Software can be considered a live entity, as it undergoes many alterations throughout its lifecycle. Therefore, code can become rather complex and difficult to understand. More specifically in object-oriented systems, classes may become very large and less cohesive. In order to identify such...

An industrial construction enterprise operating in the City of Edmonton wants to improve its bidding strategies that are currently plagued with uncertainty, lack of information and historical price variability. The present research studies a compilation of documents obtained from company archives...

In this thesis, we present some approximation algorithms for the following clustering problems: Minimum Sum of Radii (MSR), Minimum Sum of Diameters (MSD), and Unsplittable Capacitated Facility Location. Given a metric (V, d) and an integer k, we consider the problem of partitioning the points...

This thesis makes improvement to the process of ahead-of-time feedback-directed optimization (FDO) in compiler design. It examines multiple aspects of FDO from profile collection and representation through to the performance evaluation of FDO code transformations. Two guiding principals knit the...

Anomaly detection in spatial time series is a challenging problem with numerous potential applications. A comprehensive anomaly detection approach not only should be able to detect and identify the emerging anomalies, but it also has to characterize the essence of these anomalies by visualizing...

Lightning is widely acknowledged as a major cause of wildland fires in Canada. On average, 250,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur in Alberta every year. Lightning-caused wildland fires in remote areas have considerably larger suppression costs and a much greater chance of escaping...
