, pour contourner le problème du seuillage de pertinence, nous utilisons un classificateur binaire qui prédit la pertinence. L'approche proposée est basée sur l'apprentissage supervisé adaptatif dans laquelle les signes sociaux sont combinés avec les autres facteurs de pertinence dépendants de la requête. De plus, le retour des jugements de pertinence est exploité pour re-entrainer le modèle de classification. Enfin, nous montrons que l'approche proposée, qui envoie les notifications en temps réel, permet d'obtenir des performances prometteuses en termes de qualité (pertinence et nouveauté) avec une faible latence alors que les approches de l'état de l'art tendent à favoriser la qualité au…

▼ Social media gain worldwide popularity and their volumes are in rapid growth. Blogs and microblogs are two typical types of social media. By February 2011, there had been over 156 million public blogs in existence and the volume of blogosphere is predicted to double about every 5.5 months. Twitter, a microblogging service, has a daily volume of over 340 million tweets by 2012. With such an overwhelming amount of information in blogosphere and micro-blogosphere, advanced information
retrieval techniques are needed. In this thesis, I tackle two advanced information
retrieval problems: faceted blog distillation over blogosphere and
real-
time tweet ad-hoc
retrieval over micro-blogosphere.
For faceted blog distillation, users aim at retrieving the blogs that are not only relevant to queries but also exhibit some qualities. Six aspects of quality (called facets) are considered: opinionated vs. factual, personal vs. official and in-depth vs. shallow. Opinionated blogs provide the blog posts that contain relevant opinions to queries while factual blogs consist of the posts that describe the topics of queries without opinionated contents. The posts in personal blogs depict the topics related to the personal experiences of bloggers while those in official blogs deliver commercial purposes of bloggers. In-depth blogs provide deep analysis about the topics of interest while the posts in shallow blogs simply mention the topics, without analyzing the implications of the provided information. Faceted blog distillation consists of three sub-problems: opinionated and factual blog distillation, personal and official blog distillation, and in-depth and shallow blog distillation. For opinionated and factual blog distillation, I propose a classification-based method to identify the opinions relevant to queries in terms of syntax and semantics. For personal and official blog distillation, I propose two categories of methods: classification based and topic modeling based. All proposed methods effectively differentiate personal blog posts from official blog posts. For in-depth and shallow blog distillation, I propose a measurement to compute the query-oriented depth of blog posts. I also discuss the relationships among facets. The proposed techniques are evaluated by using 220 TREC 2006-2010 queries over two TREC collections: Blogs06 and Blogs08. The proposed methods significantly outperform the best known results for faceted blog distillation.
For
real-
time tweet ad-hoc
retrieval, users wish to see the tweets that are not only relevant to queries but also be most recent ones. I propose a two-phase approach to address this problem. Tweets can be categorized into two types. One type consists of short messages not containing any URL of a web page. The other type has at least one URL of a web page in addition to a short message. These two types of tweets have different structures. In the first phase, I propose a learning-to-rank method to rank tweets using the divide-and-conquer strategy to address the structural difference of tweets. In…

▼ Loggar är en viktig del av alla system, det ger en inblick i vad som sker. Att analysera loggar och extrahera väsentlig information är en av de största trenderna nu inom IT-branchen. Informationen i loggar är värdefulla resurser som kan användas för att upptäcka anomalier och hantera dessa innan det drabbar användaren. I detta examensarbete dyker vi in i grunderna för informationssökning och analysera undantagsutskrifter i loggar från COSMIC för att undersöka om det är möjligt att upptäcka anomalier med hjälp av retrospektivdata. Detta examensarbete ger även en inblick i möjligheten att visualisera data från loggar och erbjuda en kraftfull sökmotor. Därför kommer vi att fördjupa oss i de tre välkända program som adresserar frågorna i centraliserad loggning: Elasticsearch, Logstash och Kibana. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet att det är möjligt att upptäckta anomalier genom att tillämpa statistiska metoder både på retrospektiv- och realtidsdata.
Logs are an important part of any system; it provides an insight into what is happening. One of the biggest trends in the IT industry is analyzing logs and extracting essential information. The information in the logs are valuable resources that can be used to detect anomalies and manage them before it affects the user In this thesis we will dive into the basics of the information retrieval and analyze exceptions in the logs from COSMIC to investigate whether it is feasible to detect anomalies using retrospective data. This thesis also gives an insight into whether it’s possible to visualize data from logs and offer a powerful search engine. Therefore we will dive into the three well known applications that addresses the issues in centralized logging: Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana. In summary, our results shows that it’s possible to detected anomalies by applying statistical methods on both in retrospective and real time data.

