Formal Model To Reduce the Risk Of Cloud Outages
(East Carolina University, 2014)Cloud outages have become very common in recent years as many companies adopt hosted services. One of the major reasons for cloud outages is the service level for availability, reliability, security not being met as mentioned ... -
Group Mutual Exclusion in Linear Time and Space
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Group Mutual Exclusion (GME) problem, introduced by Joung, is a natural extension of the classical Mutual Exclusion problem. In the classical Mutual Exclusion problem, two or more processes are not simultaneously allowed ... -
Gesture Prediction Model for the Guitar Fingering Problem
(East Carolina University, 2014)In this thesis we provide a method for finding the fingering of a music piece on any type of guitar using a hand model. Adapting to the real world conditions by deploying a model of the user's hand, and considering the ... -
miRDiabetes : A microRNA-Diabetes Association Database Constructed With Data Mining on Literature
(East Carolina University, 2014)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by translational repression. A role for miRNA in diabetes was first established in 2004 and research in miRNA-diabetes association has ... -

(East Carolina University, 2014)In this thesis we introduce a generic security framework for public clouds called Treasure Island Security framework that is designed to address the issues related to cloud computing security and specifically key-management ... -
Exploring the Usability Issues Encountered by Individuals with Visual Impairments on Social Networking Sites: Problem Description, System Evaluation and Semantic Web Solution
(East Carolina University, 2014-08-28)While social networking sites (SNSs) like Facebook are widely used and have been broadly studied, investigations of their use by individuals with visual impairments are scarce within the academic literature. Anecdotal ... -
GestDefLS : A Gesture Definition Language in Swift
(East Carolina University, 2015)The application programming interfaces supplied by Apple for developing applications in the Swift programming language on iOS devices provide limited support when it comes to declaring gesture recognizers outside of those ... -
Runtime Monitoring On Hard Real-Time Operating Systems
(East Carolina University, 2015)This thesis will compare and evaluate different approaches in integrating runtime monitors into processes running on a hard real-time operating system. The host system is a single board computer (SBC) with a VxWorks 653 ... -
A Constraint-Based Method For Flow-Sensitive Static Type Analysis Of PHP Using The Rascal Meta-Programming Platform
(East Carolina University, 2015)PHP is a dynamically typed language, and is very popular among developers for building websites. The dynamic features of PHP allow for many kinds of type related errors to be made by developers. Since PHP does not feature ... -
Using The Morphological Analysis Perspective (MAP) In Software Engineering Project Management
(East Carolina University, 2015)Corporations require well defined strategies and successful implementation of strategic solutions in order to survive, facilitate growth, and remain competitive. In the current internet enabled economy, software development ... -
MRSL: AUTONOMOUS NEURAL NETWORK-BASED SELF-STABILIZING SYSTEM
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)Stabilizing and localizing the positioning systems autonomously in the areas without GPS accessibility is a difficult task. In this thesis we describe a methodology called Most Reliable Straight Line (MRSL) for stabilizing ... -
