    • A Data Mining Approach to Radiation Hybrid Mapping 

      Seetan, Raed (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      The task of mapping markers from Radiation Hybrid (RH) mapping experiments is typically viewed as equivalent to the traveling-salesman problem, which has combinatorial complexity. As an additional problem, experiments ...

    • Adapting Web Page Tables on Mobile Web Browsers: Results from Two Controlled Empirical Studies 

      Annadi, Ramakanth Reddy (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      Displaying web page content in mobile screens is a challenging task and users often face difficulty retrieving the relevant data. It can force them to adopt a time-consuming hunt-and-peck strategy. Application of design ...

    • A New Coupling Metric: Combining Structural and Semantic Relationships 

      Alenezi, Mamdouh Khalaf (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      Maintaining object-oriented software is problematic and expensive. Earlier research has revealed that complex relationships among object-oriented software entities are key reasons that make maintenance costly. Therefore, ...

    • Metrics and Tools to Guide Design of Graphical User Interfaces 

      Alemerien, Khalid Ali (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      User interface design metrics assist developers evaluate interface designs in early phase before delivering the software to end users. This dissertation presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the ...

    • Addressing Off-Nominal Behaviors in Requirements for Embedded Systems 

      Aceituna, Daniel (North Dakota State University, 2015)
      System requirements are typically specified on the assumption that the system's operating environment will behave in what is considered to be an expected and nominal manner. When gathering requirements, one concern is ...

    • An Artificial Immune System Heuristic in a Smart Electrical Grid 

      Chowdhury, Md. Minhaz (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      The immune system of the human body follows a process that is adaptive and learns via experience. Some algorithms are designed to take advantage of this process to determine solutions for complex problem domains. The ...

    • Heuristic Clustering with Secured Routing in Two Tier Sensor Networks 

      Gagneja, Kanwalinderjit Kaur (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      This study addresses the management of Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSNs) in an area of interest. The use of sensors in our day-to-day life has increased dramatically, and in ten to fifteen years the sensor nodes may ...

    • Simulating Multi-Agent Decision Making for a Self Healing Smart Grid 

      Bou ghosn, Steve Martin (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Dynamic real-time power systems like the national power grid operate in continuously changing environments such as adverse weather conditions, power line malfunctions, device failures, etc. These disruptions can lead to ...

    • Measurement of Non-Technical Skills of Software Development Teams 

      Bender, Lisa Louise (North Dakota State University, 2014)
