  • A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis framework for the engineering management domain

    Creator:
    Saeedi, Amirali
    Abstract:
    Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is a time consuming and, potentially unreliable research activity. In qualitative research, a number of tasks must be repeated for every new research case, even if each case is closely related or is in the same area of study. Existing QDA applications provide users with a...

  • Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

    Creator:
    Nelson, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

  • An object oriented representation for mechanical design based on constraints

    Creator:
    McGinnis, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    A representation for the process of mechanical design, along with its computer implementation is presented and discussed. The representation consists of three fundamental concepts: design objects, constraints, and decisions. The design objects are the structures with which the physical artifacts of the design are described. A design object consists of...

  • The design capture system : capturing back-of-the-envelope sketches

    Creator:
    Hwang, Teng-shang
    Abstract:
    A system which allows the computer to capture sketches made by a mechanical designer is described. The system not only recognizes basic features as they are sketched, but it also reasons the spatial relationships between features and builds a high level abstract representation (feature model) of the artifact. The temporal...

  • Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

    Creator:
    Esch, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...

  • Multiple-output combinational network minimization

    Creator:
    Lin, Pʻei-chen
    Abstract:
    An important step in the design of digital networks lies in the derivation of the switching formulas which describe the combinational logic networks in the system. In most large systems the number of gates and the number of connections are major factors that affect the cost of the system. An...

  • PRONTO : a product term reduction approach

    Creator:
    Martinez-Carballido, Jorge Francisco
    Abstract:
    Regular structures such as PLA's are very important to reduce VLSI design time. Interest in CAD tools such as a practical reducing PLA generator is high. This dissertation presents PRONTO as a practical, near-optimal product term reduction method, whose general heuristic approach consists of the following four steps. First, select...

  • Understanding Software Development and Testing Practices

    Creator:
    Hilton, Michael
    Abstract:
    A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes. The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...

  • Advances in low-level software protection

    Creator:
    Van Dyke, Colin William
    Abstract:
    Preventative methods for software reverse engineering have been given greater attention in recent times due to the increase in computational resources and tools available to the public. The inherent security provided by encoding source into machine code (executable form) can no longer be assumed, given the availability of effective automated...
