User Interface Design And Forensic Analysis For Diorama, Decision Support System For Mass Casualty Incidents, Jun Yi Nov 2015

User Interface Design And Forensic Analysis For Diorama, Decision Support System For Mass Casualty Incidents, Jun Yi

Masters Theses

In this thesis we introduces the user interface design and forensic analysis tool for DIORAMA system. With an Android device, DIORAMA provides emergency personnel the ability to collect information in real time, track the resources and manage them. It allows the responders and commanders to mange multiple incidents simultaneously. This thesis also describes the implementations of commander app and responder app, as well as two different communication strategies used in DIORAMA. Several trials and simulated mass casualty incidents were conducted to test the functionalities and performance of DIORAMA system. All responders that participated in all trials were very satisfied with …


Design And Implementation Of A High Performance Network Processor With Dynamic Workload Management, Padmaja Duggisetty Nov 2015

Design And Implementation Of A High Performance Network Processor With Dynamic Workload Management, Padmaja Duggisetty

Masters Theses

Internet plays a crucial part in today's world. Be it personal communication, business transactions or social networking, internet is used everywhere and hence the speed of the communication infrastructure plays an important role. As the number of users increase the network usage increases i.e., the network data rates ramped up from a few Mb/s to Gb/s in less than a decade. Hence the network infrastructure needed a major upgrade to be able to support such high data rates. Technological advancements have enabled the communication links like optical fibres to support these high bandwidths, but the processing speed at the nodes …


Energy-Efficient Content Delivery Networks, Vimal Mathew Nov 2015

Energy-Efficient Content Delivery Networks, Vimal Mathew

Doctoral Dissertations

Internet-scale distributed systems such as content delivery networks (CDNs) operate hundreds of thousands of servers deployed in thousands of data center locations around the globe. Since the energy costs of operating such a large IT infrastructure are a significant fraction of the total operating costs, we argue for redesigning them to incorporate energy optimization as a first-order principle. We focus on CDNs and demonstrate techniques to save energy while meeting client-perceived service level agreements (SLAs) and minimizing impact on hardware reliability. Servers deployed at individual data centers can be switched off at low load to save energy. We show that …


Evaluation Of Two-Dimensional Codes For Digital Information Security In Physical Documents, Shuai Chen Jul 2015

Evaluation Of Two-Dimensional Codes For Digital Information Security In Physical Documents, Shuai Chen

Masters Theses

Nowadays, paper documents are still frequently used and exchanged in our daily life. To safely manage confidential paper information such as medical and financial records has increasingly become a challenge. If a patient's medical diagnosis get stolen or dumped without shredding, his or her private information would be leaked. Some companies and organizations do not pay enough attention to the problem, letting their customers suffer the loss. In the thesis, I designed a hybrid system to solve this problem effectively and economically. This hybrid system integrates physical document properties with digital security technology, which brings in a revolutionary idea for …
