  • On edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in torus and Gaussian networks

    Creator:
    Alazemi, Fawaz M.
    Abstract:
    Many algorithms in parallel systems can be easily solved if we can generate a Hamiltonian cycle on the underly network. Finding Hamiltonian cycle is a well known NP-complete problem. For specific instances of regular graphs, such as Torus and Gaussian network, one can easily find Hamiltonian cycles. In this thesis,...

  • Communication efficient private set and database operations

    Creator:
    Garimella, Gayathri Annapurna
    Abstract:
    Secure Computation is a powerful tool that enables a set of parties to jointly compute any function over their private inputs, without a trusted third party. Private Set Intersection is a specific case of two-party Secure Computation, where Alice (with private set X) and Bob (with private set Y) specifically...

  • Comprehensive support for developing graphical highly interactive user interface systems

    Creator:
    Keh, Huan-chao
    Abstract:
    The general problem of application development of interactive GUI applications has been addressed by toolkits, libraries, user interface management systems, and more recently domain-specific application frameworks. However, the most sophisticated solution offered by frameworks still lacks a number of features which are addressed by this research: 1) limited functionality --...

  • Elucidating Computational Narratives to Facilitate Code Comprehension

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Souti
    Abstract:
    Programming is integrated across the workflow of multiple domains where end-user programmers, those who need to program as a means to an end, regularly need to code. In the modern setting of collaborative development, end-user programmers have to interpret the intentions behind existing code to contribute and build solutions to...

  • Computational Approaches for RNA Structure Prediction with Dynamic Programming and Deep Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Deng, Dezhong
    Abstract:
    Our goal is to build a system to model the RNA sequences that reveals their structural information by using efficient dynamic programming algorithms and deep learning approaches. We aim to 1) achieve linear-time for RNA secondary structure prediction based on existing minimum free energy models; 2) utilize deep neural networks...

  • Image feature detection and matching for biological object recognition

    Creator:
    Deng, Hongli
    Abstract:
    Image feature detection and matching are two critical processes for many computer vision tasks. Currently, intensity-based local interest region detectors and local feature-based matching methods are used widely in computer vision applications. But in some applications, such as biological object recognition tasks, within-class changes in pose, lighting, color, and texture...

  • An alternative architecture for performing basic computer arithmetical operations

    Creator:
    Djang, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The arithmetic portions of almost all modern processor architectures are of very similar design. We use the term "traditional" to describe this design, the primary characteristics of which are native support for integer and floating-point number types and special disjoint instructions and hardware for each supported type. Decades of refinement...

  • The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

    Creator:
    Hill, Charles
    Abstract:
    Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

  • Gender differences in robot teleoperation

    Creator:
    Showkat, Dilruba
    Abstract:
    Gender issues have recently received increased attention in human robot interaction (HRI). Because robots are becoming part of our homes and daily lives, it is important to understand how different groups of people use them. To the best of our knowledge, almost no research has been done that investigates gender...

  • Newcomers’ Barriers. . . Is That All? An Analysis of Mentors’ and Newcomers’ Barriers in OSS Projects

    Creator:
    Balali, Sogol
    Abstract:
    Newcomers’ seamless onboarding is important for open collaboration communi- ties, particularly those that leverage outsiders’ contributions to remain sustainable. Nevertheless, previous work shows that OSS newcomers often face several barriers to contribute, which lead them to lose motivation and even give up on contributing. A well-known way to help newcomers...
