  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • An automated web crawl methodology to analyze the online privacy landscape

    Creator:
    Sarkar, Chandan
    Abstract:
    Protecting end-users privacy and building trust are the two most important factors needed to support the growth of ecommerce. The increased dependence on the Internet for a wide variety of daily transactions causes a corresponding loss in privacy for many users, as virtually all websites collect data from users directly...

  • Type-correct changes — a safe approach to version control implementation

    Creator:
    Dagit, Jason
    Abstract:
    Ensuring correctness of real-world software applications is a challenging task. Testing can be used to find many bugs, but is typically not sufficient for proving correctness or even eliminating entire classes of bugs. However, formal proof and verification techniques tend to be very heavy weight and are simply not available...

  • Pair testing : comparing Windows Exploratory Testing in pairs with testing alone

    Creator:
    Lischner, Ray
    Abstract:
    Windows Exploratory Testing (WET) is examined to determine whether testers working in pairs produce higher quality results, are more productive, or exhibit greater confidence and job satisfaction than testers working alone. WET is a form of application testing where a tester (or testers) explores an unknown application to determine the...

  • Region based image matching for 3D object recognition

    Creator:
    Liu, Tian
    Abstract:
    3D object recognition is a very difficult and important problem in computer vision, arising in a wide range of applications. Typically in 3D object recognition, interest points are extracted from images and then matched. A shortcoming of this approach is that points only carry local visual information. Therefore, there could...

  • Optimizing the advanced encryption standard on Intel's SIMD architecture

    Creator:
    Godbole, Pankaj
    Abstract:
    The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the new standard for cryptography and has gained wide support as a means to secure digital data. Hence, it is beneficial to develop an implementation of AES that has a high throughput. SIMD technology is very effective in increasing the performance of some cryptographic...

  • Motivating programmers through karma systems

    Creator:
    Cedeno, Jose
    Abstract:
    Keeping FOSS developers motivated is a challenging problem, and their motivation levels can affect the team's productivity and satisfaction, leading to higher or lower productivity. Using reputation systems as a motivator has become the de-facto standard for many online communities, rewarding user's activity through badges of honor or achievement levels....

  • Creating and editing motion machines for 3D characters

    Creator:
    Korada, Suman
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts in user-control of data-driven characters have focused on designing high-level graph data-structures that we call a Behavior Finite State Machine (BFSM). A BFSM is an interactive data-structure that benefits from the advantages of both motion graphs and blend-based techniques for generating animated motion. Each node in a BFSM...

  • Supporting the learning process of open source novices : an evaluation of code and project history visualization tools

    Creator:
    Park, Yunrim
    Abstract:
    Active participation and collaboration of community members are crucial to the continuation and expansion of open source software projects. Researchers have recognized the value of community in open source development and studied various aspects of it including structure of communities, motivations for participation, and collaboration among members. However, the majority...

  • Multimedia streaming using multiple TCP connections

    Creator:
    Tullimalli, Sunand
    Abstract:
    Packet loss, delay and time-varying bandwidth are three main problems facing multimedia streaming applications over the Internet. Existing techniques such as Media-aware network protocol, network adaptive source and channel coding, etc. have been proposed to either overcome or alleviate these drawbacks of the Internet. But these techniques either need specialized...
