EnviroSuite: An Environmentally-Immersive Programming Framework for Wireless Sensor Networks
To demonstrate the benefits of our framework, we build multiple representative applications upon EnviroSuite, drawn from both tracking systems such as military surveillance, and monitoring systems such as environmental acoustic monitoring. We install these applications into off-the-shelf hardware …

A stochastic programming framework for financial intermediaries liquidity in South Africa
… We propose a novel multistage stochastic programming methodology for liquid asset control. Thus we define how to construct and solve stochastic programming models for liquidity needs-driven sub-portfolios. Our approach is based on scenario trees and makes no assumption on the distributions …

A PROGRAMMING FRAMEWORK TO EASE DEVELOPMENT OF TIGHTLY-COUPLED CLOUD APPLICATIONS
Cloud application development is currently for professionals only. To make the cloud more accessible, cloud applications should ideally be easy to develop so that virtually anyone can develop their own cloud applications. However, they are difficult to develop, because they are essentially …

A Linear Programming Framework for Converse Bounds in Coded Caching with Linear Placement
… to close this gap by developing a computational framework for deriving converse bounds, which characterize the fundamental limits of coded caching with coded placement. These bounds can be formulated as linear programs (LPs) using information-theoretic inequalities, but their size grows doubly …

Graph Theory and Dynamic Programming Framework for Automated Segmentation of Ophthalmic Imaging Biomarkers
… describes the development and validation of a framework called graph theory and dynamic programming (GTDP) to automatically detect and quantify ophthalmic imaging biomarkers. The GTDP framework was validated as an accurate technique for segmenting retinal layers on OCT images. The framework was …

Automatic Conversion of C and C++ Programs to the BuildIt Multi-Stage Programming Framework
… While there are other approaches to multi-stage programming, BuildIt has several advantages: it takes a library-based approach (so it requires no modifications to the compiler and is thus highly portable), and it has excellent ease of use as all the user has to do is change the declared types of …
