A Platform For Scalable Low-Latency Analytics Using Mapreduce, Boduo Li

Doctoral Dissertations

Today, the ability to process "big data" has become crucial to the information needs of many enterprise businesses, scientific applications, and governments. Recently, there have been increasing needs of processing data that is not only "big" but also "fast". Here "fast data" refers to high-speed real-time and near real-time data streams, such as Twitter feeds, search query streams, click streams, impressions, and system logs. To handle both historical data and real-time data, many companies have to maintain multiple systems. However, recent real-world case studies show that maintaining multiple systems cause not only code duplication, but also intensive manual work to …

Design And Implementation Of Digital Information Security For Physical Documents, Pengcheng Wang

Masters Theses

The objective of this thesis is to improve the security for physical paper documents. Providing information security has been difficult in environments that rely on physical paper documents to implement business processes. Our work presents the design of a digital information security system for paper documents, called "CryptoPaper", that uses 2-dimensional codes to represent data and its security properties on paper. A special scanner system is designed for "CryptoPaper" which uses image recognition techniques and cloud-based access control to display plaintext of encrypted and encoded data to authorized users.

Index Strategies For Efficient And Effective Entity Search, Huy T. Vu

Master's Projects

The volume of structured data has rapidly grown in recent years, when data-entity emerged as an abstraction that captures almost every data pieces. As a result, searching for a desired piece of information on the web could be a challenge in term of time and relevancy because the number of matching entities could be very large for a given query. This project concerns with the efficiency and effectiveness of such entity queries. The work contains two major parts: implement inverted indexing strategies so that queries can be searched in minimal time, and rank results based on features that are independent …

An Open Source Advertisement Server, Pushkar Umaranikar

Master's Projects

This report describes a new online advertisement system and its implementation for the Yioop open source search engine. This system was implemented for my CS298 project. It supports both selling advertisements and displaying them within search results. The selling of advertisement is done using a novel auction system, which we describe in this paper. With this auction system, it is possible to create an advertisement, attach keywords to it, and add it to the advertisement inventory. An advertisement is displayed on a search results page if the search keyword matches the keywords attached to the advertisement. Display of advertisements is …

A Scalable Search Engine Aggregator, Pooja Mishra

Master's Projects

The ability to display different media sources in an appropriate way is an integral part of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, as well as social networking sites like Facebook, etc. This project explores and implements various media-updating features of the open source search engine Yioop [1]. These include news aggregation, video conversion and email distribution. An older, preexisting news update feature of Yioop was modified and scaled so that it can work on many machines. We redesigned and modified the user interface associated with a distributed news updater feature in Yioop. This project also introduced a video …

Instamapp, Andrew Dicosmo, Preethi Reddy, Venkat Nischey

All Capstone Projects

InstaMapp is a web application we started building in fall 2014. This application is intended for anyone who wants to locate a product from a department store. Anyone who would like to print or view a shopping list with aisle or department locations. Currently there isn’t a reliable application out that that exist in the technology space. InstaMapp currently integrates with Walmart’s API and supports a responsive design for mobile devices.

During fall 2014, we built a proof of concept on Microsoft Windows Azure websites integrating with Intel Mashery Services for the API. We used the following Languages: PHP, JQuery, …

Big Data Analytics By Using Hadoop, Chaitanya Arava, Sudharshan Bandaru, Saradhi Bhargava Reddy Tiyyagura

All Capstone Projects

Data is large and vast, with more data coming into the system every day. Summarization analytics are all about grouping similar data together and then performing an operation such as calculating a statistic, building an index, or just simply counting.

Filtering is more about understanding a smaller piece of your data, such as all records generated from a particular user, or the top ten most used verbs in a corpus of text. In short, filtering allows you to apply a microscope to your data. It can also be considered a form of search.

Hadoop allows us to modify the way …

Hadoop "The Emerging Tool In The Present Scenario For Accessing The Large Sets Of Data", Chandra Kiran Movva, Tejaswi Sura, Ranjith Reddy Thipparthi

All Capstone Projects

Hadoop is one of the tools designed to handle big data. Hadoop and other software products work to interpret or parse the results of big data searches through specific proprietary algorithms and methods. Hadoop is an open-source program under the Apache license that is maintained by a global community of users. It includes various main components, including a MapReduce set of functions and a Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS). The idea behind MapReduce is that Hadoop can first map a large data set, and then perform a reduction on that content for specific results. A reduce function can be thought …

A Web-Based Temperature Monitoring System For The College Of Arts And Letters, Rigoberto Solorio

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

In general, server rooms have restricted access requiring that staff possess access codes, keys, etc. Normally, only administrators are provided access to protect the physical hardware and the data stored in the servers. Servers also have firewalls to restrict outsiders from accessing them via the Internet. Servers also cost a lot of money. For this reason, server rooms also need to be protected against overheating. This will prolong the lifecycle of the units and can prevent data loss from hardware failure.

The California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB), Specifically the College of Arts and Letters server room has faced power …

Building Cloud-Based Information Systems Lab Architecture: Deriving Design Principles That Facilitate The Effective Construction And Evaluation Of A Cloud-Based Lab Environment, Thomas J. Trevethan

CCE Theses and Dissertations

The problem explored in this dissertation report was that at the time of this study, there were no design principles or methodologies based on design science research (DSR) available to use for artifact construction, implementation, and effective evaluation of cloud-based networking lab environments that can be used to foster hands-on technology skills in students. Primarily based on Hevner’s 7 guidelines of DSR, Peffer’s design science research methodology (DSRM), and Gregor’s IS design theory, this study forms the groundwork for the development of procedures and specifications derived from DSR literature to facilitate the construction, implementation, and evaluation of a comprehensive cloud-based …

An Application Of The Autism Management Platform To Tracking Student Progress In The Special Education Environment, Ryan Thomas Burns

Computational and Data Sciences Theses

In the age of online courses and digital textbooks, several areas of academia, such as special education, are far behind in the technological revolution. Some teachers use long unstructured digital documents, while others maintain large physical files for students containing every piece of information or coursework they have ever received. Could these extremely unstructured approaches to data collection and aggregation be streamlined with a software platform built specifically for this purpose? Could this platform also be built to accommodate multiple integrations and practical new features? Most importantly, in terms of usability, would this software be enjoyable to use? The Autism …
