Algorithms and mechanism design for multi-agent systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-09-17)
A scenario where multiple entities interact with a common environment to achieve individual and common goals either co-operatively or competitively can be classified as a Multi-Agent System. In this thesis, we concentrate ...
Computational techniques for reasoning about and shaping player experiences in interactive narratives
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-06)
Interactive narratives are marked by two characteristics: 1) a space of player interactions, some subset of which are specified as aesthetic goals for the system; and 2) the affordance for players to express self-agency ...
Modeling performance of internet-based services using causal reasoning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-06)
The performance of Internet-based services depends on many
server-side, client-side, and network related factors. Often, the
interaction among the factors or their effect on service performance
is not known or ...
Learning without labels and nonnegative tensor factorization
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-08)
Supervised learning tasks like building a classifier, estimating the error rate of the
predictors, are typically performed with labeled data. In most cases, obtaining labeled data
is costly as it requires manual labeling. ...
Segmental discriminative analysis for American Sign Language recognition and verification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-06)
This dissertation presents segmental discriminative analysis techniques for American Sign Language (ASL) recognition and verification. ASL recognition is a sequence classification problem. One of the most successful ...
Dynamic execution prediction and pipeline balancing of streaming applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-08-30)
The number and scope of data driven streaming applications is growing. Such streaming applications are promising targets for
effectively utilizing multi-cores because of their inherent amenability to pipelined parallelism. ...
Reliable middleware framework for RFID system
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-29)
The reliability of RFID systems depends on a number of factors including: RF interference, deployment environment, configuration of the readers, and placement of readers and tags. While RFID technology is improving rapidly, ...
Buzzwear: supporting multitasking with wearable tactile displays on the wrist
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-08-27)
On-the-go users' interaction with mobile devices often requires high visual attention that can overtax limited human resources. For example, while attending information displayed on a mobile device, on-the-go users who are ...
Stronger security notions for trapdoor functions and applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-30)
Trapdoor functions, introduced in the seminal paper of Diffie and Hellman, are a fundamental notion in modern cryptography. Informally, trapdoor functions are injective functions that are easy to evaluate but hard to ...
Supporting advice sharing for technical problems in residential settings
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-08-26)
Visions of future computing in residential settings often come with assumptions of seamless, well-functioning, properly configured devices and network connectivity. In the near term, however, processes of setup, maintenance, ...
