Accelerating The Information-Theoretic Approach Of Community Detection Using Distributed And Hybrid Memory Parallel Schemes, Md Abdul Motaleb Faysal
Accelerating The Information-Theoretic Approach Of Community Detection Using Distributed And Hybrid Memory Parallel Schemes, Md Abdul Motaleb Faysal
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
There are several approaches for discovering communities in a network (graph). Despite being approximating in nature, discovering communities based on the laws of Information Theory has a proven standard of accuracy. The information-theoretic algorithm known as Infomap developed a decade ago for detecting communities, did not foresee the tremendous growth of social networking, multimedia, and massive information boom. To discover communities in massive networks, we have designed a distributed-memory-parallel Infomap in the MPI framework. Our design reaches scalability of over 500 processes capable of processing networks with millions of edges while maintaining quality comparable to the sequential Infomap. We have …

Reaper – Toward Automating Mobile Cloud Communication, Daniel R. Ward
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Mobile devices connected to cloud based services are becoming a mainstream method of delivery up-to-date and context aware information to users. Connecting mobile applications to cloud service require significant developer effort. Yet this communication code usually follows certain patterns, varying accordingly to the specific type of data sent and received from the server. By analyzing the causes of theses variations, we can create a system that can automate the code creation for communication from a mobile device to a cloud server. To automate code creation, a general pattern must extracted. This general solution can then be applied to any database …
