Creating Creativity for Everyone: User Interfaces for Supporting Innovation
(1999)
A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity.This ambitious goal can be attained by building on an adequate understand-ing ...
Supporting Creativity with Advanced Information-Abundant User Interfaces
(1999)
A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity. This ambitious goal can be attained if designers build on an adequate ...
3D Wavelet-Based Video Codec with Human Perceptual Model
(1999)
This thesis explores the use of a human perceptual model in video compression, channel coding, error concealment and subjective image quality measurement. <p>The perceptual distortion model just-noticeable-distortion (JND) ...
REU Report: Process Integration with Wafer Yield: An Exercise in Computer-Based Modules
(1999)
This report explains the development of the new Wafer Yield simulation.It shows the user the various effects of numerous factors in manufacturingon total yield, the algorithms behind it, an explanation of the OLE systemthat ...
Fixture-Based Design Similarity Measures for Variant Fixture Planning
(1999)
One of the important activities in process planning is the design of fixtures to position, locate and secure the workpiece during operations such as machining, assembly and inspection. The proposed approach for variant ...
Resource Allocation for Ka-Band Broadband Satellite Systems
(1999)
Forthcoming high data rate geostationary satellite systems, which are planned to work in rain affected Ka-band, would need effective resource management from a network management perspective. In this thesis we have looked ...
Using Interactive Visualizations of WWW Log Data to Characterize Access Patterns and Inform Site Design
(1999)
HTTP server log files provide Web site operators with substantial detail regarding the visitors to their sites. Interest ininterpreting this data has spawned an active market for software packages that summarize and analyze ...
Using POMDP as Modeling Framework for Network Fault Management
(1999)
For highדּpeed networks, it is important that fault management be proactive--i.e., detect, diagnose, and mitigate problems before they result in severe degradation of network performance. Proactive fault manageשּׂent depends ...
REU Report: Development of a Global Information Exchange Database System for the Machinability Evaluation of Dental Ceramics
(1999)
Aesthetic character, high strength, chemical durability, and bio-compatibility make dental ceramics ideal ingredients for fabricatingdental restoratives. However, the inherent brittleness of ceramics poses a challenge to ...
Robust Spectro-Temporal Reverse Correlation for the Auditory System: Optimizing Stimulus Design
(1999)
The spectro-temporal receptive field (STRF) is a functionaldescriptor of the linear processing of time-varying acoustic spectra by theauditory system. By cross-correlating sustained neuronal activity with the"dynamic ...
