  • A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenpeng
    Abstract:
    Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

  • Walking tree methods for biological string matching

    Creator:
    Hsu, Tai C.
    Abstract:
    Approximate string matching is commonly used to align genetic sequences (DNA or RNA) to determine their shared characteristics. In contrast with the standard dynamic programming methods which use local edit distance models, the Walking Tree heuristic method was created to handle non-local changes, e.g., translocations, inversions, and duplications, altogether and...

  • Characterizing Server Compromise: Resilience Models, Instantiations, and Impossibilities

    Creator:
    McQuoid, Ian M.
    Abstract:
    One of the pervasive problems arising in our modern, digital world surrounds data breaches where an adversary, through zero-day exploitations, phishing, or old-fashioned social engineering attacks, gains access to a service’s data stores. Our society increasingly relies on these cloud-based services for everything from our taxes to personal communication. As...

  • Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

    Creator:
    Strauss, Paul J.
    Abstract:
    An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...

  • Ensemble Monte-Carlo planning : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Lewis, Paul
    Abstract:
    Monte-Carlo planning algorithms such as UCT make decisions at each step by intelligently expanding a single search tree given the available time and then selecting the best root action. Recent work has provided evidence that it can be advantageous to instead construct an ensemble of search trees and make a...

  • An overview of cogeneration

    Creator:
    Holmes, Michael
    Abstract:
    This paper presents an overview of cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). The technology of cogeneration is described and the three primary cogeneration processes are discussed. The transition between parallel operation with the utility and stand-alone operation is discussed. The trade­off between a synchronous and an induction...

  • Fine-Grained Object Recognition Under Limited Training Data

    Creator:
    Lam, Michael Q.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses object recognition in challenging settings, where distinct object classes are visually very similar (e.g., species of birds and insects) and/or access to training examples of object classes is limited (e.g., due to the associated high costs of data annotation). In this dissertation, we present a variety of...

  • Understanding Software Development and Testing Practices

    Creator:
    Hilton, Michael
    Abstract:
    A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes. The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...
