Wireless Distributed Computing in Cloud Computing Networks
… functionalities can form a wireless cloud computing network (WCCN) and collaborate on executing complex applications using wireless distributed computing (WDC). Such a dynamically composed virtual cloud environment can offer services and resources hosted by individual nodes for consumption …

Hybrid Parallel Computing Strategies for Scientific Computing Applications
… of parallelism for large-scale, scientific computing simulations. For example, a simulation of the human tonsil at the cellular level involves the computation of the motion and interaction of millions of cells over extended periods of time. Also, the simulation of Radiative Heat Transfer …

Volunteer computing
This thesis presents the idea of volunteer computing, which allows high-performance parallel computing networks to be formed easily, quickly, and inexpensively by enabling ordinary Internet users to share their computers' idle processing power without needing expert help. In recent years, projects …

Computing Radiation Exchange
<p>A computational tool to simulate thermal radiation between surfaces is developed. The output is verified against cases for which the analytical solutions are available. The tool can be used as a stand-alone program, or as an interactive module for CFD. In such an application the module would …

Autonomous Computing Systems
This work discusses <i>autonomous computing systems</i>, as implemented in hardware, and the properties required for such systems to function. Particular attention is placed on shifting the associated complexity into the systems themselves, and making them responsible for their own resources and …

Computing tie strength
Relationships make social media social. But, not all relationships are created equal. We have colleagues with whom we correspond intensely, but not deeply; we have childhood friends we consider close, even if we fell out of touch. Social media, however, treats everybody the same: someone is either …

Efficient mobile computing
Smart handheld devices such as phones, tablets and watches are becoming more and more common rapidly. From a computer architect point of view, processor design for such computer systems is a complex problem. Since the Li-ion battery manufacturing technology is strictly limited by physical and …

Sensor-driven computing
A context-aware computing system is one that can deduce the state of its surroundings using input from sensors and can change its behaviour accordingly. Context-aware devices might personalise themselves to their current user, alter their functionality based on where they were being used, or take …

Provenance-based computing
Relying on computing systems that become increasingly complex is difficult: with many factors potentially affecting the result of a computation or its properties, understanding where problems appear and fixing them is a challenging proposition. Typically, the process of finding solutions is driven …

Computing with Chunks
Modern computing substrates like general-purpose GPUs, massively multi-core processors, and cloud computing clusters offer practically unlimited resources at the cost of requiring programmers to manage those resources for correctness, efficiency, and performance. Instead of using generic …

Computing moral hypotheticals
… that reads and evaluates short textual stories, computing hypotheticals in order to make moral judgments. I identify what specialized knowledge we need in order to know which hypothetical alternatives to consider. I show how to connect abstract knowledge about moral harms to the particular …

Cloud computing models
… of new technology and business models. Cloud computing now offers organizations more choices regarding how to run infrastructures, save costs, and delegate liabilities to third-party providers. It has become an integral part of technology and business models, and has forced businesses to adapt …

Differentiable visual computing
Derivatives of computer graphics, image processing, and deep learning algorithms have tremendous use in guiding parameter space searches, or solving inverse problems. As the algorithms become more sophisticated, we no longer only need to differentiate simple mathematical functions, but have to deal …

Computing in Education: A study of computing in education and ways to enhance students’ perceptions and understanding of computing
There is a huge demand for computing skills in industry due to computing becoming ubiquitous and essential for modern life. Yet despite this, industry struggles to find employees with suitable computing skills and similarly Further and Higher Education institutions have observed a lack of interest …
