Повний текст джерела3D integration technology is driving a strong paradigm shift in the design of electronic systems. The ability to tightly integrate functions from different technology nodes (analog, digital, memory) and physical domains (MEMS, optics, etc) offers great opportunities for innovation (More than Moore). However, leveraging this potential requires efficient CAD tools to compare architectural choices at early design stages and to co-optimize multiphysics systems.This thesis work is divided into two parts. The first part is dedicated to the problem of partitioning a system into multiple dies. A 3D floorplanning tool was developed to optimize area, temperature and the interconnect structure of a 3DIC. Moreover, a meta-optimization approach based on genetic algorithms is proposed to automatically configure the key parameters of the floorplanner. Tests were carried out on architectural benchmarks and a NoC based multiprocessor to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed techniques.In the second part of the thesis, a hierarchical design methodology adapted to heterogeneous systems is presented. The method combines the bottom-up and top-down approaches with Pareto-front techniques and response surface modeling. The Pareto front of lower level blocks are extracted and converted into predictive performance models that can be stored and reused in a top-down optimization process. The design flow is demonstrated on an operational amplifier as well as on the synthesis of an optoelectronic data link with three abstraction levels

Повний текст джерелаThis work is a contribution in the field of theoretical chemistry and surface science. The joint computational and experimental studies investigated the atomic structure of ultrathin silica and iron-doped silica films formed on the Ru(0001) surface and water films formed on the MgO(001) surface. The atomic structure models were obtained using either the educated guess approach or the genetic algorithm that was designed and implemented within the DoDo package. The properties simulated for the resulting models are in a very good agreement with the experimental data (scanning tunnelling microscopy, infrared spectroscopy). The successful structure determination using the DoDo program shows that the genetic algorithm technique is capable of systematic and extensive exploration of the energy landscapes for 2D-periodic systems.

Boats and marine vehicles of different types have long been a mainstay in the growth and development of this country's military, economic and transportation infrastructure. Whether being used for fishing purposes in the Pacific Northwest or moving oil and gas to different cities along the eastern seaboard, marine transportation plays a critical role in day to day life. Long before the invention of gasoline powered engines, most boats were powered by wind which was harnessed by the use of sails. In the 1800's sailboats were used extensively for fishing, delivering mail and a number of other important activities. Nowadays, the use of sailboats is more geared towards recreational endeavors including racing or simply cruising local waterways. It is the responsibility of the sailboat designer to deliver options and products commensurate with the prospective owner's preferences. As such, it is important for the designer to develop a process or system which incorporates useful tools which can successfully evaluate design alternatives. In doing so, useful information will be produced by which the owner and designer can collaboratively make decisions. Unlike a military or commercial ship, the owner of a sailboat is most likely the main operator and shares a personal connection with the boat. This study modifies a systems-engineering approach to the ship design process, in order to properly incorporate modern sailboat evaluation techniques as well as elements of traditional sailboat design. In doing so, the operation provides a process and tool benchmark for future sailboat design teams at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Повний текст джерелаA aquisição de dados sísmicos de reflexão multicanal 3D/4D usando Ocean Bottom NODES de 4 componentes constitui atualmente um sector de importância crescente no mercado da aquisição de dados reflexão sísmica marinha na indústria petrolífera. Este tipo de dados permite obter imagens de sub-superfície de alta qualidade, com baixos níveis de ruído, banda larga, boa iluminação azimutal, offsets longos, elevada resolução e aquisição de tanto ondas P como S. A aquisição de dados é altamente repetitiva e portanto ideal para campanhas 4D. No entanto, existem diferenças significativas na geometria de aquisição e amostragem do campo de ondas relativamente aos métodos convencionais com streamers rebocados à superfície, pelo que é necessário desenvolver de novas ferramentas para o processamento deste tipo de dados. Esta tese investiga três aspectos do processamento de dados de OBSs/NODES ainda não totalmente resolvidos de forma satisfatória: a deriva aleatória dos relógios internos, o posicionamento de precisão dos OBSs e a implementação de algoritmos de migração prestack 3D em profundidade eficientes para obtenção de imagens precisas de subsuperfície. Foram desenvolvidos novos procedimentos para resolver estas situações, que foram aplicados a dados sintéticos e a dados reais. Foi desenvolvido um novo método para detecção e correcção de deriva aleatória dos relógios internos, usando derivadas de ordem elevada. Foi ainda desenvolvido um novo método de posicionamento de precisão de OBSs usando multilateração e foram criadas ferramentas de interpolação/extrapolação dos modelos de velocidades 3D de forma a cobrirem a extensão total área de aquisição. Foram implementados algoritmos robustos de filtragem para preparar o campo de velocidades para o traçado de raios e minimizar os artefactos na migração Krichhoff pre-stack 3D em profundidade. Os resultados obtidos mostram um melhoramento significativo em todas as situações analisadas. Foi desenvolvido o software necessário para o efeito e criadas soluções computacionais eficientes. As soluções computacionais desenvolvidas foram integradas num software standard de processamento de sísmica (SPW) utilizado na indústria, de forma a criar, conjuntamente com as ferramentas já existentes, um workflow de processamento integrado para dados de OBS/NODES, desde a aquisição e controle de qualidade à produção dos volumes sísmicos migrados pre-stack em profundidade.
Ocean bottom recording of 3D/4D multichannel seismic reflection data using 4 component Nodes is a recent and growing major segment in the marine seismic acquisition market in the oil and gas industry. These data provide high quality subsurface imaging with low ambient noise levels, broad bandwidth, wide azimuth illumination, long-offset, high resolution, and recordings of both P and S waves. In addition, data acquisition is highly repeatable and therefore ideal for 4D surveys. However, there are significant differences in acquisition geometry and wavefield sampling, compared to the conventional towed streamer data, which require new tools to be developed for data processing. This thesis investigates three key issues in OBS/NODE data processing that have not yet been satisfactorily fully solved: random clock drifts, accurate OBS positioning and efficient 3D pre-stack depth migration algorithms for accurate subsurface imaging. New procedures were developed to tackle these issues and these were tested on synthetic and real datasets. A new method for random clock drift was created using high order derivatives to detect and correct these residual drifts. A new accurate OBS/NODE positioning algorithm, using multilateration was developed. Tools were created for interpolation/extrapolation of 3D velocity functions across the full extent of the acquisition survey, and robust smoothing algorithms were used to prepare the velocity field to be used for ray tracing and prestack 3D Kirchhoff depth migration, so as to minimize migration artifacts. The results obtained show a clear improvement in all situations analyzed. Dedicated software tools were created and computationally efficient solutions were implemented. These were incorporated into an industry standard seismic processing software package (SPW), so as to provide, together with the already existing tools, a fully integrated processing workflow for OBS/NODE data, from data acquisition and quality control, to the production of the final pre-stack depth migrated seismic volumes.

