  • 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...

  • Libraries : an organizational tool for the X2 environment

    Creator:
    Wodtli, Richard B.
    Abstract:
    X2 [4] is a Smalltalk-like programming environment [1]. As it has grown in size and complexity the existing organizational tools have become inadequate for user and system needs. This project addresses this deficiency and some of its important consequences. The entities to be organized are those that are a fixed...

  • An implementation of a reliable broadcast scheme for 802.11 using network coding

    Creator:
    Edgecombe, Richard
    Abstract:
    Forward Error Correction and retransmission are two approaches used to reliably broadcast data in a network with poor quality of service. Taking some assumptions, it has been suggested that a retransmission based reliable broadcasting scheme using network coding should in theory provide an increase in bandwidth efficiency by combining packets...

  • Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

  • Adding context and value to online security ratings by combining heuristics with community based ratings

    Creator:
    Ayyavu, Prashanth
    Abstract:
    The Internet is growing rapidly in terms of websites, users and uses. People use the Internet for reference, shopping, social networking, communications, business and much more. Though the Internet is useful, there are many risks associated with its use, like malicious websites, identity theft, hateful content and fraudulent practices. Online...

  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Teaching Inclusive Design

    Creator:
    Oleson, Alannah L.
    Abstract:
    Inclusive design is important in today's software industry, but there is little research about how to teach it. In collaboration with 9 teacher-researchers across 8 U.S. universities and more than 400 computer and information science students, we embarked upon an Action Research investigation to gather insights into the pedagogical content...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Machine Learning Methods for Computational Sustainability

    Creator:
    Liu, Liping
    Abstract:
    Maintaining the sustainability of the earth’s ecosystems has attracted much attention as these ecosystems are facing more and more pressure from human activities. Machine learning can play an important role in promoting sustainability as a large amount of data is being collected from ecosystems. There are at least three important...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...