▼ Increasing size and prevalence of
real time information have become important characteristics of databases found on the internet. Due to changing information, the relevancy ranking of the search results also changes. Current methods in information
retrieval, which are based on offline indexing, are not efficient in such dynamic search spaces and cannot quickly provide the most current results. Due to the explosive growth of the internet, stove-piped approaches for dealing with dynamism by simply employing large computational resources are ultimately not scalable. A new processing methodology that incorporates intelligent resource allocation strategies is required. Also, modeling the dynamism in the search space in
real time is essential for effective resource allocation. In order to support multi-grained dynamic resource allocation, we propose to use a partial processing approach that uses anytime algorithms to process the documents in multiple steps. At each successive step, a more accurate approximation of the final similarity values of the documents is produced. Resource allocation algorithm use these partial results to select documents for processing, decide on the number of processing steps and the computation
time allocated for each step. We validate the processing paradigm by demonstrating its viability with image documents. We design an anytime image algorithm that uses a combination of wavelet transforms and machine learning techniques to map low level visual features to higher level concepts. Experimental validation is done by implementing the image algorithm within an established multiagent information
retrieval framework called I-FGM. We also formulate a multiagent resource allocation framework for design and performance analysis of resource allocation with partial processing. A key aspect of the framework is modeling changes in the search space as external and internal dynamism using a grid-based search space model. The search space model divides the documents or candidates into groups based on its partial-value and portion processed. Hence the changes in the search space can be effectively represented in the search space model as flow of agents and candidates between the grids. Using comparative experimental studies and detailed statistical analysis we validate the search space model and demonstrate the effectiveness of the resource allocation framework.

▼ Over the last decade, advancements in performance and efficiency of portable computing devices have allowed them to provide much of the functionality previously restricted to larger computers. Instant communication, GPS navigation, remote banking, and even online shopping are only a few of the activities that can be performed from almost anywhere. However, these conveniences may come at the cost of physical security since portable devices are often operated in a public environment where there is a possibility of being physically exposed or obtained by untrustworthy users. While it is a common practice to secure the data that is transferred from one point to another, the contents of system memory often go unprotected. When physical access to a device is attained, this so called ``data-at-rest" can be exploited to reveal private information.

This thesis investigates the design trade-offs of obscuring data stored within low latency memory on an embedded device. This was achieved by implementing a parameterizable system based on the keystream cache concept. While this solution could be implemented for almost any embedded system, the design was evaluated using reconfigurable hardware in order to reduce development costs. A prototype was built and tested on an Altera FPGA development board where parameters of the architecture were varied to find a solution that reduced performance overhead, while minimizing hardware usage. The resulting application benchmarks show as little as 1% performance overhead while using minimal hardware resources.

▼ Recent real-time heuristic search algorithms have
demonstrated outstanding performance in video game pathfinding.
However, their applications have been thus far limited to that
domain. We proceed with the aim of facilitating wider applications
of real-time search by fostering a greater understanding of the
performance of recent algorithms. We first introduce several
algorithm-independent complexity measures for search spaces and
correlate their values with algorithm performance. The complexity
measures are statistically shown to be strong predictors of
algorithm performance across a set of commercial video game maps.
We then extend this analysis to a wider variety of search spaces in
the first formal application of state of the art real-time search
to domains outside of video game pathfinding.

