Badge Web Application, Ryan Green

Computer Engineering

This project includes the imagining, design, build, and test of a web application that creates and tracks a user’s progress on completing tasks that an administrator has created for the user. The goal of this project is to have a functioning webpage that is robust and scalable to support many users and many tasks. The application will be developed for use on all modern web browsers, and will have a persistent server to access from any platform. This project was designed to be an exercise in building a modern web application, and as such is written using many different languages, …

Wingtip Dynamics Simulator, Eugene Fox, Nick Rodriguez, Steven Rieber

Mechanical Engineering

Raytheon is a defense contracting company with an electronic warfare division that is developing a radio frequency signal triangulation system. Part of the focus in improving this technology is the need for accurate and real time locational knowledge of the signal receivers, which are located at the tips of aircraft wings. Due to turbulence during flight, the fluttering motion of the wings alter the distance and angle relationships of the two receivers and add noise to the received signal data, which negatively affect the triangulation estimates. To mitigate this error caused by the wing flutter, Raytheon is developing a software …

Diseño De Un Sistema De Adquisición Y Visualización De Los Resultados, Con Base En El Diagnóstico De Los Requisitos Técnicos De La Norma Iso Iec 17025 2005, En La Medición De Las Variables Humedad Y Temperatura En El Ideam, Victoria Andrea Leal Saavedra, Jonathan Jesús Cuéllar Guzmán

Ingeniería en Automatización

El proceso de calibración de un instrumento se basa principalmente en una serie de procedimientos establecidos que parten desde la reparación mecánica y estética y finalizan dejando a punto dicho instrumento. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, cabe aclarar que los laboratorios encargados de realizar estos procesos, son laboratorios que cuentan con una calificación de alta calidad a nivel internacional, esto por medio de una certificación de cumplimiento de la norma ISO/IEC 17025:2005 en el caso de los laboratorios de muestreo y calibración. Para cumplir con este tipo de normas se deben seguir una serie de indicaciones que están propuestas en …

System-Wide Performance Analysis For Virtualization, Deron Eugene Jensen

Dissertations and Theses

With the current trend in cloud computing and virtualization, more organizations are moving their systems from a physical host to a virtual server.

Although this can significantly reduce hardware, power, and administration costs, it can increase the cost of analyzing performance problems. With virtualization, there is an initial performance overhead, and as more virtual machines are added to a physical host the interference increases between various guest machines. When this interference occurs, a virtualized guest application may not perform as expected. There is little or no information to the virtual OS about the interference, and the current performance tools in …

Ranked Similarity Search Of Scientific Datasets: An Information Retrieval Approach, Veronika Margaret Megler

Dissertations and Theses

In the past decade, the amount of scientific data collected and generated by scientists has grown dramatically. This growth has intensified an existing problem: in large archives consisting of datasets stored in many files, formats and locations, how can scientists find data relevant to their research interests? We approach this problem in a new way: by adapting Information Retrieval techniques, developed for searching text documents, into the world of (primarily numeric) scientific data. We propose an approach that uses a blend of automated and curated methods to extract metadata from large repositories of scientific data. We then perform searches over …

Implementing A Robust Data Storage Software System For Cp9, Stuart Andrew Weickgenant

Computer Engineering

This project focuses on the continuation of the CP9 CubeSat project, specifically the software which will be running on the satellite when it goes into space. This project mostly goes into designing a robust system which stores the data collected from the sensors on board CP9, whose purpose is to collect vibrations data from its launch vehicle during its ascent into space, into an easy to analyze system once the data is downlinked to PolySat’s ground station after launch. One other thing this system does is to prevent CP9 from collecting unnecessary data after launch. Testing was done on this …

The I: A Client-Based Point-And-Click Puzzle Game, Aldo Lewis

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

Given mobile devices’ weak computational power, game programmers must learn to create games with simple graphics that are engaging and easy to play. Though seldom created for phones and tablets, puzzle games are a perfect fit. In recent years, the genre has gained a following and even won some acclaim. Games like Myst, The Seventh Guest and Portal all engage gamers with challenging puzzles and then reward them with story components upon task fulfillment. Few such games have been created for mobile devices, in part due to the difficulty of developing for devices with different operating systems. Android, WebIOS and …

Decafs: A Modular Distributed File System To Facilitate Distributed Systems Education, Halli Elaine Meth

Master's Theses

Data quantity, speed requirements, reliability constraints, and other factors encourage industry developers to build distributed systems and use distributed services. Software engineers are therefore exposed to distributed systems and services daily in the workplace. However, distributed computing is hard to teach in Computer Science courses due to the complexity distribution brings to all problem spaces. This presents a gap in education where students may not fully understand the challenges introduced with distributed systems. Teaching students distributed concepts would help better prepare them for industry development work.

DecaFS, Distributed Educational Component Adaptable File System, is a modular distributed file system designed …

Hybrid Data Storage Framework For The Biometrics Domain, Abhinav Tiwari

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Biometric based authentication is one of the most popular techniques adopted in large-scale identity matching systems due to its robustness in access control. In recent years, the number of enrolments has increased significantly posing serious issues towards the performance and scalability of these systems. In addition, the use of multiple modalities (such as face, iris and fingerprint) is further increasing the issues related to scalability. This research work focuses on the development of a new Hybrid Data Storage Framework (HDSF) that would improve scalability and performance of biometric authentication systems (BAS). In this framework, the scalability issue is addressed by …

Implementación De Un Software Para El Sistema De Gestión De Los Laboratorios De La Universidad De La Salle, Diego Hernando Moya Villalobos, Néstor Mauricio Ferreira Gutiérrez

Ingeniería en Automatización

La Universidad de La Salle cuenta con laboratorios para sus diferentes facultades, los cuales, hasta el año 2013 eran dirigidos por cada programa académico sin tener un control de información general que permitiera la correcta administración de los mismos. Actualmente y como solución al problema anterior los laboratorios se unieron bajo una misma dirección sin importar la dependencia a la cual pertenecían buscando un mejor servicio y administración de los laboratorios y los elementos que lo conforman. Una vez se ha dado la integración surge la necesidad de un software para el sistema de gestión de los mismos, que no …
