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 …
Indoor And Outdoor Real Time Information Collection In Disaster Scenario, Dongyi Yang
Indoor And Outdoor Real Time Information Collection In Disaster Scenario, Dongyi Yang
Masters Theses
A disaster usually severely harms human health and property. After a disaster, great amount of information of a disaster area is needed urgently. The information not only indicates the severity of the disaster, but also is crucial for an efficient search and rescue process. In order to quickly and accurately collect real time information in a disaster scenario, a mobile platform is developed for an outdoor scenario and a localization and navigation system for responders is introduced for an indoor scenario.
The mobile platform has been integrated to the DIORAMA system. It is built with a 6-wheel robot chassis along …

Nutty Adventures, Tony Hsu, Mandy Chan
Computer Engineering
Nutty Adventures is an Android game. The goal is to gather acorns for day-to-day survival, upgrades, and hoarding. Ultimately, the player must have enough acorns by the time Winter comes to fulfill the squirrel’s quest: providing enough acorns for his squirrel kingdom during the barren Winter season. Throughout the days, the player has to keep track of time and monsters, which might influence player decisions.

Enterprise Smart Outlet: Android Development, Aaron Koeppel
Computer Science and Software Engineering
This project consists of one part of a larger multidisciplinary project, Enterprise Smart Outlet. The purpose of the Enterprise Smart Outlet is to create an electrical outlet which would allow enterprise users to monitor and change their power consumption habits on a large scale. The goal of this project is to allow consumers to see their power consumption per outlet in real time, and then use that information to inform their future habits, helping them conserve electrical energy and money. The Enterprise Smart Outlet Android application provides an interface to display the real time data of all smart outlets connected …
Pinpoint: Efficient And Effective Resource Isolation For Mobile Security And Privacy, Paul Ratazzi, Ashok Bommisetti, Nian Ji, Wenliang Du
Pinpoint: Efficient And Effective Resource Isolation For Mobile Security And Privacy, Paul Ratazzi, Ashok Bommisetti, Nian Ji, Wenliang Du
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship
Virtualization is frequently used to isolate untrusted processes and control their access to sensitive resources. However, isolation usually carries a price in terms of less resource sharing and reduced inter-process communication. In an open architecture such as Android, this price and its impact on performance, usability, and transparency must be carefully considered. Although previous efforts in developing general-purpose isolation solutions have shown that some of these negative sideeffects can be mitigated, doing so involves overcoming significant design challenges by incorporating numerous additional platform complexities not directly related to improved security. Thus, the general purpose solutions become inefficient and burdensome if …
Grit Mobile: Data Collection App For The Grit Research Project, Ryan Chang
Grit Mobile: Data Collection App For The Grit Research Project, Ryan Chang
Computer Science and Software Engineering
This project consists of one part of a larger University research project aimed at determining if active learning builds the character trait of grit in students while they learn in the domain of mechanical engineering. The research project has three goals: the development of a mobile app to measure the quantity and quality of active learning, a model of student success using the quantity and quality of active learning, and a characterization of the relationship between active learning and grit growth. This senior project focuses on the mobile app as part of the larger research project. The mobile app will …
Analyzing WiFi P2p In The Context Of A Hangman Game, William L. Honig
Analyzing WiFi P2p In The Context Of A Hangman Game, William L. Honig
William L Honig
WiFi P2P , which complies with the WiFi Alliance's WiFi Direct™ certification
2 3
program, is a relatively new addition to wireless communications systems. It is now
supported in Android operating system (since version 4.0). In theory, WiFi Direct offers
advantages for ad hoc communications between mobile apps. A key goal of this project
was to evaluate the ability of WiFi P2P for interconnecting mobile apps by using a
common game suitable to mobile screens and devices.
The application allows the user to interconnect two devices using WiFi P2P and
play the classic hangman game. The players search for devices …
Network And Device Forensic Analysis Of Android Social-Messaging Applications, Daniel Walnycky, Ibrahim Baggili, Andrew Marrington, Jason Moore, Frank Breitinger
Network And Device Forensic Analysis Of Android Social-Messaging Applications, Daniel Walnycky, Ibrahim Baggili, Andrew Marrington, Jason Moore, Frank Breitinger
Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
In this research we forensically acquire and analyze the device-stored data and network traffic of 20 popular instant messaging applications for Android. We were able to reconstruct some or the entire message content from 16 of the 20 applications tested, which reflects poorly on the security and privacy measures employed by these applications but may be construed positively for evidence collection purposes by digital forensic practitioners. This work shows which features of these instant messaging applications leave evidentiary traces allowing for suspect data to be reconstructed or partially reconstructed, and whether network forensics or device forensics permits the reconstruction of …

Disc Golf Locator
The purpose of this project was to develop a device that could help a player locate a disc used in disc golf. The device could attach to the disc and track the location and movement of the disc. In addition, the device could transfer this data to a smartphone application and emit a loud noise to aid in locating the disc. On this project, I developed the smartphone application to communicate with the device. The application transferred the saved …