▼ In this work, I develop an approach to include Global Illumination (GI) effects in non-photorealistic
real-
time rendering;
real-
time rendering is one of the main areas of focus in the gaming industry and the booming virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR) industries. My approach is based on adapting the Barycentric shader to create a wide variety of painting effects. This shader helps achieve the look of a 2D painting in an interactively rendered 3D scene. The shader accommodates robust computation to obtain artistic reflection and refraction. My contributions can be summarized as follows: Development of a generalized Barycentric shader that can provide artistic control, integration of this generalized Barycentric shader into an interactive ray tracer, and interactive rendering of a 3D scene that closely represent the reference painting.

▼ An online near
real-
time system identification system is developed for generating locally linear models of Small Unmanned Air Systems. Automated control surface excitation inputs consisting of doublets, triplets, and frequency sweeps are implemented and used to assure consistency in the excitation and to eliminate errors introduced by user applied inputs. To provide reliable data for processing, a high frequency data acquisition unit is developed and implemented. In addition, a
real-
time vehicle monitoring system is used to provide a human-in-the-loop model update capability, with a goal of ensuring safety of the vehicle. Flight tests and modeling are demonstrated on a fixed-wing Small Unmanned Air System, with locally linear models generated during flight.
Observer Kalman filter identification is used as the primary identification algorithm with adjustments made for
real-
time identification purposes. Identified models are both stored and sent to the ground control station for ground control operator for update verification. Results presented in the thesis show that the system provides a capability for generating accurate locally linear models that are suitable for
real-
time flight control design using model based control techniques and post-flight modal analysis.

▼ Endogenous Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) is a noninvasive technique that has been explored with promising results in a wide range of biomedical applications, including clinical diagnosis. A central issue for the translation of FLIM into the medical field is the development of a robust, fast and cost-effective FLIM instrumentation suitable for in vivo tissue imaging. This thesis directly addressed some of the technical limitations that must be overcome to enable clinical applications of FLIM. The following specific aims were accomplished.
First, endogenous FLIM imaging and high-resolution reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) were integrated into a multimodal bench-top optical system. This multimodal system was used to image oral epithelial cancer in a hamster cheek pouch model. Second, an endoscopic system for fast (0.5-4 frames/second) endogenous wide-field FLIM imaging of oral lesions was developed. The FLIM endoscope system is being evaluate at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, where more than 80 patients presenting oral lesions suspected of pre-cancer or cancer have been imaged up to date. Third, a novel fluorescence lifetime estimation algorithm was developed to achieve robust, accurate, and
real-
time fluorescence lifetime estimation. This algorithm is enabling
real-
time FLIM image processing and visualization during the endoscopic examination of patients with suspicious oral lesions. Finally, the endoscopic endogenous FLIM data from suspicious oral lesions collected at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry was used to develop machine learning algorithms for automated identification of precancerous and cancerous lesions from benign oral epithelial lesions. Our results indicate that endogenous FLIM endoscopy can detect oral epithelial pre-cancer and cancer from a wider range of benign conditions, with levels of sensitivity and specificity above 85%.
Altogether, this work has demonstrated the potentials of endogenous FLIM endoscopy as a clinical tool for early detection of oral epithelial cancer.

