Using A Data Warehouse As Part Of A General Business Process Data Analysis System, Amit Maor
Using A Data Warehouse As Part Of A General Business Process Data Analysis System, Amit Maor
CMC Senior Theses
Data analytics queries often involve aggregating over massive amounts of data, in order to detect trends in the data, make predictions about future data, and make business decisions as a result. As such, it is important that a database management system (DBMS) handling data analytics queries perform well when those queries involve massive amounts of data. A data warehouse is a DBMS which is designed specifically to handle data analytics queries.
This thesis describes the data warehouse Amazon Redshift, and how it was used to design a data analysis system for Laserfiche. Laserfiche is a software company that provides each …
How Can We Have A Better Public Transportation System? –An Exploratory Agent Based Model, Boyu Liu
How Can We Have A Better Public Transportation System? –An Exploratory Agent Based Model, Boyu Liu
Pomona Senior Theses
Public transportation plays an integral part in a city's development, but transportation professionals disagree about whether it is feasible to increase the capacity of public transportation systems at a reasonable cost; and if it is, how. This study develops an agent based model that aims to answer this question and provide a framework to compare the effects of improvements in different aspects of the public transportation service. The results of this study show that it is possible to increase ridership enough to compensate for the increased operational cost, but only in certain circumstances. Interesting phenomenon that might have showed up …
Line-Of-Sight Pursuit And Evasion Games On Polytopes In R^N, John Phillpot
Line-Of-Sight Pursuit And Evasion Games On Polytopes In R^N, John Phillpot
HMC Senior Theses
We study single-pursuer, line-of-sight Pursuit and Evasion games in polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We develop winning Pursuer strategies for simple classes of polytopes (monotone prisms) in Rn, using proven algorithms for polygons as inspiration and as subroutines. More generally, we show that any Pursuer-win polytope can be extended to a new Pursuer-win polytope in more dimensions. We also show that some more general classes of polytopes (monotone products) do not admit a deterministic winning Pursuer strategy. Though we provide bounds on which polytopes are Pursuer-win, these bounds are not tight. Closing the gap between those polytopes known to be …
Towards A New Gis Maturity Model: An Organizational Usage Perspective, Omer Abdulaziz Alrwais
Towards A New Gis Maturity Model: An Organizational Usage Perspective, Omer Abdulaziz Alrwais
CGU Theses & Dissertations
The first condition required for an Information Technology (IT) system to produce value is that it be used by its designated target group of users. Despite the prevalence of “system use” in IS literature, it has been often limited to the individual level. The organizational perspective is rarely considered. This dissertation focuses on system usage in the GIS domain through an organizational lens. GIS is a technology with the potential to transform government by enhancing business processes and providing a platform to manage spatial and non-spatial data, which is expected to result in better decision-making. However, little is known about …
