(2018-04-17)Department: Computer ScienceTransportation infrastructure is a complex human cyber-physical system that is currently facing significant challenges in many communities around the world. The problem emanates from increased congestion, which results in ...
-
(2018-08-22)Department: Computer ScienceDecision making in the presence of uncertainty received a major focus of traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. In an adversarial environment with competing agents, this challenge is compounded by interdependence: ...
-
(2021-11-29)Department: Computer ScienceThe quantitative detection, segmentation, and characterization of glomeruli from high-resolution whole slide imaging (WSI) play essential roles in the computer-assisted diagnosis and scientific research in digital renal ...
-
An Adaptive Scaffolding Framework for Self-Regulated Learning in an Open-Ended Learning Environment (2023-01-20)Department: Computer ScienceSelf-regulated learning (SRL), which involves the regulation of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, and motivational processes, is an important construct for analyzing effective student learning in open-ended learning ...
-
(2024-03-25)Department: Computer ScienceGiven the ubiquity and significance of social network systems, comprehending the network topology is essential for a deeper understanding of these networks and can help guide online user interactions. One notable phenomenon ...
-
(2008-07-15)Department: Computer ScienceCoupling between software modules has been shown to be deleterious to both software quality and maintainability. Common coupling (two or more modules sharing a global variable, or GV) is a particularly strong (and therefore ...
-
(2008-04-14)Department: Computer ScienceFault diagnosis mechanisms for continuous dynamic systems involve building observers that can track system behavior. Continuous dynamic systems can be modeled using bond graphs which are a domain independent graphical ...
-
(2007-03-05)Department: Computer ScienceIntrusion detection allows an organization to monitor its network for possible attacks. The ability of an intrusion detection system (IDS) to distinguish correctly between attacks and normal activity is important. The ...
-
(2015-03-23)Department: Computer ScienceImmersive virtual environment (IVE) systems have applications in many areas, such as training, physical therapy, and entertainment. This thesis examines a fundamental function in IVEs: navigation. We built and optimized a ...
-
(2018-04-13)Department: Computer ScienceThis thesis presents an extensible visual language for constraint specification in domain-specific modeling environments. As the language is designed within a modeling language itself, the metamodel and visual syntax are ...
-
(2015-03-24)Department: Computer ScienceRobotic systems have proven effective with recent deployments of unmanned robots in numerous missions. Teaming multiple agents requires efficient coalition formation, which is an NP-complete problem that is also hard to ...
-

-
(2015-10-20)Department: Computer ScienceCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex systems which involve tight interactions between physical dynamics, computational platforms, communication networks, and embedded software. The complex interactions prevent us from ...
-
(2013-04-18)Department: Computer ScienceAs systems become more complex and the amount of operational data collected from these systems increases proportionally, new challenges arise about how this data can be used to better understand system operations, and ...
-
(2018-09-18)Department: Computer ScienceThe U.S. healthcare data has undergone significant transformations as computerized technologies have evolved in recent decades. Data trends in healthcare have transitioned from less frequent, higher-fidelity provider-documented ...
-
(2014-10-29)Department: Computer ScienceIn the field of image registration there is a pressing need for techniques that can assess the quality of a registration. Currently there is no widespread method to determine error in an image registration, a weakness of ...
-
(2020-03-27)Department: Computer ScienceDeep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms today suffer heavily from sample inefficiency – the need for a lot of training samples to learn the desired behavior. Although there are quite a few reasons for this inefficiency, one ...
-
(2018-02-13)Department: Computer ScienceTraditional methods for collecting data in support of clinical research include prospectively collected surveys, retrospective analyses of existing medical records, and a combination of the two. Yet these approaches tend ...
