Assessment of Multiple Ingest Strategies for Accumulo Key-Value Store

Pham, Hai (2016-05-05)

In recent years, the emergence of heterogeneous data, especially of the unstructured type, has been extremely rapid. The data growth happens concurrently in 3 dimensions: volume (size), velocity (growth rate) and variety ...

Assessment of Multiple MapReduce Strategies for Fast Analytics of Small Files

Zhou, Fang (2015-05-05)

Hadoop, an open-source implementation of MapReduce, is used widely because of its ease of programming, scalability, and availability. Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) and Hadoop MapReduce are two important components ...

Cogent: A Coherence-Driven Cognitive Agent Modeling and Simulation Framework

Sivaraj, Sunit (2018-04-16)

Agent based modeling is an effective methodology for understanding complex cognitive systems through generative mechanisms that explain emergent behavior. However, most agent modeling languages use general-purpose imperative ...

Comparison of Aerial Collision Avoidance Algorithms in a Simulated Environment

Holt, James (2012-02-28)

In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), several control processes must be ac- tive to maintain safe, autonomous flight. When flying multiple UAVs simultaneously, these aircraft must be capable of performing mission ...

Continuous TCP Connection to the Internet on Fast-changing Mobile Ad-hoc Network

Lan, Tianhang (2019-05-01)

As more and more sensors are being used in all industries, especially the Internet of Things, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are also becoming more popular as good ways to organize wireless devices in the same area. Since ...

Cooling Hadoop: Temperature Aware Schedulers in Data Centers

Kulkarni, Sanjay (2013-01-07)

The amount of unstructured data, also known as “Big Data” in Internet is growing every day. Because the Big data is unstructured, a large-scale distributed batch processing infrastructure like Hadoop is used instead of ...

Developing Single page application with best practices

Wilkhu, Sumeet (2017-04-26)

Browsers have been around since early 1990 and have been used for disseminating information using HTML, CSS and Javascript. Initially, Javascript was used as client side scripting language and its use was limited to data ...

Development of an Augmenting Navigational Cognition System

Yang, Ying (2005-12-15)

Social isolation for persons with cognitive impairments due to aging and/or disease is common and widespread. Those people who have diseases such as early Alzheimer’s and dementia tend to forget what they have to do to ...

Effects of Delay Variation of IEEE 802.11 on Synchronization in Ad Hoc Networks

Sitton, Philip (2007-05-15)

The 802.11 MAC protocol, extensively used in wireless networks, handles the problem of collisions over a shared medium in part by avoiding them through the use of a random backoff counter drawn from an exponentially ...

Efficient Storage Design and Query Scheduling for Improving Big Data Retrieval and Analytics

Liu, Zhuo (2015-05-04)

With the perpetually increasing requirement and generation of digital data, the human being has been stepping into the Big Data era. To efficiently manage, retrieve and exploit such gigantic amount of data continuously ...

Energy Modeling and Management of Database System

Zhou, Yi (2018-04-10)

In this dissertation, we propose a toolkit called EDOM facilitating the evaluation and optimization of energy-efficient multicore-based database systems. Two core components in EDOM are a benchmarking toolkit and a ...

Enhancing Host Based Intrusion Detection Systems with Danger Theory of Artificial Immune Systems

Amer, Suhair (2008-05-15)

Rather than discriminating activity by belonging to self or non-self, danger theory extends its discrimination to be between non-self but harmless and self but harmful. The danger theory states that the system does not ...

Evaluation of Reactive Collision Avoidance Algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Jones, David (2015-05-06)

In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), several control processes must be active to maintain safe, autonomous flight. When flying multiple UAVs simultaneously, these aircraft must be capable of performing mission ...

An experimental investigation of semi-automatic generation of concept maps from textbooks

Nayak, Vineet (2019-07-18)

A concept map is a useful tool to organize and structure unstructured data, in this case, the information contained in a textbook. In education, a concept map can be used to set learning goals, monitor progress and visualize ...
