Visual Depiction of Decision Statements: What is Best for Programmers and Non-programmers
(1997-03-01)This paper reports the results of two experiments investigating differences in comprehensibility of textual and graphical notations for representing decision statements. The first experiment was a replication of a prior ... -
The Development of the New Feeder System: Applying the System Development Life Cycle Methodology
(1997-07-01)My graduate project proposal is the development of the new Feeder system. The new Feeder system is comprised of five individual feeders, which are the Hourly Payroll, Salary Payroll, Stores, Job Labor and Accounts Payable ... -
Compressed Bit-sliced Signature Files An Index Structure for Large Lexicons
(1999-04-01)We use the signature file method to search for partially specified terms in large lexicons. To optimize efficiency, we use the concepts of the partially evaluated bit-sliced signature file method and memory resident data ... -
A Probabilistic Solution Generator of Good Enough Designs for Simulation
(1999-12-01)We build a probabilistic solution generator using the learning automata theory, which can generate a small set of "good enough" designs with a predetermined high probability. The main goal of our work is to reduce a large ... -
Evaluating Market Conditions: A simplified Approach for Analyzing Stock Price Activity
(2003-05-01)To simplify the process of determining which actions an investor should take, all application that provides a list of trade to be placed each morning was designed. Because the application gives signals on the long and the ... -
Interface-based Programming Assignments and Automatic Grading of Java Programs
(2006-01-01)AutoGrader is a framework developed at Miami University for the automatic grading of student programming assignments written in the Java programming language. AutoGrader leverages the abstract concept of interfaces, brought ... -
Designing a Publish-Substrate for Privacy/Security in Pervasive Environments
(2006-04-01)The emergence of a multitude of technologies for tracking locations is leading to the design of pervasive location-tracking environments. In order to explore issues in the design of such environments, the University of ... -
Using the Inverted Classroom to teach Software Engineering
(2007-01-01)An inverted classroom is a teaching environment that mixes the use of technology with hands-on activities. In an inverted classroom, typical in-class lecture time is replaced with laboratory and in-class activities. Outside ... -
Periodic orbits in systems with backlash: Stability, classification & observability
(2007-01-01)Backlash, clearance or dead zone is a common feature of many mechanical systems and can undermine the performance of the system, since it has a large influence on the dynamics and control of systems. It can be caused by ... -
Degree-constrained Minimum Latency Trees are APX-Hard
(2008-03-25)When transmitting data from a single source to many recipients, it is often desirable to use some recipients of the stream to re-broadcast the stream to other users. In such multicast systems each client may be used as a ...
