Abstract:

The Web Information System (WIS) is a new type of Web browser capable of retrieving and displaying the physical attributes (retrieval time, age, size) of a digital document. In addition, the WIS can display the status of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) links using an interface that is easy to use and interpret. The WIS also has the ability to dynamically update HTML links, thereby informing the user regarding the status of the information. The first generation of World Web browsers allowed for the retrieval and rendering of HTML documents for reading and printing. These browsers also provided

The spread of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has transformed the way we deliver services, and has made them in general more efficient and more accessible to users. With these improvements however came new challenges. The extensive use of electronic services in our daily life, and the massive gathering of transactional data have led to serious privacy violations.<br>In this thesis we provide techniques to enhance users' privacy, and to give them greater control over their data.

This thesis presents two phases of research in applying visualization to network security challenges. The first phase included discovering the most useful and powerful features in existing computer security visualizations and incorporating them into the AdviseAid visualization platform, an existing software package. The incorporation of such a complete feature set required novel resolution of software engineering, human factors, and computer graphics issues. We also designed additional novel features, such as plugin interfaces, allowing for rapid prototyping and experimentation with novel v

This thesis research describes the design and implementation of a Semantic Geographic Information System (GIS) and the creation of its spatial database.

A friendly graphical user interface is created together with the other main system's areas: displaying process, data animation, and data retrieval. All these components are tightly integr

The primary purpose of this dissertation was to develop a conceptual model for information systems design based on a qualitative analysis of the fighter pilot's environment. The model was derived from the fighter pilot's conceptions and perceptions of his informational environment. The resultant model and the corresponding environmental specification can serve as the conceptual cornerstones for further development by providing the designers a common conceptual focal point for further information system design. The model used for overall information systems design was the Rolland & Cauvet devel

Abstract:

Transcription factor binding sites are essential components of the machinery that controls gene expression. In the absence of experimental data, computational approaches are used to predict binding sites based on promoter DNA sequence. However transcription factor binding depends not just on sequence but also the packaging of the DNA molecule. Nucleosomes, as the smallest unit of DNA packaging, affect transcription factor binding by obstructing protein-DNA interactions.<br>We use an empirically-derived relationship between binding sites and nucleosome positioning to augment an existing computa

There are many statistical measures of correlation, such as Pearson's correlation coefficient for real random variables, the chi-square statistic for discrete random variables, and mutual information.

The measure calculation algorithm is performed on real-valued data being quantized into bins. This quantization is a corn

With the growing size of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), both API usability and API learning become more challenging.

We approach this problem by identifying API types in an API tutorial, dividing the tutorial into small fragments and classifying them based on linguistic and structural features. The system

Software maintenance and evolution is a particularly complex phenomenon in the case of long-lived, large-scale systems. It is not uncommon for such systems to progress through years of development history, a number of developers, and a multitude of software artifacts including millions of lines of code. Therefore, realizing even the slightest change may not always be straightforward. Clearly, changes are the central force driving software evolution. Therefore, it is not surprising that a significant effort has been (and should be) devoted in the software engineering community to systematically

This is an improvement over previous models, which generally assume that systems process a single piece of secret information present before execution and produce

Abstract:

The subject of computer Go is an active eld under AI and has achieved much attention in research. The current state of the art computer Go im-plementations uses a game tree search approach rather than advanced heuristics. This thesis aims to bridge these two approaches and combineMonte Carlo Tree Search with heuristics to deduce if any general results can be found. The results of the thesis indicate that the performance of a combined MCTS-heuristic approach correlates strongly with performance of the heuristic. Furthermore, MCTS can be used with any heuristic to improve its performance.1

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine qualifications for the position of librarian as advertised in Chronicle of Higher Education, (February 1991 through May 1991 issues). An assessment of library science catalogs of all schools currently accepting students (n a 58), which are approved by the American Library Association (ALA), was conducted. This assessment included issues relating to faculty, courses, entry and graduation requirements, and distance education. These qualifications of skill and training, as advertised in The Chronicle of Higher Education, were compared to the curricula of

Abstract:

Despite the rapid hardware upgrades, a common complaint among smartphone owners is the poor battery life. to many users, being required to charge the smartphone after a single day of moderate usage is unacceptable. Moreover, current smartphones suffer various unpredictable delays during operation, e.g., when launching an app, leading to poor user experience. In this dissertation, we provide solutions that enhance systems on portable devices using information obtained from their users and upper layers on the I/O path. First, we provide an experimental study on how storage I/O path upper layers

Abstract:

Prior to this study, no paradigm common among state governments regarding public policy principles on cost recovery for the dissemination of public information had been described. The study revealed that U.S. federal government policy has served as a model from which a majority of the states have proceeded. This study has compared the states with the federal government and with themselves to determine the policy boundaries. Themes from in the literature were presented and summarized, and measurable elements were isolated. Data from statutory, regulatory, and case law, and from explicit policy

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation is to focus attention on the problems which non-profit organizations face in dealing with employee dissatisfaction and turnover among clerical staff whose principal responsibility is data entry. To address the problem, a presentation on the background, a discussion of the managerial and information systems implications, and an end-user needs assessment culminated in the development of an online help system for an IDM AS/400-based membership management package. The system enables the data entry staff to easily locate the answers to most of their commonly asked q

Abstract:

Software Reuse is widely recognized as the most promising technique presently available in reducing the cost of software production. It is the adaptation or incorporation of previously developed software components, designs or other software-related artifacts (i.e. test plans) into new software or software development regimes. Researchers and vendors are doubling their efforts and devoting their time primarily to the topic of software reuse. Most have focused on mechanisms to construct reusable software but few have focused on the problem of discovering components or designs to meet specific n

Abstract:

Intellectual capital - the intangible assets of skill, experience, productivity, information, knowledge, infrastructure, and relationships - can be used to provide a source of competitive advantage. When human, structural, and relational components are properly formalized, captured, and leveraged, a higher value asset can result, directly affecting a company's prosperity. It is advantageous for knowledge-based companies with assets consisting mainly of skill, ideas, and intellectual ability to adopt organizational learning and knowledge management as strategic initiatives and include the intan
