  • Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

    Creator:
    Gestson, Sean Lyle
    Abstract:
    Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

  • Creating and editing motion machines for 3D characters

    Creator:
    Korada, Suman
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts in user-control of data-driven characters have focused on designing high-level graph data-structures that we call a Behavior Finite State Machine (BFSM). A BFSM is an interactive data-structure that benefits from the advantages of both motion graphs and blend-based techniques for generating animated motion. Each node in a BFSM...

  • Cost-Age-Time Data Organized Garbage Collection

    Creator:
    Lee, Dongjun
    Abstract:
    NAND flash based solid state drives (SSDs) require out-of-place updating due to the characteristics of flash memories. In addition, due to the mismatched granularity between read/write and erase operations, a cleaning policy involving garbage collection and wear leveling has to perform data migration incurring high overhead. Another challenge is that...

  • Guided Translation of Algorithmic Notation into Functional Programs

    Creator:
    Fedorin, Danila
    Abstract:
    The use of board games for teaching introductory computer science is a promising recent avenue of research. The goal is to introduce computing concepts through their use in the implementations of simple games, thereby keeping students engaged through their learning process. However, there is a gap between students' algorithmic descriptions...

  • Communication-Efficient Secure Two-Party Computation From Minicrypt and OT

    Creator:
    Roy, Lawrence
    Abstract:
    Secure two-party computation (2PC) is the task of performing arbitrary calculations on secret inputs provided by two parties, while maintaining secrecy if at least one party is honest. 2PC has been applied to privacy-preserving record linkage and machine learning, in areas such as medicine where maintaining privacy is crucial. One...
