Modeling and Runtime Systems for Coordinated Power-Performance Management
Emergent systems in high-performance computing (HPC) expect maximal efficiency to achieve the goal of power budget under 20-40 megawatts for 1 exaflop set by the Department of Energy. To optimize efficiency, emergent systems provide multiple power-performance control techniques to throttle …

Emergent software systems
Contemporary software systems often have millions of lines of code that interact over complex infrastructures. The development of such systems is very challenging due to the increasing complexity of services and the high level of dynamism of current operating environments. In order to support the …

Interpretation at the Controller's Edge: The Role of Graphical User Interfaces in Virtual Archaeology
… in symmetrical archaeology, manifests in the "emergent systems" of gameplay that arise out of embodied experiences with archaeological sites. This thesis will situate the theoretical implications of our interface within some longstanding debates about archaeological objectivity, representation, …

The future of tabletop games
… complex simulations to let users interact with emergent systems. Where tabletop games require painstaking reading of convoluted written rules, digital games teach their rules through interactive play. They track and adapt dynamically to player actions to ensure competitiveness. And they can …

Capabilities Engineering:Promoting Change-Reduction and Constructing Change-Tolerant Systems
… approach for constructing complex emergent systems such that they are change-tolerant, and the development effort promotes change-reduction. The inherent complexity of software systems increases their susceptibility to change when subjected to the vagaries of user needs, technology …

The emergence of landscape urbanism in London: a critical landscape analysis of urban nature under the Anthropocene
… Design School (GSD). Making claims towards self- emergent systems, processes, networks, grids, and matrices, landscape urbanism tries to dissolve any ontological distinction between landscape, urban ecology, and infrastructure. This thesis looks to unsettle this claim by developing a ‘critical …

Modeling collective dynamics of social systems: Incorporating various social mechanisms into agent-based models
<p>I present three original papers demonstrating complex behavior arising from collective dynamics in agent-based models (ABM) focusing on evolutionary and cognitive mechanisms. The first report demonstrates the coupled emergence of cooperation and selfish punishment behavior in groups of …

Cultivating risk : weather insurance, technology and financialization in India
… of convergence towards automated and index-based systems has been followed by the disempowerment of farmers who have trouble disputing the terms and eligibility of coverage especially in the case of index insurance contracts, where disputes related to measurement errors and manipulation have had a …