This thesis revisits the Alternative Propulsion Study results for a MSC, which were constrained by the inability of the Navyâ s design tools to adequately search the full design space. This thesis will also assess automated methods to improve the APS approach, and examine a range of power generation alternatives using realistic operational profiles and requirements to develop a notional medium surface combatant (CGXBMD). It is essential to base conclusions on the non-dominated design space, and this new approach will use a multi-objective optimization to find non-dominated designs in the specified design space and use new visualization tools to assess the characteristics of these designs. This automated approach and new tools are evaluated in the context of the revisited study.

Повний текст джерелаThe Internet of Things (IoT) is nowadays globally a mean of innovation and transformation for many companies. Applications extend to a large number of domains, such as smart cities, smart homes, healthcare, etc. The Gartner Group estimates an increase up to 21 billion connected things by 2020. The large span of "things" introduces problematic aspects, such as conformance and interoperability due to the heterogeneity of communication protocols and the lack of a globally-accepted standard. The large span of usages introduces problems regarding secure deployments and scalability of the network over large-scale infrastructures. This thesis deals with the problem of the validation of the Internet of Things to meet the challenges of IoT systems. For that, we propose an approach using the generation of tests from models (MBT). We have confronted this approach through multiple experiments using real systems thanks to our participation in international projects. The important effort which is needed to be placed on the testing aspects reminds every IoT system developer that doing nothing is more expensive later on than doing it on the go

Повний текст джерелаMiniaturization of electronic components has led to the introduction of complex electronic systems which are integrated onto a single chip with multiprocessors, so-called Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC). The majority of recent embedded systems are based on massively parallel MPSoC architectures, hence the necessity of developing embedded parallel applications. Embedded parallel application design becomes more challenging: It becomes a parallel programming for non-trivial heterogeneous multiprocessors with diverse communication architectures and design constraints such as hardware cost, power, and timeliness. A challenge faced by many developers is the profiling of embedded parallel applications so that they can scale over more and more cores. This is especially critical for embedded systems powered by MPSoC, where ever demanding applications have to run smoothly on numerous cores, each with modest power budget. Moreover, application performance does not necessarily improve as more cores are added. Application performance can be limited due to multiple bottlenecks including contention for shared resources such as caches and memory. It becomes time consuming for a developer to pinpoint in the source code the bottlenecks decreasing the performance. To overcome these issues, in this thesis, we propose a fully three automatic methods which detect the instructions of the code which lead to a lack of performance due to contention and scalability of processors on a chip. The methods are based on data mining techniques exploiting gigabytes of low level execution traces produced by MPSoC platforms. Our profiling approaches allow to quantify and pinpoint, automatically the bottlenecks in source code in order to aid the developers to optimize its embedded parallel application. We performed several experiments on several parallel application benchmarks. Our experiments show the accuracy of the proposed techniques, by quantifying and pinpointing the hotspot in the source code

