Abstract:

An auditor's verdict on client's financial health is delivered in the form of a going concern (GC) opinion. Although an auditor is not required to predict the financial future of a client, stakeholders take the GC opinion as a guideline on a company's financial health. The GC opinion has been a subject of much debate in the financial literature, as it is one of the most widely read parts of an audit report. Researchers and academicians believe that auditors have made costly mistakes in rendering GC opinions. Several factors have been identified as the root causes for these mistakes, including

Abstract:

To effectively manage risk in supply chains, it is important to understand the interrelationships between risk events that might affect the flow of material, products and information within the chain. Typical supply chain risk management tends to treat events as if they are independent and so fail to capture the systemic nature of supply chain risks. This thesis addresses this shortcoming by developing a quantitative modelling process to support systemic supply chain risk analysis. Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) models are able to capture both the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties associated

The stability of rock slopes is a major safety issue in open pit mining. It is important for rock engineers and mine operators to be knowledgeable about their pit wall behaviour, and, more specifically, to recognize appropriate conditions that trigger the need to issue warnings or stop work orders. With the current increase in the number of open pit mines in British Columbia and the deepening of existing pits, there is a need for rational, scientifically based decisions in response to measured pit wall performance. The main objective of this research was to develop and establish a Bayesian Bel

Abstract:

The Bayesian network (BN) formalism is a powerful representation for encoding domains characterised by uncertainty. However, before it can be used it must first be constructed, which is a major challenge for any real-life problem. There are two broad approaches, namely the hand-crafted approach, which relies on a human expert, and the data-driven approach, which relies on data. The former approach is useful, however issues such as human bias can introduce errors into the model. We have conducted a literature review of the expert-driven approach, and we have cherry-picked a number of common met

Abstract:

Large systems often have a long life-span and their system and software architecture design comprise many intricately related elements. The verification and maintenance of these architecture designs require an understanding of how and why the system are constructed. Design rationale is the reasoning behind a design and it provides an explanation of the design. However, the reasoning is often undocumented or unstructured in practice. This causes difficulties in the understanding of the original design, and makes it hard to detect inconsistencies, omissions and conflicts without any explanations

Abstract:

In heterogeneous systems design, partitioning of the functional specifications into hardware and software components is an important procedure. Often, a hardware platform is chosen and the software is mapped onto the existing partial solution, or the actual partitioning is performed in an ad hoc manner. The partitioning approach presented here is novel in that it uses Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to categorize functional components into hardware and software classifications. The BBN's ability to propagate evidence permits the effects of a classification decision made about one function to b

Abstract:

Studying the internal characteristics of a network using measurements obtained from endhosts is known as network tomography. The foremost challenge in measurement-based approaches is the large size of a network, where only a subset of measurements can be obtained because of the inaccessibility of the entire network. As the network becomes larger, a question arises as to how rapidly the monitoring resources (number of measurements or number of samples) must grow to obtain a desired monitoring accuracy. Our work studies the scalability of the measurements with respect to the size of the network.

Diagnosing faults in wastewater treatment, like diagnosis of most problems, requires bi-directional plausible reasoning. This means that both predictive (from causes to symptoms) and diagnostic (from symptoms to causes) inferences have to be made, depending on the evidence available, in reasoning for the final diagnosis. The use of computer technology for the purpose of diagnosing faults in the wastewater process has been explored, and a rule-based expert system was initiated. It was found that such an approach has serious limitations in its ability to reason bi-directionally, which makes it u

FTA is demonstrated to be a special case of BBN and BBN can allow for more complex interactions between nodes than is allowed by FTA. A model can be investigated to determine the components to which failure

Abstract:

Como a complexidade das tarefas realizadas por robôs móveis vêm aumentando a cada dia, a percepção do robô deve ser capaz de capturar informações mais ricas do ambiente, que permitam a tomada de decisões complexas. Entre os possíveis tipos de informação que podem ser obtidos do ambiente, as informações geométricas e semânticas têm papéis importantes na maioria das tarefas designadas a robôs. Enquanto as informações geométricas revelam como os objetos e obstáculos estão distribuídos no espaço, as informações semânticas capturam a presença de estruturas complexas e eventos em andamento no ambien

Abstract:

This Ph.D thesis work is dedicated to automatic facial analysis in 3D, including facial landmarking and facial expression recognition. Indeed, facial expression plays an important role both in verbal and non verbal communication, and in expressing emotions. Thus, automatic facial expression recognition has various purposes and applications and particularly is at the heart of "intelligent" human-centered human/computer(robot) interfaces. Meanwhile, automatic landmarking provides aprior knowledge on location of face landmarks, which is required by many face analysis methods such as face segmenta

Abstract:

In case of an accident in a nuclear power plant (NPP), the fast and cor-rect identification of the NPP state that would give a prediction of a possible radioactive release presents a major challenge to both nuclear power plants and regulators. Such prediction is important so that correct and timely decisions and measures are taken to mitigate accident consequences, such as evacuation of people from areas around the power plant. Recent research work [2][3] proposes analyzing the NPP using the Bayesian Belief Network models as a solution to this problem. A BBN is a graphical model that represent

Abstract:

Companies, across the globe are concerned with risks that impair their ability to produce quality products at a low cost and deliver them to customers on time. Risk assessment, comprising of both external and internal elements, prepares companies to identify and manage the risks affecting them. Although both external/supply chain and internal/production line risk assessments are necessary, internal risk assessment is often ignored. Internal risk assessment helps companies recognize vulnerable sections of production operations and provide opportunities for risk mitigation. In this research, a n
