  • The role of costimulation and adjuvants in the development of T cell effector and memory responses

    Creator:
    Maxwell, Joseph R.
    Abstract:

  • Improving the Quality of Software Using Mutation Testing and Fault Prediction

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Iftekhar
    Abstract:
    Our confidence in software systems depends on our confidence in the exhaustiveness of our testing. As software systems get more complex, the task of exhaustive testing becomes more complex and even infeasible in some cases. In order to build less error prone systems, we therefore need to not only focus...

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...
