OOCFA2: a PDA-based higher-order flow analysis for object-oriented programs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-02-04)
The application of higher-order PDA-based flow analyses to object-oriented languages enables comprehensive and precise characterization of program behavior, while retaining practicality with efficiency.
We implement one ...
A multiscale framework for mixed reality walking tours
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-01-17)
Mixed Reality experiences, that blend physical and virtual objects, have become commonplace on handheld computing devices. One common application of these technologies is their use in cultural heritage "walking tours." ...
Trust and reputation for formation and evolution of multi-robot teams
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-15)
Agents in most types of societies use information about potential partners to determine whether to form mutually beneficial partnerships. We can say that when this information is used to decide to form a partnership that ...
System abstractions for resource scaling on heterogeneous platforms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-18)
The increasingly diverse nature of modern applications makes it critical for future systems to have dynamic resource scaling capabilities which enable them to adapt their resource usage to meet user requirements. Such ...
Memory region: a system abstraction for managing the complex memory structures of multicore platforms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-18)
The performance of modern many-core systems depends on the effective use of their complex cache and memory structures, and this will likely become more pronounced with the impending arrival of on-chip 3D stacked and ...
Virtual platforms: achieving performance and isolation properties on shared multicore servers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-19)
Multicore servers in datacenter systems are routinely used to run multiple disparate application workload mixes. Analysis performed in Google's
datacenters show, for instance, components (i.e., processes) of up to 19 ...
A computational model of suspense for the augmentation of intelligent story generation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-18)
In this dissertation, I present Dramatis, a computational human behavior model of suspense based on Gerrig and Bernardo's de nition of suspense. In this model, readers traverse a search space on behalf of the protagonist, ...
Value methods for efficiently solving stochastic games of complete and incomplete information
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-08-23)
Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) poses the same planning problem as traditional reinforcement learning (RL): What actions over time should an agent take in order to maximize its rewards? MARL tackles a challenging ...
Monitoring and analysis system for performance troubleshooting in data centers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-11-18)
It was not long ago. On Christmas Eve 2012, a war of troubleshooting began in Amazon data centers. It started at 12:24 PM, with an mistaken deletion of the state data of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Service (ELB for short), ...
Generalized N-body problems: a framework for scalable computation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-08-26)
In the wake of the Big Data phenomenon, the computing world has seen a number of computational paradigms developed in response to the sudden need to process ever-increasing volumes of data. Most notably, MapReduce has ...
