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.

End-to-end Fine-grained Traceability Analysis in Model Transformations and Transformation Chains
DownloadFall 2017
Over the last few decades, model-driven code generation has been the flagship paradigm used to promote adoption of model-driven engineering among the general software-engineering community. Model-driven code generators integrate model-to-model and model-to-text transformations to build...

Enhancements to Reconstruction Techniques in Computed Tomography Using High Performance Computing
DownloadFall 2012
Computers have been used in diagnostic imaging for decades, but High-Performance Computing (HPC) in diagnostic imaging is rather rare because of the high cost associated with traditional HPC. Recent advancements in shared memory computers and the large market for commodity graphic cards have...

Ensembling Diverse Policies Improves Generalization of Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms to Environmental Changes in Continuous Control Tasks
DownloadFall 2023
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have shown great success in solving continuous control tasks. However, they often struggle to generalize to changes in the environment. Although retraining may help policies adapt to changes, it may be quite costly in some environments. Ensemble...