▼ Conventional hard
real-
time scheduling is often overly pessimistic due to the worst case execution
time estimation. The pessimism can be mitigated by exploiting imprecise computing in applications where occasional small errors are acceptable. This leverage is investigated in a few previous works, which are restricted to preemptive cases. We study how to make use of imprecise computing in uniprocessor non-preemptive
real-
time scheduling, which is known to be more difficult than its preemptive counterpart. Several heuristic algorithms are developed for periodic tasks with independent or cumulative errors due to imprecision. Simulation results show that the proposed techniques can significantly improve task schedulability and achieve desired accuracy– schedulability tradeoff. The benefit of considering imprecise computing is further confirmed by a prototyping implementation in Linux system.
Mixed-criticality system is a popular model for reducing pessimism in
real-
time scheduling while providing guarantee for critical tasks in presence of unexpected overrun. However, it is controversial due to some drawbacks. First, all low-criticality tasks are dropped in high-criticality mode, although they are still needed. Second, a single high-criticality job overrun leads to the pessimistic high-criticality mode for all high-criticality tasks and consequently resource utilization becomes inefficient. We attempt to tackle aforementioned two limitations of mixed-criticality system simultaneously in multiprocessor scheduling, while those two issues are mostly focused on uniprocessor scheduling in several recent works. We study how to achieve graceful degradation of low-criticality tasks by continuing their executions with imprecise computing or even precise computing if there is sufficient utilization slack. Schedulability conditions under this Variable-Precision Mixed-Criticality (VPMC) system model are investigated for partitioned scheduling and global fpEDF-VD scheduling. And a deferred switching protocol is introduced so that the chance of switching to high-criticality mode is significantly reduced. Moreover, we develop a precision optimization approach that maximizes precise computing of low-criticality tasks through 0-1 knapsack formulation. Experiments are performed through both software simulations and Linux proto- typing with consideration of overhead. Schedulability of the proposed methods is studied so that the Quality-of-Service for low-criticality tasks is improved with guarantee of satisfying all deadline constraints. The proposed precision optimization can largely reduce computing errors compared to constantly executing low-criticality tasks with imprecise computing in high-criticality mode.

▼ Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a declarative approach for modeling and building reactive systems. FRP has been shown to be an expressive formalism for building applications of computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, etc. Priority-based FRP (P-FRP) is a formalism that allows preemption of executing programs and guarantees
real-
time response. Since functional programs cannot maintain state and mutable data, changes made by programs that are preempted have to be rolled back. Hence in P-FRP, a higher priority task can preempt the execution of a lower priority task, but the preempted lower priority task will have to restart after the higher priority task has completed execution. This execution paradigm is called Abort-and-Restart (AR). Current
real-
time research is focused on preemptive of non-preemptive models of execution and several state-of-the-art methods have been developed to analyze the
real-
time guarantees of these models. Unfortunately, due to its transactional nature where preempted tasks are aborted and have to restart, the execution semantics of P-FRP does not fit into the standard definitions of preemptive or non-preemptive execution, and the research on the standard preemptive and non-preemptive may not applicable for the P-FRP AR model. Out of many research areas that P-FRP may demands, we focus on task scheduling which includes task and system modeling, priority assignment, schedulability analysis, response
time analysis, improved P-FRP AR models, algorithms and corresponding software. In this work, we review existing results on P-FRP task scheduling and then present our research contributions: (1) a tighter feasibility test interval regarding the task release offsets as well as a linked list based algorithm and implementation for scheduling simulation; (2) P-FRP with software transactional memory-lazy conflict detection (STM-LCD); (3) a non-work-conserving scheduling model called Deferred Start; (4) a multi-mode P-FRP task model; (5) SimSo-PFRP, the P-FRP extension of SimSo - a SimPy-based, highly extensible and user friendly task generator and task scheduling simulator.

▼ The delay composition theorem, by taking into account the fact that pipeline systems allow concurrent execution, expresses the upper-bounded delay of a real-time task as the sum of two summations, where the first one is linear to the number of stages of the system, and the second one is linear to the number of tasks running on the system. The schedulability analysis based on delay composition theorem performs better than traditional analysis techniques. In this paper we break one assumption that has been hold by previous works on delay composition theorem, namely each task has the same relative priority across all stages. We extend the theorem to pipeline systems running non-preemptive scheduling algorithm which may assign different relative priorities to a task on different stages.

