  • Design and analysis of hard real-time systems

    Creator:
    Zhu, Jiang
    Abstract:
    First, we study hard real-time scheduling problems where each task is defined by a four tuple (r, c, p, d): r being its release time, c computation time, p period, and d deadline. The question is whether all tasks can meet their deadlines on one processor. If not, how many...

  • New methods for sedimentation and diffusion analysis of macromolecular structure

    Creator:
    Demeler, Borries
    Abstract:
    Methods are presented to acquire data from analytical ultracentrifugation experiments by computer using the absorption optical scanning system of the Beckman Model-E ultracentrifuge. A computer program was written which analyzes sedimentation velocity experiments by the van Holde - Weischet method and by the second moment method. The van Holde -...

  • Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

    Creator:
    Holloway, James Lee
    Abstract:
    As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...

  • Data-structure builder for VLSI/CAD software

    Creator:
    Eum, Doo-hun
    Abstract:
    Relational database systems have successfully solved many business data processing problems. The primary reason of this success is that the relational data model provides a simple, yet flexible view of data as tables. In studying VLSI/CAD data, we noticed that they are often represented in formats similar to relational tuples....

  • High-speed algorithms & architectures for number-theoretic cryptosystems

    Creator:
    Acar, Tolga
    Abstract:
    Computer and network security systems rely on the privacy and authenticity of information, which requires implementation of cryptographic functions. Software implementations of these functions are often desired because of their flexibility and cost effectiveness. In this study, we concentrate on developing high-speed and area-efficient modular multiplication and exponentiation algorithms for...

  • Estimating absence

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Thomas M.
    Abstract:
    The problem addressed is absence of a class of objects in a finite set of objects, which is investigated by considering absence of a species and absence in relation to a threshold. Regarding absence of a species, we demonstrate that the assessed probability of absence of the class of objects...

  • Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

    Creator:
    Sitompul, Darwin
    Abstract:
    A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining these into working schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and interface modules for the user to interact...

  • Mechanistic studies of polyhalogenated benzenes

    Creator:
    Herbelin, Sharon Maley
    Abstract:
    Polyhalogenated benzenes have been analyzed by standard electron capture chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ECCI/MS), and electron monochromator mass spectrometer (EM/MS) systems. The EM/MS experiments distinguished electronegative compounds (especially isomers) by transient negative ions (TNIs) of the same mass but differing energies and/or the formation of distinct TNIs of different masses...

  • Schedule-based material requirements planning : an artificial intelligence approach

    Creator:
    Kim, Sunuk
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to identify the limitations associated with schedule-based Material Requirements Planning (SBMRP) and to present a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) approach to solve these problems. In SBMRP, the basic strategy is to use backward or forward scheduling based on an arbitrary dispatching rule, such...

  • High-performance data-parallel input/output

    Creator:
    Moore, Jason Andrew
    Abstract:
    Existing parallel file systems are proving inadequate in two important arenas: programmability and performance. Both of these inadequacies can largely be traced to the fact that nearly all parallel file systems evolved from Unix and rely on a Unix-oriented, single-stream, block-at-a-time approach to file I/O. This one-size-fits-all approach to parallel...
