Supporting The Discovery, Reuse, And Validation Of Cybersecurity Requirements At The Early Stages Of The Software Development Lifecycle, Jessica Antonia Steinmann
Supporting The Discovery, Reuse, And Validation Of Cybersecurity Requirements At The Early Stages Of The Software Development Lifecycle, Jessica Antonia Steinmann
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
The focus of this research is to develop an approach that enhances the elicitation and specification of reusable cybersecurity requirements. Cybersecurity has become a global concern as cyber-attacks are projected to cost damages totaling more than $10.5 trillion dollars by 2025. Cybersecurity requirements are more challenging to elicit than other requirements because they are nonfunctional requirements that requires cybersecurity expertise and knowledge of the proposed system. The goal of this research is to generate cybersecurity requirements based on knowledge acquired from requirements elicitation and analysis activities, to provide cybersecurity specifications without requiring the specialized knowledge of a cybersecurity expert, and …
Perturbation Modeling For Molecular Design Of Protein Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Using Unsupervised Machine Learning, Keerthi Krishnan
Perturbation Modeling For Molecular Design Of Protein Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Using Unsupervised Machine Learning, Keerthi Krishnan
Computational and Data Sciences (MS) Theses
The field of computational drug discovery and development has grown, with the aid of new computational tools for novel molecule discovery. In specific, generative deep learning models have excelled as tools to aid in navigating the large space of known molecules and in the creation of new molecules. These models are fed various representations of molecules as inputs and learn to perform a variety of things, such as the optimization of these molecules towards a targeted property. Ultimately, these generative learning models allow us to build bridges between chemical and continuous spaces to understand the compromise between invoking small incremental …

Development Of Software Tools For Efficient And Sustainable Process Development And Improvement, Jake P. Stengel
Theses and Dissertations
Infrastructure is a key component in the well-being of our society that leads to its growth, development, and productive operations. A well-built infrastructure allows the community to be more competitive and promotes economic advancement. In 2021, the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) ranked the American infrastructure as substandard, with an overall grade of C-. The overall ranking suffers when key infrastructure categories are not maintained according to the needs of the population. Therefore, there is a need to consider alternative methods to improve our infrastructure and make it more sustainable to enhance the overall grade. One of the challenges …
Machine Learning With Big Data For Electrical Load Forecasting, Alexandra L'Heureux
Machine Learning With Big Data For Electrical Load Forecasting, Alexandra L'Heureux
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Today, the amount of data collected is exploding at an unprecedented rate due to developments in Web technologies, social media, mobile and sensing devices and the internet of things (IoT). Data is gathered in every aspect of our lives: from financial information to smart home devices and everything in between. The driving force behind these extensive data collections is the promise of increased knowledge. Therefore, the potential of Big Data relies on our ability to extract value from these massive data sets. Machine learning is central to this quest because of its ability to learn from data and provide data-driven …
Legislative Language For Success, Sanjana Gundala
Legislative Language For Success, Sanjana Gundala
Master's Theses
Legislative committee meetings are an integral part of the lawmaking process for local and state bills. The testimony presented during these meetings is a large factor in the outcome of the proposed bill. This research uses Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques to analyze testimonies from California Legislative committee meetings from 2015-2016 in order to identify what aspects of a testimony makes it successful. A testimony is considered successful if the alignment of the testimony matches the bill outcome (alignment is "For" and the bill passes or alignment is "Against" and the bill fails). The process of finding what …

Efficacy Of Reported Issue Times As A Means For Effort Estimation, Paul Phillip Maclean
Efficacy Of Reported Issue Times As A Means For Effort Estimation, Paul Phillip Maclean
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Software effort is a measure of manpower dedicated to developing and maintaining and software. Effort estimation can help project managers monitor their software, teams, and timelines. Conversely, improper effort estimation can result in budget overruns, delays, lost contracts, and accumulated Technical Debt (TD). Issue Tracking Systems (ITS) have become mainstream project management tools, with over 65,000 companies using Jira alone. ITS are an untapped resource for issue resolution effort research. Related work investigates issue effort for specific issue types, usually Bugs or similar. They model their developer-documented issue resolution times using features from the issues themselves. This thesis explores a …