▼ Early and accurate diagnosis of oak wilt, caused by Ceratocystis fagacearum, is important when disease control action is planned. When laboratory diagnosis is needed, standard isolation protocols that are used rely on high quality samples and require up to 14 days for incubation. New methods, involving the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have the potential to offer faster and more reliable plant disease diagnostics. The purpose of this thesis was to 1) compare the use of a nested PCR and real-time PCR protocol to detect C. fagacearum in sapwood drill shavings using published isolation methods and 2) develop standard sampling and processing guidelines for oak wilt diagnostics using the protocols, and 3) test and evaluate the use of the protocols in operational plant disease diagnostic clinics. All assays were performed on samples obtained from Quercus rubra/Q. ellipsoidalis (red oak), Q. macrocarpa (bur oak), and Q. alba (white oak) trees in Minnesota. Drill shavings were collected from actively wilting oak trees as well as from tissues taken the year following branch or whole tree death. Between the assays tested (nested PCR, real-time PCR, and isolation), the nested PCR assay resulted in the highest estimated probability of C. fagacearum detection for branch segments sampled from actively wilting oak trees. For bur and white oak branches that had been dead for >= 1 year, the pathogen was detected using nested PCR (55 and 87% of branch segments, respectively) and real-time PCR (19%, white oak only), while isolation was not able to detect the pathogen in any branch segments. All three detection methods were able to detect the fungus in main stem samples of red oaks with a streaking cambium, however, the molecular protocols resulted in more frequent pathogen detection. Only the molecular assays detected the pathogen in sapwood samples underlying the remnants of C. fagacearum sporulation mats on main stem samples of red oak trees. The fungus was not detected by either technique in branch segments obtained from healthy oaks (controls). Inter-laboratory testing of the nested PCR and real-time PCR protocols supported the previously described differences in assay reliability. Overall, the comparison of traditional isolation and nested PCR by the University of Minnesota Plant Disease Clinic resulted in the same number of trees testing positive for the pathogen by both detection methods. A comparison of isolation methods and real-time PCR was completed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic, which resulted in a higher rate of detection using isolation methods.

Quantifying the impact of real-time information on transit ridership.

▼ Public transit agencies often struggle with service reliability issues; when a bus or train does not arrive on
time, passengers become frustrated and may be less likely to choose transit for future trips. To address reliability problems, transit authorities increasingly provide
real-
time vehicle location and arrival information to riders via web-enabled and mobile devices. Although prior studies have found several benefits of offering this information to passengers, researchers have had difficulty determining if
real-
time information affects ridership levels. Therefore, the objective of this dissertation is to quantify the impact of
real-
time information on public transit ridership.
Statistical and econometric methods were used to analyze passenger behavior in three American cities that share a common
real-
time information platform: New York City, Tampa, and Atlanta. New York City was the setting for a natural experiment in which
real-
time bus information was gradually launched on a borough-by-borough basis over a three year period. Panel regression techniques were used to evaluate route-level bus ridership while controlling for changes in transit service, fares, local socioeconomic conditions, weather, and other factors. In Tampa, a behavioral experiment was performed with a before-after control group design in which access to
real-
time bus information was the treatment variable and web-based surveys measured behavior changes over a three month period. In Atlanta, a methodology to combine smart card fare collection data with web-based survey responses was developed to quantify changes in transit travel of individual riders in a before-after study. In summary, each study utilized different data sources and quantitative methods to assess changes in transit ridership.
The results varied between cities and suggest that the impact of
real-
time information on transit travel is greatest in locations that have high levels of transit service. These findings have immediate implications for decision-makers at transit agencies, who often face pressure to increase ridership with limited resources.

▼ The consequences of watershed urbanization on nearby waterways has become a more relevant concern as urbanization increases and climate change continues to develop. Conventional stormwater management practices are employed to control peak flows from urbanized drainage areas for certain design storm criteria.
Real-
time control (RTC) technology has the potential to enable existing stormwater facilities to improve their performance during storm events different from their design conditions. This study compares the performance of several reactive and predictive rule-based RTC algorithms simulated as retrofits on seven dry detention ponds in a 162 hectare urbanized watershed. The results indicate that RTC algorithms that use rainfall forecast data for predictive decision making have the most potential to reduce stream erosion when applied appropriately throughout the watershed.

