  • Leveraging Generated Tests

    Creator:
    Alipour, Mohammad Amin
    Abstract:
    The main goal of automated test generation is to improve the reliability of a program by exposing faults to developers. To this end, testing should cover the largest possible portion of the program given a test budget (i.e., time and resources) as frequently as possible. Coverage of a program entity...

  • Involving older adults in the design and development of free/open source software

    Creator:
    Davidson, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    An age-wave is upon us where many older adults are reaching retirement. Technically experienced older adults have skills that could be directly applied to free/open source software (FOSS) communities, such as project management, programming, and/or knowledge of a rapidly growing end-user population. FOSS is a widely popular, low-cost way to...

  • Applications of an Agent-Based Approach to Automated Structure Design

    Creator:
    Kiff, Robin E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis details the applications of a new method of agent-based structure synthesis. The goal of this research is to create structures that meet a structural goal within a simulated physics environment. The method proposed works as an iterative process of changing the structure, evaluating the new structure and using...

  • Visualization in environmental science

    Creator:
    Winters, Kirsten M.
    Abstract:
    The VISualization of Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems (VISTAS) software development project began with the proposition that visualization would increase the ability of scientists to explore and communicate their data, especially complex datasets that span multiple spatial and temporal scales. A case study of VISTAS articulates how and why scientists intend...

  • An Information Foraging Theory Perspective on Tools for Debugging, Refactoring, and Reuse Tasks

    Creator:
    Fleming, Scott D., Scaffidi, Chris, Piorkowski, David, Burnett, Margaret, Bellamy, Rachel, Lawrance, Joseph, and Kwan, Irwin
    Abstract:
    Theories of human behavior are an important but largely untapped resource for software engineering research. They facilitate understanding of human developers’ needs and activities, and thus can serve as a valuable resource to researchers designing software engineering tools. Furthermore, theories abstract beyond specific methods and tools to fundamental principles that...

  • How Programmers Debug, Revisited: An Information Foraging Theory Perspective

    Creator:
    Lawrance, Joseph, Bogart, Christopher, Burnett, Margaret, Bellamy, Rachel, Rector, Kyle, and Fleming, Scott D.
    Abstract:
    Many theories of human debugging rely on complex mental constructs that offer little practical advice to builders of software engineering tools. Although hypotheses are important in debugging, a theory of navigation adds more practical value to our understanding of how programmers debug. Therefore, in this paper, we reconsider how people...

  • Interconnection Networks Based on Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi Integers

    Creator:
    Shamaei, Arash
    Abstract:
    Quotient rings of Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi(EJ) integers can be deployed to construct interconnection networks with good topological properties. In this thesis, we propose deadlock-free deterministic and partially adaptive routing algo­rithms for hexagonal networks, one special class of EJ networks. Then we discuss higher dimensional Gaussian networks as an alternative to...

    Creator:
    Wells, Lucas A.
    Abstract:
    In pursuit of global sustainability, forestry has witnessed significant shifts in practices and the development of new technologies and ideas. Primary and secondary processing industries have made substantial efforts to increase wood utilization rates, improve occupational safety and the working environment for humans, and have exhibited interest in procuring raw...

  • Computational methods for protein-protein interface prediction

    Creator:
    Tribelhorn, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Protein-protein interactions underlie all biological processes and are a field of study that has wide implications throughout many other fields including medicine, genetics, biology, and ecology. Proteins are the building blocks and primary actors of life. They work together to accomplish virtually every task within a cell, including, metabolism, signal...

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...
