Master’s Thesis Presentation • Human-Computer Interaction • Analyzing Barehand Input Mappings for Video Timeline Control and Object Pointing on Smart TVs

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Futian Zhang, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Edward Lank

Smart TVs are getting popular in recent few years. Given the emerging feature of distant bare hand control, one challenge is how to perform common tasks with this new input modality. Two tasks are discovered in this thesis including video timeline control task and object pointing task.

PhD Defence • Symbolic Computation • Fast Algorithms for Computing with Integer Matrices: Normal Forms and Applications

Please note: This PhD defence will be given online.

Stavros Birmpilis, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisors: Professors George Labahn, Arne Storjohann

The focus of this thesis is on fundamental computational problems in exact integer linear algebra. Specifically, for a nonsingular integer input matrix A ∈ Zn×n, we consider problems such as linear system solving and computing integer matrix normal forms.

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Programming Languages • Exception Handling in Cforall

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Andrew Beach, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Peter Buhr

The Cforall programming language is an evolutionary refinement of the C programming language, adding modern programming features without changing the programming paradigms of C. One of these modern programming features is more powerful error handling through the addition of an exception handling mechanism (EHM).