▼ Elemental digital beamforming offers increased flexibility for multi-function radio frequency (RF) systems supporting radar and communications applications. As fully digital arrays, components, and subsystems are becoming more affordable in the military and commercial industries, analog components such as phase shifters, filters, and mixers have begun to be replaced by digital circuits which presents efficiency challenges in power constrained scenarios.
Furthermore, multi-function radar and communications systems are exploiting the multiple simultaneous beam capability provided by digital at every element beamforming. Along with further increasing data samples rates and increasing instantaneous bandwidths (IBW),
real time processing in the digital domain has become a challenge due to the amount of data produced and processed in current systems. These arrays generate hundreds of gigabits per second of data throughput or more which is costly to send off-chip to an adjunct processor fundamentally limiting the overall performance of an RF array system.
In this dissertation, digital filtering techniques and architectures are described which calibrate and beamform both narrowband and wideband RF arrays on receive. The techniques are shown to optimize one or many parameters of the digital transceiver system to improve the overall system efficiency. Digitally beamforming in the beamspace is shown to further increase the processing efficiency of an adaptive system compared to state of the art frequency domain approaches by minimizing major processing bottlenecks of generating adaptive filter coefficients. The techniques discussed are compared and contrasted across different hardware processor modules including field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), graphical processing units (GPUs), and central processing units (CPUs).

A SIMD architecture for hard real-time systems.

▼ Emerging safety-critical systems require high-performance data-parallel architectures and, problematically, ones that can guarantee tight and safe worst-case execution times. Given the complexity of existing architectures like GPUs, it is unlikely that sufficiently accurate models and algorithms for timing analysis will emerge in the foreseeable future. This motivates a clean-slate approach to designing a real-time data-parallel architecture. In this work I present Sim-D: a wide-SIMD architecture for hard real-time systems. Similar to GPUs, Sim-D performs hardware strip-mining to schedule the work for a compute kernel in entities called work-groups. Sim-D schedules the work for each work-group as a sequence of uninterruptible access- and execute program phases, interleaving the phases of two work-groups. By providing performance isolation between the memory- and compute resources, the execution time of each phase can be tightly bound through static analysis. I present a predictable closed-page DRAM controller that processes requests for large 1D- and 2D blocks of data, as well as indirect indexed transfers. These large transfers coalesce the data requests of a whole work-group. For a linear 4KiB transfer over a 64-bit data bus, the utilisation provably exceeds 78% for DDR4-3200AA DRAM. For 2D blocks, a well-chosen tiling configuration can achieve near-similar efficiency. I show that bounds on the execution time of indexed transfers are pessimistic by nature, but propose a novel snoopy indexed transfer mechanism that permits more reasonable bounds when the buffer size is limited. Finally, I present a worst-case execution time calculation algorithm for Sim-D. This algorithm is paired with two hardware work-group scheduling policies that deterministically reduce run-time variance. The worst-case execution time analysis algorithm combines static control flow analysis with a simulation-based cost model for execution and DRAM transfers. Its key novelty is the addition of a stage that considers work-group scheduling effects. I show that the work-group scheduling policies degrade performance on average by 8.9%, but permit the calculation of worst-case execution time bounds that are tight within 14.3% on average for benchmarks that avoid inefficient indexed transfers.

▼ Academia has always sought to ride the line between established thought and new developments. No much more so than in the terms of technology. Universities seek to teach using a known and proven method and resource but also stay relevant with new technologies to provide students the knowledge they will need to be competitive in the work place or graduate field.This thesis will explore how the University of Nevada Reno approaches this problem with its
Real Time Operating system course. Namely on how using the established Micro cOS II
Real time Operating System with the new builder phenomena the Raspberry Pi we can overcome the challenge of updating a tried and true lesson plan updated to use technology relevant and interesting to the students of today.
