Automated 3D reconstruction of neuronal structures from serial sections
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A fast automated system for tracing neurons in parallel is described, adequate to support a quantitative analysis of neuron morphology. The system described here automates digitized neuron feature extraction and reconstruction, ...
HydraNet-FT: network support for dependable servors
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis proposes an infrastructure to dynamically replicate services across an internetwork and have them provide a single fault tolerant service access point to clients. For service replication, it relies on previous ...
A heuristic algorithm for graph isomorphism
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
To devise a good algorithm for determining if two graphs are isomorphic, is of considerable practical importance, and is also of great theoretical interest due to its relationship to the concept of NP-completeness. There ...
Merging physical manipulatives and digital interface in educational software
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
During the history of geometry people gradually acquired physical knowledge of space, and later consolidated it in a more abstract form of knowledge, geometry. In this thesis we describe a study performed on fifth grade ...
Understanding the interaction of TCP retransmissions and link layer ARQ mechanisms in a wireless environment
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
TCP, the widely used transport protocol in the Internet, assumes that packet losses are because of congestion. Wireless networks have higher error rates than wired networks; TCP misinterprets the error losses as congestion ...
A structural approach to delay optimization in combinational circuits
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A major problem in circuit design is achieving the maximum performance for a given technology. In the context of logic synthesis and optimization, maximizing performance means reducing the maximum propagation delay from ...
Strategic level expert system design for diamond interchange control
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The selection of control for a diamond interchange is based upon many factors, including the geometry of the interchange, the current traffic patterns, and expected traffic patterns. Each possible control plan for an ...
Dynamic modeling and learning user profile in personalized news agent
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Finding relevant information effectively on the Internet is a challenging task. Although the information is widely available, exploring Web sites and finding information relevant to a user's interest can be a time-consuming ...
VeriQuickhull: fast sequential and parallel algorithms for computing the planar convex hull
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Computing the convex hull of a set of points in the plane is one of the most studied problems in computational geometry. The Quickhull algorithm is a popular convex hull algorithm. While the main structure of Quickhull is ...
Characterizing switching problems in low earth orbit satellite constellations with satellite failures
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In this research, we study the ability of LEO satellite constellations to handle data traffic. LEO satellites offer a number of advantages over traditional space based communications via geosynchronous orbit satellites ...
