  • Managing bug reports in free/open source software (FOSS) communities

    Creator:
    Mohan, Nitin
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities often use open bug reporting to allow users to participate by reporting bugs. This practice can lead to more duplicate reports, as inexperienced users can be less rigorous about researching existing bug reports. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent of this...

  • Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

    Creator:
    Forrest, Darren J.
    Abstract:
    Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

  • Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

    Creator:
    Davidson, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...

  • Gender and participation in early stages of the free/open source software joining process

    Creator:
    Gilbertson, Claire E.
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) is a powerful development paradigm for creating software. Increasingly more FOSS projects, like Firefox and Android, are integrated into mainstream technology. It is important that FOSS projects serve its diverse user base well. Several surveys have found that existing FOSS communities are very homogenous populations and...

  • Diagramming practices in open source software development

    Creator:
    Chung, Eunyoung
    Abstract:
    Visual information presented in diagrams promotes information processing both in an individual and in collaborative work. Previous literature has identified the role of diagrams in understanding information processing in a variety of disciplines. In software engineering, diagrams are a prevalent method involved in process development: diagrams are used for system...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Design techniques for low-power multi-GS/s analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Jiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    Ultra-high-speed (>10GS/s), medium-resolution (5~6bit), low-power (<50mW) analog-to-digital converter can find it application in the areas of digital oscilloscopes and next-generation serial link receivers. There are several challenges to enable a successful design, however. First, the time-interleaved architecture is required in order to achieve over 10GS/s sampling rate, with the trade-off...

  • Design of 28 GHz Low-Power Phased-Array Receiver Frontend in CMOS

    Creator:
    Garg, Robin
    Abstract:
    This work presents the design and implementation of a low power phased-array receiver frontend at 28 GHz in 65 nm CMOS. The frontend incorporates a low- power low-noise amplifier(LNA) and a passive reflection-type phase shifter (RTPS) capable of providing 360° phase shift with 5-bit phase resolution and low loss variation....

  • IC-Antenna Co-Integration for Efficient and Scalable Millimeter-Wave Antenna Interfaces

    Creator:
    Liu,Yao
    Abstract:
    Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technology promises high speed, high system capacity and low latency interconnects with reduced cost. Applications like high data-rate wireless links, next generation automotive sensors and security body scanners highly depend on mm-wave technology innovations. As operating frequency moves to higher mm-wave bands, shrinking antenna dimensions enable co-integration of...

  • Radiation effects in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Vuppala, Soujanya
    Abstract:
    Electron and neutron irradiation effects in InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors are investigated in this thesis. Devices with different emitter sizes and grown by two different growth techniques were examined. Based on the physics of heterojunction bipolar transistors and concepts of radiation damage mechanisms, the irradiation effects were analyzed. The...
