  • Corporate involvement in FOSS projects : an in-depth look at corporate contributions and implications for project governance

    Creator:
    Forrest, Darren J.
    Abstract:
    Free / Open Source Software developers come from a myriad of different backgrounds. While some contribute for personal reasons, many become involved because they receive compensation from corporations or foundations. The motivation for participating in a project can have dramatic impacts on how and what contribution an individual makes. These...

  • Reinforcement Learning for P2P Backup Applications

    Creator:
    Mall, Shikhar
    Abstract:
    A five year study of file-system metadata shows that the number of files increases by 200% and only a select few file-types contribute for over 35% of the files that exist on a file-system. It is difficult to point out a permanent selection of files that a user really cares...

  • Incorporating labeled features into image classification using generalized expectation

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis
    Abstract:
    Image classification is a difficult problem, often requiring large training sets to get satisfactory results. However this is a task that humans perform very well, and incorporating user feedback into these learning algorithms could help reduce the dependency on large amounts of labeled training data. This process has already been...

  • Navigation in Mobile Virtual Environments: The future of mobile devices is aLIVE!

    Creator:
    Carr, Justin
    Abstract:
    The dream of ubiquitous virtual reality (VR) tools has been a powerful presence in pop culture since before the turn of the century. But for all of its charm, VR applications are few and far between due to the high cost of hardware setups and cumbersome form factor. This project...

  • Studying electricity feedback for the home with an emphasis on the user

    Creator:
    Hunter, Josie Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    As non-renewable resources dwindle and costs increase, it becomes ever more important for people to understand and control their electricity usage. Eco-feedback devices are being developed to increase user awareness and reduce consumption. In order for feedback devices to be successfully adopted into the home, however, they must be appealing...

  • Reasons Behind the Low Enrollment of Women in Computer Science

    Creator:
    Schneider, Ashley R.
    Abstract:
    Over the past few decades, the ratio of women to men in many traditionally maledominated fields has become much more equal. However, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields the ratio has not improved at the same rate. In computer science the ratio is still very uneven. Today women...

  • An implementation of a parallel processing package in LISP

    Creator:
    Harney, Donald William
    Abstract:
    The concept of a process is often used in connection with operations of parts of a computer system. This thesis discusses processes in terms of their use as representations of a physical object or system. Five primitives are introduced as operators for allowing processes to be run in a piecemeal...

  • Knots : a measure of program complexity

    Creator:
    McAlister, Richard Earl
    Abstract:
    Most measures of program complexity gauge either textual or control flow attributes of a program. A recent addition to the field of complexity measures, the knot metric, is a function of both these attributes. A knot measurement reflects the degree of control-flow tangle in a program's listing. This thesis discusses...

  • A comparison of methods for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs

    Creator:
    DeCurtins, Jeffrey Lee
    Abstract:
    This paper compares three classes of algorithms for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs. Two of the classes are exhaustive search procedures and this study finds them to have an exponential dependence on the size of the graph. The third class of algorithms, based on Warnsdorff's rule, is found to be...

  • The FLEX/REFLEX paradigm and its application to computer program systems

    Creator:
    Colby, Jonathan Axford
    Abstract:
    The FLEX/REFLEX paradigm is applied to the description of a computer program system. The paradigm is shown to be relevant and appropriate to computer program systems and to advantageously display and structure the general hierarchical characteristics of computer program systems. Program systems characterized in the paradigm are described both holistically...
