(University of Oregon, 1989-09-06)Bases, subgroup towers and strong generating sets (SGSs) have played a key role in the development of algorithms for permutation groups. We analyze the computational complexity of several problems involving bases and ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2000)Haptic environments are user interfaces incorporating a haptic display device, most commonly a point force device such as the PHANToM. Lederman and Klatzky's Exploratory Procedures work casts doubt on the usability of such ...
-
(2006-06)There is an increasing need in the scientific community for the comprehensive simulation of complex, dynamic, physical systems. Often such simulations are built through model coupling, that is, the merging of existing, ...
-
(2006-08)This thesis makes two major contributions: it introduces a novel method for analysis of artificial neural networks and provides new models of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system. The analysis method extracts ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-03)Digital three-dimensional (3D) models are useful for biomechanical analysis because they can be interactively visualized and manipulated. Synthesizing and analyzing animal locomotion with these models, however, is difficult ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-06)Phishing is a type of Internet fraud that uses deceptive websites to trick users into revealing sensitive information. Despite the availability of numerous tools designed to detect phishing, it remains a steadily growing ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-12)The dynamic scripting reinforcement learning algorithm can be extended to improve the speed, effectiveness, and accessibility of learning in modern computer games without sacrificing computational efficiency. This dissertation ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-12)Visual search is an important part of human-computer interaction (HCI). The visual search processes that people use have a substantial effect on the time expended and likelihood of finding the information they seek. This ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-12)Many algorithms are known to work well in practice on a variety of different problem instances. Reusing existing algorithms for problems besides the one that they were designed to solve is often quite valuable. This is ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-03)Parallel applications running on high-end computer systems manifest a complex combination of performance phenomena, such as communication patterns, work distributions, and computational inefficiencies. Current performance ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-06)Establishing homologous (evolutionary) relationships among a set of genes allows us to hypothesize about their histories: how are they related, how have they changed over time, and are those changes the source of novel ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-09)As the Internet has evolved over time, the interconnection patterns of the members of this "network of networks" have changed. Can we characterize those changes? Have those changes been good or bad? What does "good" mean ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)This thesis provides a design and development of a software architecture and programming framework that enables domain-oriented scientific investigations to be more easily developed and productively applied. The key research ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-03)On the one hand, ontologies provide a means of formally specifying complex descriptions and relationships about information in a way that is expressive yet amenable to automated processing and reasoning. When data are ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-06)Image processing is a powerful tool for increasing the reliability and reproducibility of disease diagnostics. In the hands of pathologists, image processing provides quantitative data from histological images which ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-12)Streaming multimedia content over the Internet is extremely popular mainly due to emerging applications such as IPTV, YouTube and e-learning. All these applications require simultaneous streaming of multimedia content from ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-03)Information extraction (IE) aims to recognize and retrieve certain types of information from natural language text. For instance, an information extraction system may extract key geopolitical indicators about countries ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-06)Conducting field studies for human centric research often demands a significant amount of time and effort. Virtual Environments (VE) can be a potential alternative to reduce such requirements and help scale the field ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-06)Though the first computer programmers were female, women currently make up only a quarter of the computing industry. This lack of diversity jeopardizes technical innovation, creativity and profitability. As demand for ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-12)The evolutionary history of protein families can be difficult to study because necessary ancestral molecules are often unavailable for direct observation. As an alternative, the field of computational phylogenetics has ...
