Mapreduce-Enabled Scalable Nature-Inspired Approaches for Clustering
(North Dakota State University, 2014)The increasing volume of data to be analyzed imposes new challenges to the data mining methodologies. Traditional data mining such as clustering methods do not scale well with larger data sizes and are computationally ... -
Harnessing User Generated Multimedia Content in the Creation of Collaborative Classification Structures and Retrieval Learning Games
(North Dakota State University, 2015)This paper describes a software tool to assist groups of people in the classification and identification of real world objects called the Classification, Identification, and Retrieval-based Collaborative Learning Environment ... -
Automated Framework to Improve User’s Awareness and to Categorize Friends on Online Social Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The popularity of online social networks has brought up new privacy threats. These threats often arise after users willingly, but unwittingly reveal their information to a wider group of people than they actually intended. ... -
Computational Methods for Predicting Protein-Nucleic Acids Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Since the inception of various proteomic projects, protein structures with unknown functions have been discovered at a fast speed. The proteins regulate many important biological processes by interacting with nucleic acids ... -
Tracking Vehicles from Mobile Phone Received Signal Strength Sequences
(North Dakota State University, 2015)We address the problem of tracking vehicles from received signal strength (RSS) sequences generated by mobile phones carried in them. Our main objectives are to provide travel-time estimates for selected roads and provide ... -
Addressing Off-Nominal Behaviors in Requirements for Embedded Systems
(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 ... -
Fuzzy Reasoning Based Evolutionary Algorithms Applied to Data Mining
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Data mining and information retrieval are two difficult tasks for various reasons. First, as the volume of data increases tremendously, most of the data are complex, large, imprecise, uncertain or incomplete. Furthermore, ... -
Mining Significant Patterns by Integrating Biological Interaction Networks with Gene Profiles
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Nowadays, large amounts of high-throughput data are available. Automatic with classical cell biology techniques which are employed in the analysis of cell functions, interactions, and how pathogens can exploit them in ... -
Usability Construct for Mobile Applications: A Clustering based Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The growth of mobile applications that run on cell phones and other handheld devices has introduced a broad range of usability challenges that were not faced by the web and standalone PC environments. The current usability ... -
Domain Ontology Based Detection Approach to Identify Effect Types of Security Requirements upon Functional Requirements
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Requirements engineering is a subfield of software engineering that is concerned with analyzing software requirements specifications. An important process of requirement engineering is tracing requirements to investigate ... -
Knowledge Discovery and Management within Service Centers
(North Dakota State University, 2016)These days, most enterprise service centers deploy Knowledge Discovery and Management (KDM) systems to address the challenge of timely delivery of a resourceful service request resolution while efficiently utilizing the ... -
Foundational Algorithms Underlying Horizontal Processing of Vertically Structured Big Data Using pTrees
(North Dakota State University, 2016)For Big Data, the time taken to process a data mining algorithm is a critical issue. Many reliable algorithms are unusable in the big data environment due to the fact that the processing takes an unacceptable amount of ... -
Systematic Approaches to Improve Test Case Prioritization Using Requirements and Risks
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The use of system requirements and their risks enables software testers to identify more important test cases that can reveal faults associated with risky components. Having identified important test cases, software testers ... -
Understanding Contextual Factors in Regression Testing Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The software regression testing techniques of test case reduction, selection, and prioritization are widely used and well-researched in software development. They allow for more efficient utilization of scarce testing ... -
Towards Better Engineering of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2016)In spite of their high implementation failure rate, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software remains a popular choice for most businesses. When it succeeds, ERP software provides effective integration of formerly isolated ... -
Adaptive Differential Evolution and its Application to Machine Vision
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Over recent years, Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) have emerged as a practical approach for solving hard optimization problems ubiquitously presented in real life. The inherent advantage of EA over other types of numerical ... -
Analyses of People’s Perceptions Toward Risks in Genetically Modified Organisms
