For successful correction of errors in a digital communication system, information about the channel, such as timing, noise power, fading gain, etc., should normally be available at the receiver. To this end, most receivers use channel parameter estimation and timing recovery modules. However,...

Distributed storage systems (DSSs) traditionally replicate data blocks to achieve storage reliability. Considering the rapid growth of data volume as well as costly maintenance of storage components in DSSs, the replication method is becoming unattractive because of its very large storage...

Detection and diagnosis of plant-wide abnormalities and disturbances are major problems in large-scale complex systems. To determine the root cause(s) of specific abnormalities, it is important to capture the process connectivity and investigate the fault propagation pathways, in which causality...

One of the most stunning results of information theory is the channel coding theorem addressing the maximum rate of reliable communication over a noisy channel, known as channel capacity. In this thesis, we consider two problems emerging from the classic channel coding theorem. First, we study...

In this thesis, two Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are designed in MATLAB to perform causality analysis and alarm management. Finding out the root-cause of a fault scenario or an abnormality in a large industrial process typically requires one to logically analyze cause and effect relationships...

The effectiveness of industrial process monitoring depends heavily on alarm systems. If alarm configurations are not rationally designed, the problem of excessive alarm messages would impact negatively the efficiency or even the safety of plant operations due to distracted information provided to...
