Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Simultaneously searching with multiple algorithm settings: an alternative to parameter tuning for suboptimal single-agent search
DownloadFall 2009
Many single-agent search algorithms have parameters that need to be tuned. Although settings found by offline tuning will exhibit strong average performance, properly selecting parameter settings for each problem can result in substantially reduced search effort. We consider the use of...

Single-agent optimization tasks, also referred to as single-player games, include any domain with an agent whose goal is to maximize an objective function(s), without interference from any other agents. Such tasks have been studied for decades. For example, in 2006, NASA automated the design of...

Single-Shot Accurate 3D Reconstruction Using Structured Light Systems Based on Local Optimization
DownloadSpring 2016
Creating 3D models of objects has been studied extensively for several decades. These models have different applications in different fields. As a result, creating 3D models is an interesting area in computer vision. There are many proposed methods for extracting 3D information of 2D images. One...

Skeletonization and segmentation are two important techniques for object representation and analysis. Skeletonization algorithm extracts the “centre-lines” of an object and uses them to efficiently represent the object. It has many applications in various areas, such as computer-aided design,...

Many works of art are created through the process of an artist sketching and then incrementally increasing the fidelity of the artwork. This requires significant amounts of work and effort throughout, but not all steps require the same amount of artistic input. Certain parts only require...

Virtual machines (VMs) are useful mechanisms for better resource utilization, support for special software configurations, and the movement of packaged software across systems. Exploiting VM advantages in a production setting, however, often requires computer systems with the smallest possible...
