  • Accuracy versus cost in distributed data mining

    Creator:
    Deutschman, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    A basic tradeoff to consider when designing a distributed data-mining framework is the need for a compromise between the cost of communication and computation resources and the accuracy of the mining results. This is essentially a decision of whether it is more efficient to communicate all of the data to...

  • Efficient content distribution on source constraint networks: peer communication

    Creator:
    Kamath, Rohit Vinodanand
    Abstract:
    Popular applications such as P2P file sharing, multiplayer gaming, videoconferencing, etc. rely on the efficiency of content distribution from a single source to multiple receivers. Most users of these applications are on the widely prevalent source constraint networks such as the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and wireless networks. Overlay multicast...

  • Information space mapping with adaptive multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams

    Creator:
    Trubin, Stanislav I.
    Abstract:
    Traditional application of Voronoi diagrams for space partitioning creates Voronoi regions, with areas determined by the generators’ relative locations and weights. Especially in the area of information space (re)construction, however, there is a need for inverse solutions; i.e., finding weights that result in regions with predefined areas. In this thesis,...

  • Designing and understanding information retrieval systems using collaborative filtering in an academic library environment

    Creator:
    Jung, Seikyung
    Abstract:
    Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...

  • Supporting the learning process of open source novices : an evaluation of code and project history visualization tools

    Creator:
    Park, Yunrim
    Abstract:
    Active participation and collaboration of community members are crucial to the continuation and expansion of open source software projects. Researchers have recognized the value of community in open source development and studied various aspects of it including structure of communities, motivations for participation, and collaboration among members. However, the majority...

  • End-user software engineering in the spreadsheet paradigm

    Creator:
    Abraham, Robin
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are among the most widely used end-user programming systems. Unfortunately, there is a high incidence of errors in end-user spreadsheets, and some of these errors have high impact. In this dissertation, we describe techniques we have developed to help end users develop safer spreadsheets. As part of our research,...
