The Design And Implementation Of Aida: Ancient Inscription Database And Analytics System, M Parvez Rashid

Department of Computer Science and Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

AIDA, the Ancient Inscription Database and Analytic system can be used to translate and analyze ancient Minoan language.
