Adding Value Through Digital Craft
This thesis is an attempt to embody sustainability by discovering value that transcends cost or function. Many objects are considered waste when they still function, but no longer delight the user. Using digital modeling tools and computer numerical controlled machines, designers can digitally …

Adding limited reconfigurability to superscalar processors
… As a case study, we analyze the feasibility of adding limited reconfigurability to the Floating Point Units (FPUs) of a general purpose processor. These rather large units execute all floating point operations, and may also be used for integer multiplication. If an application contains few or …

Adding direction to a directionless world
This thesis focuses on the feasibility of adding a new dimension to spatial context referred to as orientation. Based on directional antennas and previous work in RSSI based radio distance estimation, this work shows that using directional antennas alone, the angle between two devices can be …

Javari : adding reference immutability to Java
This paper describes a programming language, Javari, that is capable of expressing and enforcing immutability constraints. The specific constraint expressed is that the abstract state of the object to which an immutable reference refers cannot be modified using that reference. The abstract state is …

Adding identity to device-free localization systems
Recent advances in wireless localization systems show that by transmitting a wireless signal and analyzing its reflections, one can localize a person and track her vital signs without any wearables. These systems can localize with high accuracy even when multiple people are present in the …

Adding support for heterogeneous parallel architectures to Julia
Traditionally, using a GPGPU to accelerate arbitrary calculations has always been difficult. The common GPGPU platforms introduce new languages exclusively for programming the devices, runtime libraries and new tools that have to be integrated into the build process. That means that using them from …

Adding simple simulations to video games to improve realism
<p>In this paper a method of enhancing the realism of certain computer game types, particularly First Person Shooter games, is explored by attempting to include intelligent neutral background characters to the game environment. This method also requires that the inclusion of these background …

Culture, self, and cognition: adding Africa to the mix
Cross-cultural differences in cognition have been well established across the world, and differences in Individualism (IND) and Collectivism (COL) are believed to underlie the majority of these cultural variations. IND-COL measures are frequently used to categorise nations as either IND or COL and …

Object evolution : adding runtime class mutability to the JVM
This thesis proposes an extension to the Java programming language in which a program may specify that an object can change its class at runtime. The project proposes a programmer interface for using this new capability. Given the proposed interface, a particular strategy for implementing the …

Interesting Rule Induction Module: Adding Support for Unknown Attribute Values
IRIM (Interesting Rule Induction Module) is a rule induction system designed to induce particularly strong, simple rule sets. Additionally, IRIM does not require prior discretization of numerical attribute values. IRIM does not necessarily produce consistent rules that fully describe the target …

Adding diversity and realism to LAVA, a vulnerability addition system
In this thesis, I designed and implemented several modifications to LAVA, a vulnerability addition system, with the goal of improving realism and diversity of the injected bugs. Specifically, I describe three separate improvements: a method to add fake bugs alongside real ones in order to decrease …
