MODEL-BASED FRAMEWORK TO DESIGN QoS ADAPTIVE DRE APPLICATIONS

Sandeep Neema, for providing me with an opportunity to work on this project. His direction and guidance throughout the development of the project has been extremely helpful. I would also like to thank Dr. Gabor Karsai for providing me with insightful comments regarding the work done towards this thesis and for providing valuable suggestions to improve it. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Nagabhushan Mahadevan who has, in the initial phases of the project, helped me to develop certain aspects of the work. Additionally, I wish to thank all the members and friends in ISIS who have provided me great company when I needed a break from work. My parents have always been my source of inspiration. They have provided me with boundless encouragement for pursuing my goals and have given me meaningful education. I would like to thank them for this precious gift. I would also like to thank my in-laws for all their blessings and my husband for providing support. His belief in me and constantly helping me to keep the right perspective on the important things has been extremely helpful. Last, but definitely not the least, I want to thank my friend, Sayali, for constantly checking up on the status of my work and for providing motivation to complete it on time.
