  • Interactive fault localization techniques to empower the debugging efforts of end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald
    Abstract:
    End users develop more software than any other group of programmers, using software authoring devices such as e-mail filtering editors, by-demonstration macro builders, and spreadsheet environments. Despite this, there has been only a little research on finding ways to help these programmers with the dependability of the software they create....

  • A collaborative filtering algorithm and evaluation metric that accurately model the user experience

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Matthew
    Abstract:
    "Collaborative filtering algorithms’ performances have been evaluated using a variety of metrics. These metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error and Precision, have often ignored recommendations for which they do not have data. Ignoring these recommendations has provided numbers which do not accurately represent the user experience. Qualitatively we have seen...

  • WebGD : Framework for web-based GIS/database applications

    Creator:
    Wangmutitakul, Paphun
    Abstract:
    We have developed a framework for Web-based GIS/database applications which allow users to insert, update, delete, and query data with a map interface displayed by Web browsers. The framework was designed so that a Web-based GIS application that uses ArcIMS as a map server can be easily created, customized, and...

  • Development of a mobile process to extract phosphorus from livestock wastes as a valuable fertilizer

    Creator:
    Hoilman, Gene
    Abstract:
    Environmental and regulatory concerns are causing confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's) to account for phosphorous content when applying wastewater to agricultural fields for disposal. In most cases this requires more land to spread the waste onto so that the phosphorous needs of the crop are not exceeded. A mobile process...

  • Metacontent based techniques for the regression testing of component based software : a case study

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Soumya
    Abstract:
    Component based software technologies are viewed as essential for creating the software systems of the future. However the use of externally provided components has serious drawbacks for a wide range of software engineering activities often because of a lack of information about the components. One such drawback involves validation of...

  • Update programming -- a safe approach to software maintenance

    Creator:
    Ren, Deling
    Abstract:
    Software maintenance accounts for a large portion of the software development cost, particularly the process of updating programs either to adapt for requirement change or to enhance design or efficiency. Currently, program updates are generally performed manually by programmers using text editors. This is an unreliable method because syntax and...

  • Responder tracking application

    Creator:
    Wanalertlak, Naroot
    Abstract:
    We have developed a prototype web-based GIS application for tracking the locations of moving entities. This application, which is called the Responder application, consists of two parts: the Responder client and the Responder server. The Responder client is a .NET application written in C#. It reads the location data from...

  • Model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Wang, Xin
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning with large scale applications such as combinatorial optimization problems. First, the thesis proposes two new model-based methods to stablize the value–function approximation for reinforcement learning. The first one is the BFBP algorithm, a batch-like reinforcement learning process which iterates between...
