Semantic Web Foundations For Representing, Reasoning, And Traversing Contextualized Knowledge Graphs, Vinh Thi Kim Nguyen
Semantic Web Foundations For Representing, Reasoning, And Traversing Contextualized Knowledge Graphs, Vinh Thi Kim Nguyen
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
Semantic Web technologies such as RDF and OWL have become World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards for knowledge representation and reasoning. RDF triples about triples, or meta triples, form the basis for a contextualized knowledge graph. They represent the contextual information about individual triples such as the source, the occurring time or place, or the certainty. However, an efficient RDF representation for such meta-knowledge of triples remains a major limitation of the RDF data model. The existing reification approach allows such meta-knowledge of RDF triples to be expressed in RDF by using four triples per reified triple. While reification is …

Browse all Theses and Dissertations
Semantic Web extends the current web, using ontologies, metadata and other technologies to establish links between terms and concepts. This enables machines to automatically integrate information across different platforms utilizing the standard definitions. Furthermore, reasoning agents can infer new knowledge by gathering existing information and these additional connections between them. As a result of being designed and maintained independently, data sources exhibit highly heterogeneous nature. This increases the complexity of data integration and hinders interoperability. However, if we can align the overlapping concepts among different domains of knowledge, the prospect of achieving interoperability and integration without having any intermediate reasoning …
Adapting The Search Space While Limiting Damage During Learning In A Simulated Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle, Monica Sam
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are characterized by closely coupled physical and software components that operate simultaneously on different spatial and temporal scales; exhibit multiple and distinct behavioral modalities; and interact with one another in ways not entirely predictable at the time of design. A commonly appearing type of CPS are systems that contain one or more smart components that adapt locally in response to global measurements of whole system performance. An example of a smart component robotic CPS system is a Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW-MAV) that contains wing motion oscillators that control their wing flapping patterns to enable the …

Development Of An Ultra-Portable Non-Contact Wound Measurement System, Anka Babu Billa
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
Continuous monitoring of changes in wound size is key to correctly predict whether wounds will heal readily with conventional treatment or require more aggressive treatment strategies. Unfortunately, existing wound measurement solutions don't meet the clinical demand due to their limitations in accuracy, operating complexity and time, acquisition and operation cost, or reproducibility, resulting in unnecessarily lengthy recovery or extra treatment procedures, incurring an excessively high financial cost, and in many cases extended usage of addictive painkillers. In this thesis, we proposed and developed a low cost, a portable non-contact solution that combines multi-spectral imaging and a portfolio of imaging processing …

Safestack+: Enhanced Dual Stack To Combat Data-Flow Hijacking, Yan Lin, Xiaoxiao Tang, Debin Gao
Safestack+: Enhanced Dual Stack To Combat Data-Flow Hijacking, Yan Lin, Xiaoxiao Tang, Debin Gao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
SafeStack, initially proposed as a key component of Code Pointer Integrity (CPI), separates the program stack into two distinct regions to provide a safe region for sensitive code pointers. SafeStack can prevent buffer overflow attacks that overwrite sensitive code pointers, e.g., return addresses, to hijack control flow of the program, and has been incorporated into the Clang project of LLVM as a C-based language front-end. In this paper, we propose and implement SafeStack+, an enhanced dual stack LLVM plug-in that further protects programs from data-flow hijacking. SafeStack+ locates data flow sensitive variables on the unsafe stack that could potentially affect …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
RFID ownership transfer protocols (OTPs) transfer tag ownership rights. Recently, there has been considerable interest in such protocols; however, guaranteeing privacy for symmetric-key settings without trusted third parties (TTPs) is a challenge still unresolved. In this paper, we address this issue and show that it can be solved by using channels with positive secrecy capacity. We implement these channels with noisy tags and provide practical values, thus proving that perfect secrecy is theoretically possible. We then define a communication model that captures spatiotemporal events and describe a first example of symmetric-key based OTP that: (i) is formally secure in the …

ความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชันถูกนำมากำหนดฟังก์ชันการทำงานของซอฟต์แวร์ ซึ่งความต้องการดังกล่าวสามารถเกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงได้ทุกช่วงของการพัฒนาซอฟต์แวร์ บางฟังก์ชันสัมพันธ์ฐานข้อมูล หากข้อมูลนำเข้าของฟังก์ชันเกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงจะส่งผลกระทบไปยังสคีมาฐานข้อมูล เมื่อสคีมาฐานข้อมูลได้รับผลกระทบอาจจะเกิดผลกระทบกับอินสแตนซ์ฐานข้อมูลด้วย ในการทดสอบฟังก์ชันที่เกี่ยวข้องกับฐานข้อมูล กรณีทดสอบจะถูกสร้างขึ้นโดยมีรายการข้อมูลนำเข้าเป็นไปตามฟังก์ชัน และมีค่าข้อมูลทดสอบที่มาจากอินสแตนซ์ฐานข้อมูล และตารางการตามรอยจะถูกนำมาใช้เพื่อบอกความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชันกับกรณีทดสอบ ดังนั้นเมื่อเกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงข้อมูลนำเข้าข้องความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชัน จึงจำเป็นต้องวิเคราะห์ผลกระทบต่อสคีมาฐานข้อมูล อินสแตนซ์ฐานข้อมูล ความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชัน กรณีทดสอบ และตารางการตามรอยความต้องการ วิทยานิพนธ์จึงเสนอวิธีการวิเคราะห์ผลกระทบต่อสคีมาฐานข้อมูล อินสแตนซ์ฐานข้อมูล ความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชัน กรณีทดสอบ และตารางการตามรอยความต้องการที่เกิดจากการเปลี่ยนแปลงข้อมูลนำเข้าของความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชัน 3 ประเภทคือ เพิ่ม ลบ แก้ไข โดยผู้วิจัยได้พัฒนาเครื่องมือสนับสนุนการวิเคราะห์ผลกระทบตามที่นำเสนอ โดยเครื่องมือมีความสามารถนำเข้าข้อมูลที่เกี่ยวข้องต่าง ๆ อีกทั้งผู้ใช้ยังสามารถร้องขอเปลี่ยนแปลงข้อมูลนำเข้าของความต้องการเชิงฟังก์ชัน ซึ่งเครื่องมือสามารถวิเคราะห์ผลกระทบที่เกิดขึ้นจากการเปลี่ยนแปลงดังกล่าวและสามารถปรับปรุงสิ่งที่กระทบได้อย่างอัตโนมัติ สุดท้ายเครื่องมือถูกนำไปทดสอบความถูกต้องกับกรณีศึกษาที่แบ่งการทดสอบออกเป็น 4 กรณี ซึ่งผลลัพธ์ที่ได้คือเครื่องมือสามารถวิเคราะห์ผลกระทบและปรับปรุงสิ่งที่ได้รับผลกระทบได้อย่างถูกต้อง