Повний текст джерелаThis work takes place in the framework of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), often called "Data Mining". This domain is both a main research topic and an application field in companies. KDD aims at discovering previously unknown and useful knowledge in large databases. In the last decade many researches have been published about association rules, which are frequently used in data mining. Association rules, which are implicative tendencies in data, have the advantage to be an unsupervised model. But, in counter part, they often deliver a large number of rules. As a consequence, a postprocessing task is required by the user to help him understand the results. One way to reduce the number of rules - to validate or to select the most interesting ones - is to use interestingness measures adapted to both his/her goals and the dataset studied. Selecting the right interestingness measures is an open problem in KDD. A lot of measures have been proposed to extract the knowledge from large databases and many authors have introduced the interestingness properties for selecting a suitable measure for a given application. Some measures are adequate for some applications but the others are not. In our thesis, we propose to study the set of interestingness measure available in the literature, in order to evaluate their behavior according to the nature of data and the preferences of the user. The final objective is to guide the user's choice towards the measures best adapted to its needs and in fine to select the most interesting rules. For this purpose, we propose a new approach implemented in a new tool, ARQAT (Association Rule Quality Analysis Tool), in order to facilitate the analysis of the behavior about 40 interestingness measures. In addition to elementary statistics, the tool allows a thorough analysis of the correlations between measures using correlation graphs based on the coefficients suggested by Pearson, Spearman and Kendall. These graphs are also used for identifying the clusters of similar measures. Moreover, we proposed a series of comparative studies on the correlations between interestingness measures on several datasets. We discovered a set of correlations not very sensitive to the nature of the data used, and which we called stable correlations. Finally, 14 graphical and complementary views structured on 5 levels of analysis: ruleset analysis, correlation and clustering analysis, most interesting rules analysis, sensitivity analysis, and comparative analysis are illustrated in order to show the interest of both the exploratory approach and the use of complementary views

This thesis is an investigation into issues involving computers, information, and automation in the designing of large-scale environments. It is an attempt to understand the issues at root in developing an "intelligent" design environment which provides tools for handling tasks often too mundane and distracting for sustained design activity. In the process of devising these tools, fundamental issues regarding the elements or objects of design, their characteristics, and the transformations they undergo are revealed in light of the particular capabilities of the computer. This study was undertaken as an attempt to discover these issues for myself by working to create a system of tools on top of an existing computer-aided design program - a personalized design environment. The path of discovery taken is reconstructed in this paper, in part to illustrate some of the pitfalls of dealing with real-world programming tasks, and also to demonstrate the revelation of the inherent issues that are involved when attempting such a project. Although the programmed end-product is incomplete and greatly simplifies the true nature of such a design problem, the lessons learned are distilled and clarified to provide a basis for further work and investigation in this field. The first part is a synopsis of issues related to computer-aided design: an historic overview, current applications, on-going research and forecasts. This section is provided to illustrate the foundation of understanding that I had when undertaking to develop tools of my own. The second part includes the initial tool concepts and their intended purposes, a discussion of hardware and software platforms, and numerous considerations I was compelled to address while developing modeling and information-handling components of the design environment. Part three deals in depth with a sophisticated tool proposal for instantiating urban type elements for illustrating a possible "realization" of a schematic design; this tool was not able to be developed on the chosen platform. I have also included some possible scenarios for using the modeling and information handling tools.

Повний текст джерелаMind mapping is a communication tool that has been around for decades though it is rarely discussed as a tool for facilitating organizational change. It is possible for this underutilized communication tool and the ever-present challenge of organizational change to work in harmony on a more consistent basis. This exploratory research asked Change Leaders and Change Participants about their current mind mapping usage or experience, and requested their input on the use of mind mapping for organizational change efforts. There were 76 Change Leaders and 11 others who self-described themselves as Change Participants who responded to a virtual data collection process. Overall change readiness levels were predominantly at the moderate level, 37% of Change Leaders and 45% of Change Participants, an encouraging statistic for organizations considering change. Respondents reported that mind mapping is mostly used as a personal tool for organization, planning events, setting goals, and writing papers. Change Leaders (n=20) who reported using mind mapping professionally, commented they used it primarily for communication and collaboration, and project and systems planning and design. Specific practices included coaching, clarifying objectives, evaluating and monitoring projects, assessing lessons learned, redesigning curriculum, realigning resources, setting expectations, objectives and goals, and establishing timelines. One study conclusion was that these change practitioners understood how change is inevitable, and indicated their willingness to actively participate. This makes it important for organizations to capitalize on change participants’ knowledge and enthusiasm to enable successful change and enhance employee well-being. Concluding that attitudes, behaviors, and feelings toward change vary based on the role one plays, Change Leaders can benefit from the efforts of Change Participants by simply respecting their role and knowledge and involving them in the entire process, from planning to implementation. It is a foregone conclusion that communication is essential for any change process regardless of what specific tool is used, but the importance of selecting an appropriate method(s) based on the situation, message, and the recipients is critical. Using mind mapping as a change management tool specifically designed for certain aspects of organizational change is highly recommended, as it allows for both linear and non-linear communication.
