Improving Access to Information through Conceptual Classification
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Overwhelming the users with large amount of information on the Web has resulted in users' inability to find the information and their dissatisfaction with available information searching and filtering systems. On the other ...
ENFORCING ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL ON A SOCIAL NETWORK
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Social networks supply a means by which people can communicate with each other while allowing for ease in initiating interaction and expressions. These systems of human collaboration may also be used to store and distribute ...
Security Analysis and Framework of Cloud Computing with Parity-Based Partially Distributed File System
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Cloud computing offers massive scalability, immediate availability, and low cost services as major benefits, but as with most new technologies, it introduces new risks and vulnerabilities too. Despite the fact that different ...
UInterestManager : A Generic Framework to Model User Interests
(East Carolina University, 2013)
With the proliferation of documents on the Internet, it has become increasingly difficult for users to search and retrieve the information they want: information that is relevant and interesting. To address this problem, ...
Using Synchronized Audio Mapping to Predict Velar and Pharyngeal Wall Locations during Dynamic MRI Sequences
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Automatic tongue, velum (i.e., soft palate), and pharyngeal movement tracking systems provide a significant benefit for the analysis of dynamic speech movements. Studies have been conducted using ultrasound, x-ray, and ...
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 ...
Synchronizing Automata and the Černý Conjecture
(East Carolina University, 2012)
We provide a survey of research surrounding the Černý conjecture. This conjecture concerns finite-state automata that have the property of being "synchronizing." A synchronizing automaton is one for which there exists ...
Recurrence and Plasticity in Evolved Neural Controllers
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Among the more important applications of evolutionary neurocontrollers is the development of systems that are able to dynamically adapt to a changing environment. While traditional approaches to control system design demand ...
miRCancer : a microRNA-Cancer Association Database and Toolkit Based on Text Mining
(East Carolina University, 2010)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of single-stranded small non-coding RNAs. Study of miRNAs has been a fast growing field since the first miRNA was discovered in 1993. Many findings indicate that miRNA plays an important role ...
A Protocol and Tool for Developing a Descriptive Behavioral Model
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Fuzzy rules have been used to model complex human behavior in order to develop sophisticated industrial control systems. The use of fuzzy rules to create a behavioral model provides a quantitative basis for discussing the ...
