  • Morality of biometrics

    Creator:
    Tao, Dany
    Abstract:
    "‘Biometrics is at the forefront in our agenda for homeland security,’ declared Asa Hutchinson, the Department of Homeland Security's undersecretary for border and transportation security, at the 2004 Biometric Consortium Conference” [11]. Flashy retinal scanning and voice activated computers were once considered technologies for science fiction movies and novels. Nowadays,...

  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • A Java implementation of the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm using NIST curves over GF(p)

    Creator:
    Stadick, Rhea
    Abstract:
    The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a public key cryptosystem used for creation and verification of digital signatures in electronic documents. In this thesis, we created a Java applet that provides the functionality of the ECDSA using all of the NIST elliptic curves over GF(p). This applet was...

  • Protein secondary structure prediction using conditional random fields and profiles

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    Protein secondary structure prediction plays a pivotal role in predicting protein folding in three-dimensions. Its task is to assign each residue one of the three secondary structure classes helix, strand, or random coil. This is an instance of the problem of sequential supervised learning in machine learning. This thesis describes...

  • 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...

  • Node and topology management for content distribution in source constraint networks

    Creator:
    Kolazhi, Krishnan
    Abstract:
    As broadband Internet becomes widely available, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications over the Internet are becoming increasingly popular. Such an example is a video multicast application in which, one source streams a video to a large number of destination nodes through an overlay multicast tree consisting of peers. These overlay multicast-based applications,...

  • Implementing a comparative anatomy information system for the foundational model of anatomy and the mouse anatomy ontology

    Creator:
    Diatchka, Kremena S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the implementation of an interface for querying established correspondences between anatomical structures across species. I was the main developer of this query engine, called the Comparative Anatomy Information System. My work involved developing methods to query the knowledge base, perform the specified comparison, display the anatomical hierarchies...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....

  • Efficient P2P media dissemination with forward error correction

    Creator:
    Do, Phuoc
    Abstract:
    Media application on the internet has become more and more popular as the bandwidth of the network links increase. The bottleneck of the existing media systems is no longer the link bandwidth at user’s end, but the server’s ability to handle streaming requests. These existing streaming systems do not scale...
