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.

Behavioral Verification of Small Networks of State-Machines Built with Arduino-like Processors
DownloadFall 2012
Inexpensive yet versatile limited-capability processors enable computing to be embedded in many kinds of devices and situations. Most applications are simple purpose-programmed reactive systems that interact with the environment through sensors and actuators. Because the processors are limited...

QUIC has been a fast-evolving protocol and, with its standardization as part of HTTP/3, it is an important part of the World Wide Web. Since its introduction in 2014, QUIC changed significantly from Google QUIC (gQUIC) to an IETF standard (2021). Understanding the performance of the current...

Facial expressions and other body language are important for human commu- nication. They complement speech and make the process of communication simple and sustainable. However, the process of communication using existing approaches to human-machine interaction is not intuitive as that of human...

In machine learning and data mining, outliers—data points significantly differing from the majority—often pose challenges by introducing irrelevant information. Unsupervised methods are often used for detecting them as the information about outliers is unknown. Global-Local Outlier Scores based...

In this dissertation, I discuss several important problems in the area of bio-relation discovery (BRD). Discovering bio-relations is an important problem that arises frequently in bioinformatics. It involves identifying relationships (usually pairwise) between bio-entities. These relationships...

The current computer input devices are either direct or indirect based on how interactive input data is interpreted by a computing system. Existing research have shown the benefits and limitations of both input modalities, and found that the limits of one input mode are the advantages of the...

We investigate the use of machine learning to create effective heuristics for single-agent search. Our method aims to generate a sequence of heuristics from a given weak heuristic h{0} and a set of unlabeled training instances using a bootstrapping procedure. The training instances that can be...
