  • Signed Digit Representation of Numbers

    Creator:
    Venkatachalapathy, Savithri
    Abstract:
    "A non-redundant number system has the digit set limited ranging from 0 to radix -1. While the Signed digit numbers have digit set consisting of more than radix r values. Hence it is also called redundant number system. Furthermore, the advantage of redundant number system lies in its application for...

  • Contributions to a Java recommender system

    Creator:
    Wang, Yun
    Abstract:
    Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference. The...

  • On the limits of mutation analysis

    Creator:
    Gopinath, Rahul
    Abstract:
    Mutation analysis is the gold standard for evaluating test-suite adequacy. It involves exhaustive seeding of all small faults in a program and evaluating the effectiveness of test suites in detecting these faults. Mutation analysis subsumes numerous structural coverage criteria, approximates fault detection capability of test suites, and the faults produced...

  • 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...

  • Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

    Creator:
    Elmougy, Samir
    Abstract:
    In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

  • 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...

  • Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....

  • Software channels : a distributed object-communication mechanism

    Creator:
    Worasucheep, Chukiat
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we describe a software mechanism, a software channel, that allows a group of distributed objects to communicate with each other automatically once they are connected to it. Software channels and predesigned distributed objects that are connected to them encapsulate the communication protocol and the network topology to...
