We develop a system for simulation-based optimization of defensive formations for American football. The first component of the system is an environment for simulating football plays with real physical interactions between players and their surroundings. The simulator is built on the AGEIA PhysX engine, which incorporates rigid body dynamics and...
"The purpose of this project is to load test, and fine tune the loan search functionality of the Broker Blueprint web application, an innovative Business-to-Business (B2B) online service aiding mortgage lenders and brokers in today's highly competitive mortgage market.
Broker Blueprint enables brokers to search for suitable mortgage loans across...
This project aims to study the performance of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol implemented in JAVA for web applications. Secure Sockets Layer protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. In particular, this project focuses on an implementation of...
We designed a concise way to store and manipulate GIS coverage data in a geospatial database. Our
geospatial database is implemented with PostgreSQL and PostGIS. PostgreSQL is an object-relational
database, and PostGIS supports various geospatial operations as an SQL extension. In our Oregon
Relational Spatial Topology (ORST) approach, topological relationships...
The Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) is the department responsible for providing reasonable
accommodation to students with documented disabilities. Each term, SSD serves approximately 500
students and receives hundreds of requests for various services. These services range from alternative
testing, alternative formats, notetaking, classroom relocation, and requests for tables...
Almost every student in the School of EECS undergoes the process of Blanket Credit
Registration wherein the student has to fill out the form for registration, meet the
concerned professor and obtain his approval. The staff of the department has to maintain
the details of the student and the Professor...
3D datasets acquire great importance in the context of medical imaging. In this thesis we survey and enhance solutions to problems inherently associated with 3D datasets-processing time,noise and visualization. Efforts include development of a tool kit to provide a multi-threaded processing platform to cut processing time, produce real time visualization...
Packet loss, delay and time-varying bandwidth are three main problems facing multimedia streaming applications over the Internet. Existing techniques such as Media-aware network protocol, network adaptive source and channel coding, etc. have been proposed to either overcome or alleviate these drawbacks of the Internet. But these techniques either need specialized...
The Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a mainstay of flow visualization. It is, however, computationally intensive, which limits its interactivity. Also, when used to view three-dimensional (3D) vector fields, the resulting images are dense and cluttered, making it difficult to perceive the flow on the interior parts of the field....
Oftentimes in visualization, the goal of using volume datasets is not just to visualize them but also to analyze and compare them. In order to compare the two volumes, we cannot take all the voxels into consideration. The size of a typical volume data set is quite large (maybe a...
