AlienG2 - An Automated Analysis Tool for Genome-scale Prediction of Horizontal Gene Transfer
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This thesis will present a method for predicting Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events through the creation of a web-based application called AlienG2. HGT is the process of genetic exchange between distantly related ...
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 ...
Self-Checked Metamorphic Testing of Monte Carlo Simulation
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Photon propagation in biological tissues can be modeled with Monte Carlo simulations numerically. However, testing a such program is difficult due to the unknown character of the test oracles. Although approaches based on ...
Migrating Legacy Software Applications to Cloud Computing Environments : A Software Architect's Approach
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Cloud computing has garnered a great deal of interest in the past few years. The availability of on-demand computational power is presumed to provide substantial IT infrastructure cost-savings, partially through the ...
Modeling and Testing of Aspect-Oriented Systems
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Aspect-Oriented programming modularizes crosscutting concerns into Aspects, which are automatically weaved to the specified points of a program. Although Aspect-Oriented programming improves program maintainability and the ...
Overhauling Legacy Enterprise Software Applications with a Concept Refinement Process Model
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Currently, there are many legacy enterprise software applications in active deployment that are outdated. These large legacy applications are rapidly becoming less practical for both the organizations they service, and for ...
Using n-grams to identify time periods of cultural influence
(East Carolina University, 2012)
An author's literary style is influenced by the cultural time period in which the author lives. The author's ideas, and the words chosen to express them, can help identify the cultural time period that most influenced the ...
Cloud Platform for Research Crowdsourcing in Mobile Testing
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Mobile application testing and testing over a cloud are two highly topical fields nowadays. Mobile testing presents specific test activities, including verification of an application against a variety of heterogeneous ...
