The role and contribution of the Chief Technology Officer
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringIfM Centre for Technology ManagementDarwin College, 2011-10-11)
The Role and Contribution of the Chief Technology Officer
The role of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) came about because of new organisational demands on technology leaders in the 1980s. The initial research objective ...
Software lock elision for x86 machine code
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-07-12)
More than a decade after becoming a topic of intense research there is no
transactional memory hardware nor any examples of software transactional memory
use outside the research community. Using software transactional ...
Vibration from underground railways: considering piled foundations and twin tunnels
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-02-08)
Accurate predictions of ground-borne vibration levels in the vicinity of an underground railway are greatly sought after in modern urban centers. Yet the complexity involved in simulating the underground environment means ...
A model personal energy meter
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-10-11)
Every day each of us consumes a significant amount of energy, both directly through transport, heating and use of appliances, and indirectly from our needs for the production of food, manufacture of goods and provision of ...
Generalised Bayesian matrix factorisation models
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSt John's College, 2011-03-15)
Factor analysis and related models for probabilistic matrix factorisation are of central importance to the unsupervised analysis of data, with a colourful history more than a century long. Probabilistic models for matrix ...
Long-term behaviour of twin tunnels in London clay
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCorpus Christi College, 2011-03-15)
The assessment of ageing tunnels requires a deeper understanding of the long-term behaviour of twin tunnels, whilst lack of permeability data limits the accuracy of long-term predictions. This thesis therefore investigates ...
Bayesian methods in music modelling
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-03-15)
This thesis presents several hierarchical generative Bayesian models of musical signals designed to improve the accuracy of existing multiple pitch detection systems and other musical signal processing applications whilst ...
Cojumping: Evidence from the US Treasury Bond and Futures Market
(2011-02)
The basis between spot and future prices will be affected by jump behavior in each asset price, challenging intraday hedging strategies. Using a formal cojumping test this paper considers the cojumping behaviour of spot ...
Large eddy simulation of supersonic combustion with application to scramjet engines
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-07-12)
This work evaluates the capabilities of the RANS and LES techniques for the simulation of high speed reacting flows. These methods are used to gain further insight into the physics encountered and regimes present in ...
A unified framework for resource-bounded autonomous agents interacting with unknown environments
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-07-12)
The aim of this thesis is to present a mathematical framework for conceptualizing and constructing adaptive autonomous systems under resource constraints. The first part of this thesis contains a concise presentation of ...
