    • Mobisurf: Bimanual Inter-Device Interaction 

      Roudaki, Ali (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      A shared interactive display (i.e. tabletop) provides a large space for collaborative interaction. However, it lacks a private area for accessing sensitive information. On the other hand, a mobile device offers a variety ...

    • Chemical Compound Classification Ensemble 

      Zhu, Ya (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      In the research of health science, scientists often need to screen numerous chemical compounds to find drugs that can treat a disease. The process of testing the functionality of these compounds in the laboratory is very ...

    • Smart Grid Optimization Using a Capacitated Transshipment Problem Solver 

      Lampl, Damian (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      A network flow model known as the capacitated transshipment problem, or CTP, can represent key aspects of a smart grid test network with the goal of finding minimum cost electric power flows using multiple different cost ...

    • Noise Removal from Attribute-Groups for Classification 

      Kar, Angshu (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      In this work, we present a novel algorithm that considers attributes from different experimental sources as separate groups for the purpose of classification. We remove noise from each of these groups, combine them, and ...

    • Injecting Safety-Critical Certification Into Agile Software Methods 

      Minot, Scott James (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Agility offers an adaptable and changeable environment within software development. The benefits that agile methods provide for software development are becoming an even greater possibility in safety-critical software ...

    • Vector-Vector Patterns for Agricultural Data 

      Momsen, Eric (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Agriculture is increasingly driven by massive data, and some challenges are not covered by existing statistics, machine learning, or data mining techniques. Many crops are characterized not only by yield but also by quality ...

    • Finding the Most Predictive Data Source in Biological Data 

      Chakraborty, Ushashi (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Classification can be used to predict unknown functions of proteins by using known function information. In some cases, multiple sets of data are available for classification where prediction is only part of the problem, ...

    • Model-based Exploratory Testing: A Controlled Experiment 

      Schaefer, Christopher J. (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Testing methods of software systems have been receiving more and more focus in recent years. Exploratory Testing (ET) is one such testing method. The advantages of ET are generally outweighed by its disadvantages, mainly ...

    • ReviewMiner: An Unsupervised Method of Aspect Extraction and Aspect Rating from Product Reviews 

      Dutta, Anubrata (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      One major piece of information available on the web is reviews about various products that are written by users. Some commercial websites provide additional information about the products along with the reviews. However, ...

    • Efficient Regression Testing for Web Applications Using Reusable Constraint Values 

      Hossain, Md Imamul (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Current web applications offer people easy ways to deploy web sites, and the use of web applications has grown rapidly over the past decades. Companies that provide web applications need frequent regression testing because ...

    • Path Planning under Failures in Wireless Sensor Networks 

      Paturu Raghunatha Rao, Nityananda Suresh (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      This paper explores how an all pair shortest path can be obtained in a wireless sensor network when sensors fail. Sensors are randomly deployed in a predefined geographical area, simulating the deployment of sensors from ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • A Linguistic Model for Improving Sentiment Analysis Systems 

      Hall, Jared Coleman (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      The value of automated sentiment analysis systems is increasing with the vast amount of consumer-generated content, allowing researchers to analyze the information readily available on the World Wide Web. Much research has ...

    • A Restful Architecture for Multiuser Virtual Environments and Simulations 

      Kariluoma, Matti (North Dakota State University, 2014)
      JavaMOO is an architecture for creating multiuser virtual environments using the MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) and MOO (MUD Object Oriented) design patterns (rooms and objects in the rooms, including \exit" objects that lead ...

    • Multi-Variate Attribute Selection for Agricultural Data 

      Xu, Xing John (North Dakota State University, 2015)
