Hiking Trail Generation In Infinite Landscapes, Matthew Jensen
Hiking Trail Generation In Infinite Landscapes, Matthew Jensen
MS in Computer Science Project Reports
This project procedurally generates an infinite wilderness populated with deterministic hiking trails. Our approach recognizes that hiking trails depend on contextual information beyond the location of the path itself. To address this, we implemented a layered procedural system that orchestrates the generation process. This helps ensure the availability of contextual data at each stage. The first layer handles terrain generation, establishing the foundational landscape upon which trails will traverse. Subsequent layers handle point of interest identification and selection, trail network optimization through proximity graphs, and efficient pathfinding across the terrain. A notable feature of our approach is the deterministic nature …

A Restful Framework For Writing, Running, And Evaluating Code In Multiple Academic Settings, Christopher Ban
MS in Computer Science Project Reports
In academia, students and professors want a well-structured and implemented framework for writing and running code in both testing and learning environments. The current limitations of the paper and pencil medium have led to the creation of many different online grading systems. However, no known system provides all of the essential features our client is interested in. Our system, developed in conjunction with Doctor Halterman, offers the ability to build modules from flat files, allow code to be compiled and run in the browser, provide users with immediate feedback, support multiple languages, and offer a module designed specifically for an …
Design And Implementation Of Asymptotically Optimal Mesh Slicing Algorithms Using Parallel Processing, Christopher Dant
Design And Implementation Of Asymptotically Optimal Mesh Slicing Algorithms Using Parallel Processing, Christopher Dant
MS in Computer Science Project Reports
Mesh slicing is the process of taking a three dimensional model and reducing it to 2.5 dimensional layers that together create a layered representation of the model. The process is used in layered additive manufacturing, three dimensional voxelization, and other similar problems in computational geometry. The slicing process is computationally expensive, and the time required to slice an object can inhibit the viability of layered manufacturing in some industries. We designed and developed a fast implementation of the slicing process, called Sunder, that uses new asymptotically optimal algorithms and takes advantage of parallel processing platforms. To our knowledge, no other …

Artificially Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning System With Ai Student Component, Denee M. Mcclain
Senior Research Projects
Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) systems follow an accepted format, which utilizes an artificially intelligent tutor. The systems allow the user to input a sentence in the target language and the AI tutor analyzes the sentence and provides error correction. This approach can be expensive, impractical, and inflexible. Inflexibility can result in a lower quality of learning for the users of these systems. Here I present an alternative format for ICALL systems that utilizes an artificially intelligent student. This alternative is cost effective and practical because it does not require extra development time to make the artificial intelligence an …
