Abstract: <p>This thesis presents an approach for automated grading of UML Use Case diagrams. Many software engineering courses require students to learn how to model the behavioural features of a problem domain or an object-oriented design in the form of a use case diagram. Because assessing UML assignments is a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation, there is a need for an automated grading… more Full Text: AUTOMATED GRADING OF UML USE CASE DIAGRAMS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, …

Abstract: <p>The residential sector is a major consumer of electricity, and its demand will rise by 65 percent by the end of 2050. The electricity consumption of a household is determined by various factors, e.g. house size, socio-economic status of the family, size of the family, etc. Previous studies have only identified a limited number of socio-economic and dwelling factors. In this thesis, we… more Full Text: Influence of geodemographic factors on electricity consumption and forecasting models A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science …
