Efficient monitoring of large scale infrastructure as a service clouds
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - Thesis,
Cloud computing has had a transformative effect upon distributed systems
research. It has been one of the precursors of supposed big data revolution
and has amplified the scale of software, networks, data and ...
Wireless sensor network control through statistical methods
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - Thesis,
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) form a new paradigm of computing that allows
the physical world to be measured at an unprecedented resolution; and the importance
of the technology has been increasingly recognised. However, ...
Adaptive network traffic management for multi user virtual environments
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-30) - Thesis,
Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVE) are a new class of Internet application with a significant user base. This thesis adds to our understanding of how MUVE network traffic fits into the mix of Internet traffic, and how ...
An approach to situation recognition based on learned semantic models
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-24) - Thesis,
A key enabler of pervasive computing is the ability to drive service delivery through the analysis of situations: Semantically meaningful classifications of system state, identified through analysing the readings from ...
Adaptive dissemination of network state knowledge in structured peer-to-peer networks
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-24) - Thesis,
One of the fundamental challenges in building Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications is to locate resources across a dynamic set of nodes without centralised servers. Structured overlay networks solve this challenge by proving a ...
Using self-reported social networks to improve opportunistic networking
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-19) - Thesis,
Opportunistic networks provide an ad hoc communication medium without the need for an infrastructure network, by leveraging human encounters and mobile devices. Routing protocols in opportunistic networks frequently rely ...
Enabling energy awareness of ICT users to improve energy efficiency during use of systems
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - Thesis,
Data centres have been the primary focus of energy efficiency researches due to their
expanding scales and increasing demands of energy. On the other hand, there are
several orders of magnitude more end-users and personal ...
On dots in boxes, or Permutation pattern classes and regular languages
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - Thesis,
This thesis investigates permutation pattern classes in a language theoretic context. Specifically
we explored the regularity of sets of permutations under the rank encoding. We found that the
subsets of plus- and ...
Using unsupervised machine learning for fault identification in virtual machines
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - Thesis,
Self-healing systems promise operating cost reductions in large-scale computing
environments through the automated detection of, and recovery from, faults.
However, at present there appears to be little known empirical ...
An evaluation of user support strategies for managed learning in a multi user virtual environment
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - Thesis,
The management of online learning environments so that they are effective and efficient presents a significant challenge for institutions and lecturers due to the complexity of requirements in the learning and teaching ...
