Enhancing Storage Dependability and Computing Energy Efficiency for Large-Scale High Performance Computing Systems

Description: With the advent of information explosion age, larger capacity disk drives are used to store data and powerful devices are used to process big data. As the scale and complexity of computer systems increase, we expect these systems to provide dependable and energy-efficient services and computation. Although hard drives are reliable in general, they are the most commonly replaced hardware components. Disk failures cause data corruption and even data loss, which can significantly affect system per… more

A Performance and Security Analysis of Elliptic Curve Cryptography Based Real-Time Media Encryption

Description: This dissertation emphasizes the security aspects of real-time media. The problems of existing real-time media protections are identified in this research, and viable solutions are proposed. First, the security of real-time media depends on the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) mechanism. We identified drawbacks of the existing SRTP Systems, which use symmetric key encryption schemes, which can be exploited by attackers. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), an asymmetric key cryptography… more

Revealing the Positive Meaning of a Negation

Description: Negation is a complex phenomenon present in all human languages, allowing for the uniquely human capacities of denial, contradiction, misrepresentation, lying, and irony. It is in the first place a phenomenon of semantical opposition. Sentences containing negation are generally (a) less informative than affirmative ones, (b) morphosyntactically more marked—all languages have negative markers while only a few have affirmative markers, and (c) psychologically more complex and harder to process. N… more

Spatial Partitioning Algorithms for Solving Location-Allocation Problems

Description: This dissertation presents spatial partitioning algorithms to solve location-allocation problems. Location-allocations problems pertain to both the selection of facilities to serve demand at demand points and the assignment of demand points to the selected or known facilities. In the first part of this dissertation, we focus on the well known and well-researched location-allocation problem, the "p-median problem", which is a distance-based location-allocation problem that involves selection and… more

SurfKE: A Graph-Based Feature Learning Framework for Keyphrase Extraction

Description: Current unsupervised approaches for keyphrase extraction compute a single importance score for each candidate word by considering the number and quality of its associated words in the graph and they are not flexible enough to incorporate multiple types of information. For instance, nodes in a network may exhibit diverse connectivity patterns which are not captured by the graph-based ranking methods. To address this, we present a new approach to keyphrase extraction that represents the document … more
