Supervisors: Professors Anita Layton, Justin Wan

Kidney cancer is a well-studied and highly prevalent cancer in which tumors grow and obstruct the functional tissues of the kidney. Medical imaging is commonly used to diagnose and verify the presence of these kidney tumors and can give some qualitative intuition on the scope of their proliferation.

Supervisor: Professor Samer Al-Kiswany

We present a comprehensive empirical study of the impact partial network partitions have on cluster managers in data analysis frameworks. Our study shows that modern scheduling approaches are vulnerable to partial network partitions. Partial partitions can lead to a complete cluster pause or a significant loss of performance.
