Adaptive Regression Testing Strategy: An Empirical Study
(North Dakota State University, 2012)When software systems evolve, different amounts of code modifications can be involved in different versions. These factors can affect the costs and benefits of regression testing techniques, and thus, there may be no single ... -
Alexa for Health Practitioners
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Many industries, including healthcare, are trying to take advantage of voice assistant systems by incorporating their technology into the industries’ environment. However, not many companies or researchers have successfully ... -
Alexa, What Should I Eat? A Personalized Virtual Nutrition Coach for Native American Diabetes Patients Using Amazon's Smart Speaker Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Among all other ethnic groups in the USA, native American’s have higher chances of developing diabetes. A lot of tools have been developed to address this issue and help them in managing diabetes. However, these tools fail ... -
Analysis of Java's Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures in GitHub's Open-Source Projects
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Java developers rely on code reusability because of its time and effort reduction advantage. However, they are exposed to vulnerabilities in publicly available open-source software (OSS) projects. This study employed a ... -
Analysis of SDR to Detect Long Range RFID Badge Cloners
(North Dakota State University, 2022)This thesis proposes a way of detecting when radio frequency identification (RFID) badge credentials are being captured through the use of software defined radio (SDR). A method for using SDR to detect when badge cloning ... -
Anonymity and Hostile Node Identification in Wireless Sensor Networks
(North Dakota State University, 2010)In many secure wireless network attack scenarios, the source of a data packet is as sensitive as the data it contains. Existing work to provide source anonymity in wireless sensor networks (WSN) are not frugal in terms ... -
Application of Memory-Based Collaborative Filtering to Predict Fantasy Points of NFL Quarterbacks
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Subjective expert projections have been traditionally used to predict points in fantasy football, while machine prediction applications are limited. Memory-based collaborative filtering has been widely used in recommender ... -
An Architecture for the Implementation and Distribution of Multiuser Virtual Environments.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)JavaMOO is an architecture for creating multiuser virtual environments focusing on domain-specific design and rapid development. JavaMOO components use best practices and extensible design for system configuration, ... -
An Artificial Immune System Heuristic in a Smart Electrical Grid
(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 ... -
Association Rule Mining of Biological Field Data Sets
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Association rule mining is an important data mining technique, yet, its use in association analysis of biological data sets has been limited. This mining technique was applied on two biological data sets, a genome and a ... -
Athletic Fundraising and University Development Offices: A Structurational Relationship
(North Dakota State University, 2010)This case study examines the working relationship between an athletic department and a central development office within a university. This study focuses primarily on the coordination of fundraising efforts between the ... -
Attacking the Messenger: Exploring the Security of Big Data Messenger Apache Kafka
(North Dakota State University, 2021)As technology becomes faster, cheaper, and more compact, a higher volume of data must be processed. This demand drives the need to process high volumes of data in near real time. As a result, technologies such as Kafka ... -
Augmented Reality and Cross-Device Interaction for Seamless Integration of Physical and Digital Scientific Papers
(North Dakota State University, 2024)Researchers face the challenge of efficiently navigating vast scientific literature while valuing printed papers in the digital age. Printed materials facilitate deeper engagement and comprehension, leading to superior ... -
An Automated Approach for Discovering Functional Risk-Inducing Flaws in Software Designs
(North Dakota State University, 2015)For safety critical applications, it is necessary to ensure that risk-inducing flaws do not exist in the final product. To date, many risk-based testing techniques were proposed. The majority of these techniques address ... -
Blood Glucose Prediction Models for Personalized Diabetes Management
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Effective blood glucose (BG) control is essential for patients with diabetes. This calls for an immediate need to closely keep track of patients' BG level all the time. However, sometimes individual patients may not be ... -
Building Plant 3D Genome Computing Resources
