Approximate Evaluation of Queries for Spatial, Uncertain and Probabilistic Databases
(2011-07-18)
In modern geographic information systems, route search represents an important class
of queries. In route search related applications, users may want to define a number of
traveling rules (traveling preferences) when ...
Role of the Best Practices from Extant Literature in Current Algorithm and Data Structure Visualizations
(2011-06-08)
Although there are many algorithm visualizations today, there is a question as to why algorithm and data structure visualization technology has not proved its effectiveness and gained widespread acceptance in mainstream ...
Enhancing Flash Lifetime in Secondary Storage
(2011-08-04)
This research addresses the limited usable life of NAND flash-based storage systems. Unlike a magnetic disk drive, a NAND flash suffers from limited number of write cycles ranging from 10-100K depending on the specific ...

An Intelligent and Interactive Simulation and Tutoring Environment for Exploring and Learning Simple Machines
(2011-12-01)
Students in middle school science classes have difficulty mastering physics concepts such as energy and work, taught in the context of simple machines. Moreover, students' naive conceptions of physics often remain unchanged ...
A Universally Usable and Anonymous Approach to Voter Write-Ins Using Multimodal Interaction and Prediction Techniques
(2011-11-30)
The primary objective of the research in this dissertation is to develop a system in which any person, regardless of ability or disability, can efficiently, anonymously, and independently write-in a candidate’s name during ...
Informed Prefetching in Distributed Multi-Level Storage Systems
(2011-12-08)
In this dissertation, we present pipelined prefetching mechanisms that use application-disclosed access patterns to prefetch hinted blocks in multi-level storage systems. The fundamental concept in our approach is to split ...
Culture Based Computing For Adult Learners (C-CAL)
(2011-04-28)
This dissertation presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the novel Cultural based Computing for Adult Learners (C-CAL) system, a self-directed online learning application utilizing culture to support adult ...
