Cloud computing allows for elasticity as users can dynamically benefit from new virtual
resources when their workload increases. Such a feature requires highly reactive resource …

Thermosonic flip-chip bonding is a new, solderless technology for area-array connections.
Its simple, clean, and dry process may significantly reduce the assembly cost for prototyping …

An educational ePortfolio usually contains work that a student has collected, reflected on,
constructed, and published to demonstrate personal learning and growth over time. This …

From the emissions of massive quasars scattered across the universe, to the fluctuations in
the stock market and the melodies of music, several real world signals have a power …

Integer time series are often subject to constraints on the aggregation of the integer features
of all occurrences of some pattern within the series. For example, the number of inflexions …

Integer time series are often subject to constraints on the aggregation of the features of all
occurrences of some pattern within the series. For example, the number of inflexions may be …

We introduce the concept of regular expression characteristics as a unified way to concisely
express bounds on time-series constraints. This allows us not only to define time-series …

We describe an optimal linear time complexity method for extracting patterns from sliding
windows of multivariate time series that depends only on the length of the time series. The …

With the generalization of cloud infrastructures usage, energy consumption has become a
major issue. Scheduling heuristics have been proposed to optimize the resource usage of …

Contrary to the standard approach consisting in introducing ad hoc constraints and
designing dedicated algorithms for handling their combinatorial aspect, this thesis takes …
