GANGs: an Energy Efficient Medium Access Protocol
(2010-04-13)
Recent advances in wireless communications and electronics have enabled the development of low-cost sensor networks. Low energy storage capacity is one of the critical features of nodes in these networks. Communication ...
Energy-efficient Clustering Method for Wireless Sensor Networks
(2010-07-14)
Wireless sensor networks have recently emerged as an important computing platform. These sensors are power-limited and have limited computing resources. Therefore the sensor energy has to be managed wisely in order to ...
Energy Efficient Pre-Fetching - Models to Implementation
(2010-04-29)
With the rapid growth of the production and storage of large scale data sets
it is important to investigate methods to drive the cost of storage systems down. We are currently in the midst of an information explosion and ...
Collaborative-Adversarial Pair (CAP) Programming
(2010-01-13)
The advocates of pair programming claim that it has a number of benefits over traditional individual programming, including faster software development, higher quality code, reduced overall software development cost, ...
Modeling the Effects of Intelligent Driver Assistance on Driver Behaviors
(2010-06-01)
Many studies have concluded that activities like answering a cell phone call and entering an address while driving could potentially distract the driver. This thesis presents the design and experimental evaluation by ...
Social Networking Teaching Tools: A Computer Supported Collaborative Interactive Learning Environment for K-12
(2010-06-15)
Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) is a broad area which, is to investigate using technology to facilitate collaboration. This research is to investigate and develop a collaborative educational environment as a ...
A Clustering Rule-based Approach for Classification Problems
(2010-05-24)
Today’s data storage and collection abilities have allowed the accumulation of enormous amounts of data. Data mining can be a useful tool in transforming these large amounts of raw data into useful information. Predictive ...
Tree-Based Virtual Backbone Construction in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2010-05-12)
The connected dominating set (CDS) has been extensively used for
routing and broadcast in mobile ad hoc networks. While existing CDS
protocols are successful in constructing CDS of small size,
they either require localized ...
Culturally Situated Design Tools: Animated Support Tools for Mathematics
(2010-04-12)
Culturally Situated Design Tools (CSDTs) are web-based software applications that allow students to create simulations of cultural arts: Native American beadwork, African American cornrow hairstyles, urban graffiti, and ...
Distributed Listening in Automatic Speech Recognition
(2010-06-30)
While speech recognition systems have come a long way in the last forty years,
there is still room for improvement. Although readily available, these systems are
sometimes inaccurate and insufficient. The research presented ...
