-
(University of Oregon, 2012)The Internet has become an indispensable resource for today's society. It is at the center of the today's business, entertainment, and social world. However, the core of our identities on the Internet, the IP addresses ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)Efficient large-scale scientific computing requires efficient code, yet optimizing code to render it efficient simultaneously renders the code less readable, less maintainable, less portable, and requires detailed knowledge ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)My interest is in applying a domain model to help elicit personal requirements for the problem of community travel for people with cognitive impairments. The domain model I took advantage of is the ACT model, which is ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)The Internet has become a core component of our lives and businesses. Its reliability and availability are of paramount importance. There are many types of malware that impact the availability of the Internet, including ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2012)Dynamic invariant detection is a software analysis technique that uses traces of function entry and exit from executing programs and infers partial specifications that characterize the observed behavior. The specifications ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-12)Graphics provide a rich display medium that facilitates identification of spatial patterns but are inaccessible to people who are blind or low vision. Audio provides an alternative medium through which to display information. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2011-12)The design of successful assistive technologies requires careful personalization for individual users, as well as rapid, low cost cycles for product development and testing. My research brings two modern software engineering ...
-
(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, 2011-06)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, 2011-03)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, 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, 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, 2010-03)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, 2010-03)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, 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, 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, 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, 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 ...
