    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • A Distributed Power Market for the Smart Grid 

      McCulloch, Ryan James (North Dakota State University, 2012)
      To address the challenges of resource allocation in the Smart Electrical Grid a new power market is proposed. A distributed and autonomous contract net based market system in which participants, represented by the agents, ...

    • An Investigation of Integration and Performance Issues Related to the Use of Extended Page Sizes in Computationally Intensive Applications 

      Piehl, Matthew James (North Dakota State University, 2012)
      The combination of increasing fabrication density and corresponding decrease in price has resulted in the ability of commodity platforms to support large memory capacities. Processor designers have introduced support for ...

    • Evaluating the Gap Between the Skills and Abilities of Senior Undergraduate Computer Science Students and the Expectations of Industry 

      Radermacher, Alex (North Dakota State University, 2012)
      A large emphasis is placed on improving student education. Every year researchers propose new teaching methods and suggest improvements to existing methods. However, recent computer science and software engineering graduates ...

    • Investigation of the Effect of the Number of Inspectors on the Software Defect Estimates 

      Saxena, Kaustubh (North Dakota State University, 2012)
      Capture-recapture models help software managers by providing post-inspection defect estimate remaining in a software artifact to determine if a re-inspection in necessary. These estimates are calculated using the number ...

    • 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, ...

    • Adaptive Regression Testing Strategy: An Empirical Study 

      Arafeen, Md. Junaid (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 ...

    • Efficient Publish/Subscribe System over Mobile Ad-Hoc Network 

      Liu, Chao (North Dakota State University, 2012)
      Information dissemination is an important issue for mobile ad-hoc communities. This issue is very challenging due to the dynamic and fragile nature of the mobile ad-hoc networks, in which participants have limited computing ...

    • Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining on Twitter with GMO Keyword 

      Li, Hanzhe (North Dakota State University, 2016)
      Twitter are a new source of information for data mining techniques. Messages posted through Twitter provide a major information source to gauge public sentiment on topics ranging from politics to fashion trends. The purpose ...

    • 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 ...
