  • #ifdef Confirmed Harmful - Promoting Understandable Software Variation

    Creator:
    Le, Duc
    Abstract:
    Maintaining variation in software is a difficult problem that poses serious challenges for the understanding and editing of software artifacts. Although the C preprocessor (CPP) is often the default tool used to introduce variability to software, because of its simplicity and flexibility, it is infamous for its obtrusive syntax and...

  • 3D Voronoi Subdivision for Simulating Destructible and Granular Materials

    Creator:
    Clothier, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    In many traditional computer graphics applications, rendered scenes typically utilize 3D meshes to represent objects within an environment. As the demand to further improve the realism of graphics applications increases, such as for movies and games, it is becoming more important to represent the inner volumes of object meshes. In...

  • A benchmark suite for parallel processors : part I

    Creator:
    Sun, Tieh-Jun
    Abstract:
    Advanced computer architectures are centered around the parallel computer systems. This project is focused on the experiment on two parallel computer architectures : Sequent Balance 21000 shared memory multiprocessor and Cogent XTM distributed system. A set of benchmark programs are implemented using "C" language and Dynix parallel programming library on...

  • A Benchmarking Study of Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Algorithms

    Creator:
    Emmott, Andrew F.
    Abstract:
    It is common practice in the unsupervised anomaly detection literature to create experimental benchmarks by sampling from existing supervised learning datasets. We seek to improve this practice by identifying four dimensions important to real-world anomaly detection applications --- point difficulty, clusteredness of anomalies, relevance of features, and relative frequency of...

  • A browser-based tool for designing query interfaces to scientific databases

    Creator:
    Newsome, Mark Ronald, 1960-
    Abstract:
    Scientists in the biological sciences need to retrieve information from a variety of data collections, traditionally maintained in SQL databases, in order to conduct research. Because current assistant tools are designed primarily for business and financial users, scientists have been forced to use the notoriously difficult command-line SQL interface, supplied...

  • A Comparative Study on How SVN and Git Affect Software Changes

    Creator:
    Codoban, Mihai
    Abstract:
    Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) have seen an increase in popularity relative to traditional Centralized Version Control Systems (CVCS). Yet we know little on whether VCS tools meet the needs of software developers when managing software change or whether developers are benefitting from the extra power of DVCS. Without such...

  • A Comparison and Analysis of Selected Holidays in Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States

    Creator:
    Matyeva, Alima
    Abstract:
    Through comparison and analysis of selected holidays in countries with significantly different features (Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States), this study aims to gauge the impact of holiday celebrations in influencing cultural values in those countries studied. K. Zygulski’s classification system for holidays was applied to divide the holidays of...

  • A comparison of box-cox and additive exponential models to estimate the depreciation of farm machinery

    Creator:
    Wu, Jing
    Abstract:
    Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...

  • A comparison of simulated annealing and genetic algorithms for the genome mapping problems

    Creator:
    Gunnels, John A.
    Abstract:
    The data used for the construction of genome maps is imperfect, therefore the mapping of a physically linear structure must take place in a very uneven feature space. As the number of genes to be ordered grows, it appears to be impractical to use exhaustive search techniques to find the...

  • A conceptual framework for web-based collaborative design

    Creator:
    Gottfried, Shikha Ghosh
    Abstract:
    Although much effort has been invested to build applications that support group work, collaborative applications have not found easy success. The cost of adopting and maintaining collaborative applications has prevented their widespread use, especially among small distributed groups. Application developers have had difficulties recognizing the extra effort required by groups...
