Locating And Protecting Facilities Subject To Random Disruptions And Attacks, Hugh Medal
Locating And Protecting Facilities Subject To Random Disruptions And Attacks, Hugh Medal
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Recent events such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan have revealed the vulnerability of networks such as supply chains to disruptive events. In particular, it has become apparent that the failure of a few elements of an infrastructure system can cause a system-wide disruption. Thus, it is important to learn more about which elements of infrastructure systems are most critical and how to protect an infrastructure system from the effects of a disruption. This dissertation seeks to enhance the understanding of how to design and protect networked infrastructure systems from disruptions by developing new mathematical models and …
A Domain Specific Model For Generating Etl Workflows From Business Intents, Wesley Deneke
A Domain Specific Model For Generating Etl Workflows From Business Intents, Wesley Deneke
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) tools have provided organizations with the ability to build and maintain workflows (consisting of graphs of data transformation tasks) that can process the flood of digital data. Currently, however, the specification of ETL workflows is largely manual, human time intensive, and error prone. As these workflows become increasingly complex, the users that build and maintain them must retain an increasing amount of knowledge specific to how to produce solutions to business objectives using their domain's ETL workflow system. A program that can reduce the human time and expertise required to define such workflows, producing accurate ETL solutions with …
Insider Threat Mitigation Models Based On Thresholds And Dependencies, Harini Ragavan
Insider Threat Mitigation Models Based On Thresholds And Dependencies, Harini Ragavan
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Insider threat causes great damage to data in any organization and is considered a serious issue. In spite of the presence of threat prevention mechanisms, sophisticated insiders still continue to attack a database with new techniques. One such technique which remains an advantage for insiders to attack databases is the dependency relationship among data items. This thesis investigates the ways by which an authorized insider detects dependencies in order to perform malicious write operations. The goal is to monitor malicious write operations performed by an insider by taking advantage of dependencies. A term called `threshold' is associated with every data …
Extending The Hybridthread Smp Model For Distributed Memory Systems, Eugene Anthony Cartwright Iii
Extending The Hybridthread Smp Model For Distributed Memory Systems, Eugene Anthony Cartwright Iii
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Memory Hierarchy is of growing importance in system design today. As Moore's Law allows system designers to include more processors within their designs, data locality becomes a priority. Traditional multiprocessor systems on chip (MPSoC) experience difficulty scaling as the quantity of processors increases. This challenge is common behavior of memory accesses in a shared memory environment and causes a decrease in memory bandwidth as processor numbers increase. In order to provide the necessary levels of scalability, the computer architecture community has sought to decentralize memory accesses by distributing memory throughout the system. Distributed memory offers greater bandwidth due to decoupled …
Mitigating Insider Threat In Relational Database Systems, Qussai Yaseen
Mitigating Insider Threat In Relational Database Systems, Qussai Yaseen
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The dissertation concentrates on addressing the factors and capabilities that enable insiders to violate systems security. It focuses on modeling the accumulative knowledge that insiders get throughout legal accesses, and it concentrates on analyzing the dependencies and constraints among data items and represents them using graph-based methods. The dissertation proposes new types of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to represent insiders' knowledgebases. Furthermore, it introduces the Neural Dependency and Inference Graph (NDIG) and Constraints and Dependencies Graph (CDG) to demonstrate the dependencies and constraints among data items. The dissertation discusses in detail how insiders use knowledgebases and dependencies and constraints to get …
Three-Dimensional Scene Reconstruction Using Multiple Microsoft Kinects, Matt Miller
Three-Dimensional Scene Reconstruction Using Multiple Microsoft Kinects, Matt Miller
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Microsoft Kinect represents a leap forward in the form of cheap, consumer friendly, depth sensing cameras. Through the use of the depth information as well as the accompanying RGB camera image, it becomes possible to represent the scene, what the camera sees, as a three-dimensional geometric model. In this thesis, we explore how to obtain useful data from the Kinect, and how to use it for the creation of a three-dimensional geometric model of the scene. We develop and test multiple ways of improving the depth information received from the Kinect, in order to create smoother three-dimensional models. We …
Recognizing Patterns In Transmitted Signals For Identification Purposes, Baha' A. Alsaify
Recognizing Patterns In Transmitted Signals For Identification Purposes, Baha' A. Alsaify
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The ability to identify and authenticate entities in cyberspace such as users, computers, cell phones, smart cards, and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags is usually accomplished by having the entity demonstrate knowledge of a secret key. When the entity is portable and physically accessible, like an RFID tag, it can be difficult to secure given the memory, processing, and economic constraints. This work proposes to use unique patterns in the transmitted signals caused by manufacturing differences to identify and authenticate a wireless device such as an RFID tag. Both manufacturer identification and tag identification are performed on a population of …
