Single And Multiobjective Approaches To Clustering With Point Symmetry., Sriparna Saha Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In our every day life, we make decisions consciously or unconsciously. This decision can be very simple such as selecting the color of dress or deciding the menu for lunch, or may be as difficult as those involved in designing a missile or in selecting a career. The former decision is easy to take, while the latter one might take several years due to the level of complexity involved in it. The main goal of most kinds of decision-making is to optimize one or more criteria in order to achieve the desired result. In other words, problems related to optimization …
Computational Modeling Of Biological Neural Networks On Gpus: Strategies And Performance, Byron Galbraith
Computational Modeling Of Biological Neural Networks On Gpus: Strategies And Performance, Byron Galbraith
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Simulating biological neural networks is an important task for computational neuroscientists attempting to model and analyze brain activity and function. As these networks become larger and more complex, the computational power required grows significantly, often requiring the use of supercomputers or compute clusters. An emerging low-cost, highly accessible alternative to many of these resources is the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) - specialized massively-parallel graphics hardware that has seen increasing use as a general purpose computational accelerator thanks largely due to NVIDIA's CUDA programming interface. We evaluated the relative benefits and limitations of GPU-based tools for large-scale neural network simulation and …

FPGA Field-programmable gate-arrays (FPGA) are programmable hardware platforms with pre-fabricated logic and interconnects, which are electrically programmed by the user to realize a variety of circuits frequently required in a wide range of applications. Unlike application-specific integrated-circuits (ASICs), where realization of a circuit design takes several man-hours and enormous effort, the pre-fabricated logic and interconnects can be quickly programmed according to the design specification and made functional. Thus, in contrast to the ASICs, FPGAs can be customized and reconfigured depending on the need of the user. A basic FPGA chip consists of a set of configurable logic blocks (CLB) and …
Naked Object File System (Nofs): A Framework To Expose An Object-Oriented Domain Model As A File System, Joseph P. Kaylor, Konstantin Läufer, George K. Thiruvathukal
Naked Object File System (Nofs): A Framework To Expose An Object-Oriented Domain Model As A File System, Joseph P. Kaylor, Konstantin Läufer, George K. Thiruvathukal
Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
We present Naked Objects File System (NOFS), a novel framework that allows a developer to expose a domain model as a file system by leveraging the Naked Objects design principle. NOFS allows a developer to construct a file system without having to understand or implement all details related to normal file systems development. In this paper we explore file systems frameworks and object-oriented frameworks in a historical context and present an example domain model using the framework. This paper is based on a fully-functional implementation that is distributed as free/open source software, including virtual machine images to demonstrate and study …

Inter Spem Et Metum, Fiat Lux, Michael A. Mota
Honors Projects
Explores the design and development of a simple, 3D flight simulator. The resulting application allows users to pilot an abstract human avatar and to create free-hand strokes and physically-based explosions onto the environment through a ball discharge meta-game feature. Uses the C++ language, and the ancillary programming API libraries, OpenGL, GLEW, and Win32.

Application Of Combinatorial Structures To Key Predistribution In Sensor Networks And Traitor Tracing., Sushmita Ruj Dr.
Doctoral Theses
From time immemorial people have used cryptography for secure communication. Cryptography has decided the fate of many kings and queens as well as the outcome of various wars. It has become all the more important nowadays, with the growing need of electronic communication. We now live in a society where electronic networks pervade all aspects of our professional and private lives. We all use cryptography when we do bank transfers by ATM, or SWIFT, while using the mobile phones and i-phones, SSL protocols or using password protected machines. Though electronic communication is fast and easy, it is vulnerable to security …

The E-Carrel project aims to address the preservation of, access to, and re-uses of humanities electronic text files. It enables dynamic, growing resource projects as repositories for new knowledge. It provides for on-line distributed data and tools that are open to new scholarly enhancement through a user friendly tagging tool, sophisticated use of stand-off markup and annotation (leveraging RDF capabilities), and a browsing system anyone can use. It creates a secure system of text preparation and dissemination that encourages collaboration and participation by anyone interested in the texts. To insure the endurance of authenticated texts, multiple copies are distributed on …
