    • Addressing the Consensus Problem in Real-time Using Lightweight Middleware on Distributed Devices 
      Hall, Keith Anton (2012-10-19)
      With the advent of the modern technological age, a plethora of electronic tools and devices are available in numbers as never before. While beneficial and ex-ceedingly useful, these electronic devices require users to ...
    • Developing AI Algorithms to Classify Pathologies in Chest X-Ray Images 
      Al-Subaie, Roda; Bouhali, Oumaima; Al-Nasr, Lolwa; Elgazar, Yara
      Radiologists are in charge of detecting and diagnosing diseases by means of x-rays, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs), Computed Tomography (CT) scans, and other medical imaging techniques. Of these imaging techniques, chest ...
    • Effective algorithms and protocols for wireless networking: a topological approach 
      Zhang, Fenghui (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
      Much research has been done on wireless sensor networks. However, most protocols and algorithms for such networks are based on the ideal model Unit Disk Graph (UDG) model or do not assume any model. Furthermore, many ...
    • GraphBLAS: Solving Graph Algorithms with Linear Algebra 
      Maldonado Guzman, Julio Cesar
      GraphBLAS is a C library written by Dr. Davis that allows users to easily represent graphs as sparse matrices. GraphBLAS also allows linear algebra operations on its graphs, so that users can develop graph algorithms in ...
    • Minimizing Low-Rank Quasi-Concave Functions Over Greedy Polytopes 
      Scott, James Riley (2020-07-07)
      We consider the problem of minimizing a function that attains its minimum over a greedy polytope at one of its vertices. This problem class contains many computationally intractable subclasses, so we restrict ourselves to ...
    • Newton Polytopes and Numerical Algebraic Geometry 
      Brysiewicz, Taylor Christian (2020-04-17)
      We develop a collection of numerical algorithms which connect ideas from polyhedral geometry and algebraic geometry. The first algorithm we develop functions as a numerical oracle for the Newton polytope of a hypersurface ...
    • Orienting Deformable Polygonal Parts without Sensors 
      Kristek, Shawn (2012-02-14)
      Parts orienting is an important part of automated manufacturing. Sensorless manipulation has proven to be a useful paradigm in addressing parts orienting, and the manipulation of deformable objects is a growing area of ...
    • Parameterized Approaches for Large-Scale Optimization Problems 
      Buchanan, Austin Loyd (2015-07-10)
      In this dissertation, we study challenging discrete optimization problems from the perspective of parameterized complexity. The usefulness of this type of analysis is twofold. First, it can lead to efficient algorithms for ...
    • Personalized Expert Recommendation: Models and Algorithms 
      Lu, Haokai (2017-12-04)
      Many large-scale information sharing systems including social media systems, questionanswering sites and rating and reviewing applications have been growing rapidly, allowing millions of human participants to generate and ...
    • Photoacoustic computed tomography in biological tissues: algorithms and breast imaging 
      Xu, Minghua (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
      Photoacoustic computed tomography (PAT) has great potential for application in the biomedical field. It best combines the high contrast of electromagnetic absorption and the high resolution of ultrasonic waves in biological ...
    • Radar Nowcasting of Total Lightning over the Kennedy Space Center 
      Seroka, Gregory Nicholas (2011-08-08)
      The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is situated along the east coast of central Florida, where a high frequency of lightning occurs annually. Although cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning forecasting using radar echoes has been ...
    • Re-Reference Interval Prediction Swap Policy in the Linux Kernel 
      Singer, Andrew R
      Modern computing systems are placing ever greater pressure on their memory management systems. The current means of managing the page cache in the Linux kernel is a binary ranking standard through which cached pages are ...
    • Solving the RMTP with an Unknown Bound on Reordering using Bounded Counters 
      Kirchhofer, Grant W
      This research analyzes the reliable message transmission problem, or RMTP, with a different set of constraints than has been previously studied. The RMTP describes the task of simulating a reliable computer communication ...
    • Statistical Robustness Analysis of Random Sampling Consensus Method 
      Weishuhn, Jonathan R
      One of the most vocalized applications of computational interactivity today stem from our biological sense of perception, both in its promise for automation and heeding of its still prevalent weaknesses. Computer vision, ...
    • Zen Routing 
      Lewis, Justin T (2017-04-27)
      Driving induced stress is a problem inherent to contemporary living in urban areas. Traffic congestion, route unpredictability, and other factors cause undue stress to commuters daily. This project’s purpose is to alleviate ...
