Optimization Modeling for Wireless Sensor Scheduling
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wireless sensor networks, consisting of sensing devices which sense the environment and communicate information among each other, is an emergent field in wireless networking with many potential applications. The efficiency ... -
A Mobile Website Prototype
(North Dakota State University, 2013)More people have started using smart phones, and in the near future, cell phones/smart phones will take the place of computers. I developed a mobile website prototype based on standards, such as keeping it task oriented, ... -
Job Scheduling with Genetic Algorithm
(North Dakota State University, 2013)In this paper, we have used a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for providing a solution to the Job Scheduling Problem (JSP) of placing 5000 jobs on 806 machines. The GA starts off with a randomly generated population of 100 ... -
Optimal Placement of Relay Stations in Wireless Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a collection of nodes organized into a cooperative network with sensing, processing and transmitting capabilities. WSNs are becoming an increasingly prominent technology that can be used ... -
Agent-Based Modeling to Simulate the Movement of a Flock of Birds
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The most beautiful, mysterious movements of bird flocks have always amused the human and led his thinking towards what makes these complex movements possible. This paper discusses the simulation of such bird behavior based ... -
An Unmanned Air Vehicle Simulator in C#
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Simian is an agent based legacy simulator developed in Java used to develop scenarios involving unmanned air vehicles. The goal of this paper is to host the Simian simulator on a C# platform and also to extend the currently ... -
Optimization and Heuristic Facility Location Algorithms for the Smart Grid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)One of the most crucial aspects in maintaining a smart grid Network is to monitor its stability, control and minimize the outages, blackouts etc. which can be achieved by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). Despite having a ... -
Fargo Moorhead Bus Routes Android Application
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Fargo and Moorhead have good public transportation provided by Metro Area Transit bus service. Google Maps Navigation, which provides public transportation routes and directions in several major cities, is not available ... -
Study of Similarity Coefficients Using MapReduce Programming Model
(North Dakota State University, 2013)MapReduce is a programming model for processing and generating large data sets. Users specify a map function that processes a key/value pair to generate a set of intermediate key/value pairs, and a reduce function that ... -
Using Learning Theory in a Hypermedia-Based Petri Net Modeling Tutorial
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The primary aim of this paper is to examine the dominant schools of thought in relation to educational theories and learning styles and in what manner various hypermedia technologies can be integrated into educational ... -
Parallelization of Generic PSO Java Code Using MPJExpress
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Many scientific, engineering and economic problems involve the optimization of a set of parameters. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the new techniques that have been empirically shown to perform well. The ... -
Emergency Social Media Search
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Providing real time information from people involved in an emergency is vital in emergency management. Nowadays, large number of emergency information management resources and also a number of social media search tools ... -
Towards Providing Test Case Meta-Data to Assist Dynamic Regression Test Scheduling
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Autonomic software is typically characterized by dynamic adaptation, a self-management process in which the system adds, removes, and replaces its own components at runtime. At the end of maintenance, the modified software ... -
ISO Analyzer and Reporting System
(North Dakota State University, 2013)This paper describes the development of a GUI-based application program called the ISO Analyzer and Reporting System. The Independent System Operator (ISO) Analyzer and Reporting System facilitates the study of electricity ... -
Document Management System
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The debate of using paper documents over computer documents has been a long topic of interest, there has been a lot of research done on the topic. Also, experiments have been done to evaluate the performance of users working ... -
Capacitated Transshipment Models for Predicting Signaling Pathways
