  • FAR : an end-user language to support cottage e-services

    Creator:
    Chekka, Sudheer Kumar
    Abstract:
    E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple web pages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-business transactions, such as through electronic advertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, to participate in these advances requires the skills of professional programmers, and end-user owners of small businesses often cannot justify this expense. In this...

  • Helping end-user programmers help themselves : the idea garden approach

    Creator:
    Cao, Chen
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers face many barriers in programming. Research has seen many programming environments that attempted to lower or remove the barriers but despite these efforts, empirical studies continue to report barriers users face. To investigate this issue, we took a theory-informed approach. Using theories from design, creativity, and problem solving...

  • Automated web-based analysis and visualization of spatiotemporal data

    Creator:
    Keon, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    Most data are associated with a place, and many are also associated with a moment in time, a time interval, or another linked temporal component. Spatiotemporal data (i.e., data with elements of both space and time) can be used to assess movement or change over time in a particular location,...

  • Out of the Mouths of Users : Examining User-Developer Feedback Loops Facilitated by App Stores

    Creator:
    Bailey, Kendall
    Abstract:
    Application Stores, such as the iTunes App Store, give developers access to their users’ complaints and requests in the form of application reviews. However, little is known about how developers are responding to application reviews. Without such knowledge developers, users, Application Stores, and researchers could make incorrect assumptions. To address...

  • End-user software engineering in the spreadsheet paradigm

    Creator:
    Abraham, Robin
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are among the most widely used end-user programming systems. Unfortunately, there is a high incidence of errors in end-user spreadsheets, and some of these errors have high impact. In this dissertation, we describe techniques we have developed to help end users develop safer spreadsheets. As part of our research,...

  • The Impact of Internet and Videogame Use on College Student Development

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Benjamin W.
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, there has been a tremendous change in the college student experience. In many ways this change has been driven by developments in technology, which have in turn changed the way students conduct research, socialize, and recreate. This thesis seeks to gain an understanding as to how Internet...

  • Multi-User Massive MIMO Channel Estimation Based on Kalman Filters

    Creator:
    Yao, Zhaoda
    Abstract:
    In wireless communication, channel state information (CSI) is essential for data detection. Fast fading coefficients estimation is important in order to acquire accurate CSI. Kalman filters (KF) are widely used for real time parameter estimation and can be used to estimate the fast fading coefficients of a mobile communication channel....

    Creator:
    de Brum, Silvina
    Abstract:
    Although electronic medical records systems (EMR) present promising benefits, they have not yet been widely adopted. A problem facing many EMR are that they are disruptive technologies; their complex hardware and software are not designed to account for the clinicians' characteristics and needs, thus, demanding a steep learning curve and...

  • 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...
