Abstract:

In the last fifty years, computational mechanics has gained the attention of a large number of disciplines, ranging from physics and mathematics to biology, involving all the disciplines that deal with complex systems or processes. With ϵ-machines, computational mechanics provides powerful models that can help characterizing these systems. To date, an increasing number of studies concern the use of such methodologies; nevertheless, an attempt to make this approach more accessible in practice is lacking yet. Starting from this point, this thesis aims at investigating a more practical approach t

Abstract:

The definition and quantification of complexity is a source of debate. A promising answer, from Crutch field, Shalizi and co-workers, identifies complexity with the amount of information required to optimally predict the future of a process. Computational mechanics computes this quantity for discrete time series; quantifying the complexity and generating minimal, optimally predictive models. Here we adapt and apply these methods to two very different problems. First, we extend computational mechanics to continuous data which cluster around discrete values. This is applied to the analysis of si

Abstract:

Computational design is the study of how programmable computers can be integrated into the process of design. It is not simply the use of pre-compiled computer aided design software that aims to replicate the drawing board, but rather the development of computer algorithms as an integral part of the design process. Programmable machines have begun to challenge traditional modes of thinking in architecture and engineering, placing further emphasis on process ahead of the final result. Just as Darwin and Wallace had to think beyond form and inquire into the development of biological organisms to

Learners' affective states correlate with learning outcomes. A key aspect of instructional design is the choice of modalities by which learners interact with instructional content.

A new specialist design role is emerging in the construction industry.

The use of the term computational thinking, introduced in 2006 by Jeanette Wing, is having repercussions in the field of education. The term brings into sharp focus the concept of thinking about problems in a way that can lead to solutions that may be implemented in a computing device. Implementation of these solutions may involve the use of programming languages. This study explores ways in which programming can be employed as a tool to teach computational thinking and problem solving.

Computational sensing has demonstrated the ability to ameliorate or eliminate many trade-offs in traditional sensors. Rather than attempting to form a perfect image, then sampling at the Nyquist rate, and reconstructing the signal of interest prior to post-processing, the computational sensor attempts to utilize a priori knowledge, active or passive coding of the signal-of-interest combined with a variety of algorithms to overcome the trade-offs or to improve various task-specific metrics.

The rise of high-throughput scientific experimentation and data collection has introduced new classes of statistical and computational challenges. The technologies driving this data explosion are subject to complex new forms of measurement error, requiring sophisticated statistical approaches. Simultaneously, statistical computing must adapt to larger volumes of data and new computational environments, particularly parallel and distributed settings. This dissertation presents several computational and theoretical contributions to these challenges. In chapter 1, we consider the problem of estim

Abstract:

Les systèmes distribués sont au cœur des applications informatiques modernes, permettant l’exécution collaborative des tâches sur des composants interconnectes. Cependant, leur nature répartie pose des défis majeurs en matière de communication. Cette thèse étudie ces enjeux en analysant les limites théoriques de l’information et en proposant des solutions pour améliorer les performances des systèmes de calcul distribue (DC) et d’estimation distribuée. Dans les systèmes DC, la parallélisation des tâches réduit les temps d’exécution, mais la phase shuffle reste un goulot d’étranglement, en parti

Abstract:

The Kinematic-wave model is one of the models proposed to simulate vehicular traffic. It has not received widespread use because of poor understanding of associated interface conditions and early use of incorrect numerical schemes used. This thesis analyzes mathematically correct boundary and interface conditions in the context of the Godunov method as the numerical scheme for the simulation software created. This thesis simulates a set of scenarios originally proposed by Ross, to verify the validity of simulation. The results of the simulation are compared against the corresponding results of

Abstract:

Treballar amb dades sempre és una part important del periodisme, però la seva combinació amb la tecnologia és una innovació per als diaris. En els últims anys, els diaris han començat a adaptar el periodisme de dades i el periodisme de dades s'ha convertit en part de les redaccions a contra de l'entorn periodístic tradicional dels diaris espanyols. Aquesta tesi té com a objectiu analitzar les pràctiques del periodisme de dades esportius a Espanya amb enfocament quantitatiu i qualitatiu amb anàlisi de contingut de 1068 articles de periodisme de dades publicades per 6 diaris (Marca, Mundo Deport
