  • A Language for Querying Source Code Repositories

    Creator:
    Kumar, Deepthi S.
    Abstract:
    The history of a software project plays a vital role in the software development process. Version control systems enable users of a software repository to look at the evolution of the source code, and see the changes that led to newer versions. Currently, version control systems provide commands that can...

  • Applying 2D Tensor Field Topology to Symmetric Stress Tensors

    Creator:
    Gao, Xiaofei
    Abstract:
    Tensor mathematics provides a powerful language to visualize and analyze physical phenomena. In the last three decades, tensors have been used in various application areas. The visualization and analysis of tensors fields have seen much advance, both in 2D and 3D. However, the physical interpretations of the topological analysis are...

  • Spreadsheet Explanation Through Table Abstraction

    Creator:
    Dan, Mihai
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are a pervasive technology throughout personal and industrial use. Often times, the user is not the author, contributing to a lack of understanding of the purpose and functionality of a spreadsheet. Furthermore, the lack of understanding is a major reason for mistakes in the use and maintenance of spreadsheets....

  • Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization applied to Clue

    Creator:
    Martin, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    This document analyzes the application of Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization (MCCFR) in the game of Hasboro’s Clue. As a partially observable stochastic multiplayer game, Clue is well-suited for MCCFR methods. MCCFR has previously been shown to be effective in beating top human players around the world in No-Limit Texas...

  • Playing by the Rules: A Formal Specification of BoGL’s Loops and Type System

    Creator:
    Grejuc, Alex
    Abstract:
    BoGL is a programming language created for the purpose of computer science education that is specific to the domain of board games. Although there is a language grammar and an existing implementation that is currently used by students, a complete and formal language standard does not yet exist. In the...

  • Using Change Representations to Analyze Properties of Variational Software

    Creator:
    Wang, Xiangyu
    Abstract:
    Appropriate representations of variational software simplify the analysis of their properties.This thesis proposes tailored representations of two kinds variational softwares: difference files of merge commits in Git and feature models. For the former, we use the Choice Edit Model, which is based on the choice calculus, to represent changes introduced...

  • Version Control Systems: An Information Foraging Perspective

    Creator:
    Srinivasa Ragavan, Sruti
    Abstract:
    Software history and version control systems (VCS) are an important source of information for developers. This entails the need for a principled understanding of developers’ information seeking in VCS, both for improving existing tools as well as understanding requirements for new tools. However, it is only recently that researchers have...

  • Custom Keyboards for Inputting Programs on Touchscreen Devices

    Creator:
    Almusaly, Islam M.
    Abstract:
    Soft keyboards come in different shapes, sizes, and layouts. Each layout is designed to help the users in different inputting tasks. Most of these layouts, however, focus on general text entry as opposed to computer programs. This dissertation addresses the problems with current input mechanisms on touchscreen devices. The dissertation...

  • Improving the Effectiveness of Answering Keyword Queries Using Effective Subsets

    Creator:
    Khodadadi, Abtin
    Abstract:
    Most database users do not know formal query languages, such as SQL, and prefer to express their information needs using usable query languages, such as keyword queries. Keyword queries, however, are inherently ambiguous and challenging for the database systems to understand and answer effectively. We propose a novel approach to...
