  • On the limits of mutation analysis

    Creator:
    Gopinath, Rahul
    Abstract:
    Mutation analysis is the gold standard for evaluating test-suite adequacy. It involves exhaustive seeding of all small faults in a program and evaluating the effectiveness of test suites in detecting these faults. Mutation analysis subsumes numerous structural coverage criteria, approximates fault detection capability of test suites, and the faults produced...

  • Statistics and metrics generator for web-based software installation

    Creator:
    Guruprasad, Arvind
    Abstract:
    Statistics and Metrics Generator (SMG), is a software tool that gathers, stores and reports performance and execution metrics for a web-based software installation process. The purpose of this project was to develop a software utility that provides feedback about software download and installation process efficiency. A web-based software installation is...

  • Signed Digit Representation of Numbers

    Creator:
    Venkatachalapathy, Savithri
    Abstract:
    "A non-redundant number system has the digit set limited ranging from 0 to radix -1. While the Signed digit numbers have digit set consisting of more than radix r values. Hence it is also called redundant number system. Furthermore, the advantage of redundant number system lies in its application for...

  • Contributions to a Java recommender system

    Creator:
    Wang, Yun
    Abstract:
    Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference. The...

  • Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

    Creator:
    Elmougy, Samir
    Abstract:
    In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

  • Large deviation principles for random measures

    Creator:
    Hwang, Dae-sik
    Abstract:
    Large deviation theory has experienced much development and interest in the last two decades. A large deviation principle is the exponential decay of the probability of increasingly rare events and the computation of a rate or entropy function which measures the rate of decay. Within the probability literature there has...

  • Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....
