  • An attributed-based database structure for small computers

    Creator:
    Elton, Terry J.
    Abstract:
    Contemporary database systems are used in a variety of business applications requiring rapid retrieval of on­line data. When records contain unique information indexed by a single key, the retrieval operation can be simplified. However, when added generality and flexibil­ity is needed, inverted files and sophisticated data models result in a...

  • SIDUR--a formalism for structuring knowledge bases

    Creator:
    Kogan, Dan D.
    Abstract:
    A new class of information intensive applications is emerging [Fuch82; Ohsu82] for which neither Artificial Intelligence (AI) nor Database technologies alone are well suited. Database systems do not provide the general inferential capabilities required for problem solving, while AI techniques have not been adapted to handle massive amounts of structured...

  • A parallel implementation of a fluid flow simulation using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Vertanen, Keith D.
    Abstract:
    The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

  • Layered rendering model for human teeth

    Creator:
    Shetty, Sudarshanram
    Abstract:
    This study introduces a layered model for rendering human teeth. Human teeth exhibit complex light interaction due to their layered structure. While the lighting responses of teeth have been studied in the dental industry for the production of realistic looking dentures, to our knowledge this is the first study of...

  • Characterizing Server Compromise: Resilience Models, Instantiations, and Impossibilities

    Creator:
    McQuoid, Ian M.
    Abstract:
    One of the pervasive problems arising in our modern, digital world surrounds data breaches where an adversary, through zero-day exploitations, phishing, or old-fashioned social engineering attacks, gains access to a service’s data stores. Our society increasingly relies on these cloud-based services for everything from our taxes to personal communication. As...

  • New constructions and applications for homomorphic secret sharing and function secret sharing

    Creator:
    Singh, Jaspal
    Abstract:
    A secret sharing scheme allows a dealer to distribute a secret with a set of parties, such that only a certain subset of parties can collaborate and learn the shared secret. Traditional secret sharing schemes have been used as building blocks in various subdomains of cryptography. Recently, two new extensions...

  • New Approaches to Depth-Based Render Techniques Using Pixel Synchronization

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Bryan
    Abstract:
    As the nonstop advancement of graphics hardware continues, new features are being added to the graphics pipeline on a regular basis. One of these advancements is called Pixel Synchronization, which allows a graphics programmer more power with certain types of data structures that may be accessed by multiple shader units...

  • Voxel based indirect illumination using spherical harmonics

    Creator:
    Rauwendaal, Randall
    Abstract:
    Realistic (ideally photorealistic) real-time rendering has remained an elusive goal in computer graphics. While photorealistic rendering has certainly been achieved at the expense of tremendous computational resources and corresponding rendering times; real-time rendering typically must accept a great number of compromises to achieve adequate performance, such as aliasing artifacts, the...

  • Developing simple load sharing utilities (SLSU) for SWARM

    Creator:
    Zhao, Yan
    Abstract:
    With the strong shift toward network-centric cluster-computing workload management has become increasingly important in both industrial and academic environments. To fully harness the distributed computing resources of the 32 PC's in our department, I developed a workload monitoring system together with a few utilities for users to submit either sequential...

  • Computational methods for protein-protein interface prediction

    Creator:
    Tribelhorn, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Protein-protein interactions underlie all biological processes and are a field of study that has wide implications throughout many other fields including medicine, genetics, biology, and ecology. Proteins are the building blocks and primary actors of life. They work together to accomplish virtually every task within a cell, including, metabolism, signal...
