A comparative analysis of legacy migration solutions, 2008
Item — Call number MU Thesis ORe
Identifier: b2090066
Abstract
Despite the introduction of many advanced programming languages and the escalating cost of developing programs in COBOL, development of COBOL source code continues throughout the business community. Eventually, the cost of maintaining this code will be prohibitive. Migrating software systems from COBOL based implementations to modern programming implementations will be necessary. The migration of legacy systems involves some risk which can be mitigated by selection of the appropriate...

A layered software development framework, 2002
Item — Call number MU Thesis Woo
Identifier: b2159566
Abstract
This thesis started from the observation that there is a need among the existing software process models to adapt to the size and scope of the product being developed. Therefore, the thesis proposes the Layered Software Development Framework, which is a software development framework that recasts classical software development models in light of the architectural levels described in Helm's Scalability Model. It describes the development of software as a set of specific development...

Addressing the limitations of the KQML agent communication language, 2000
Item — Call number MU Thesis Min
Identifier: b2087785
Abstract
This thesis investigates the ways in which KQML can further meet the communication requirements of software agents.
From desktops to distant networds, software agents are becoming more prevalent in a variety of applications. Unlike many conventional programs, software agents can collaborate with other software agents to attain a certain goal. Therefore, a suitable language and protocol is needed for software agents to communicate in order to facilite such collaboration. Such a...

Computational analysis of stochastic epidemic model, 2005
Item — Call number MU Thesis Agn
Identifier: b2088720
Abstract
Every time there is an epidemic outbreak in some part of the world, billions of dollars are being set aside in anticipation of it spreading to the rest of the world. Various government and non government agencies mobilize resources to prevent and control the expansion of the epidemic by curbing ingress and egress of people from infected location, by launching vaccinations programs and quarantining the suspected. In order to achieve success in their efforts, they need to know what is the...

Deep learning : real-time American Sign Language recognition and speech, 2018
Item — Call number MU Thesis Alj
Identifier: b7817592
Abstract
This thesis addresses the issue of recognizing the hand signs of American Sign Language utilizing deep learning artificial intelligence techniques. The recognition rates of sample data was measured after sample data was prepared in one of three ways: normalizing the image, coverting to binary black and white, and color with background removed. Of the three, this thesis showed that recognition is best with color and background removed.

Extended habitats and data access, 2004
Item — Call number MU Thesis Wie
Identifier: b2087786
Abstract
Today, in contrast to the perception of being connected with the electronic world around them, people aren't really as connected as they could be and should be. What if there was not only the concept of a smart house, but a smart habitat, providing individuals with full connectivity access throughout their full range of movement? What if people had access to multiple devices, software applications and data in their habitat from a number of readily accessible, existing user interfaces?...

Face recognition in practice : real-time face extraction and normalization from raw data, 2018
Item — Call number MU Thesis Al-Ka
Identifier: b7717372
Abstract
Automated Face Recognition's (AFR) popularity as a technology has been on a constant rise for the past few decades with new applications and usecases popping up every few years. A recent example of a possible application of this technology can be seen in Apple's Face ID and it's [sic] use of face recognition as a form of user identification. Due to the popularity of AFR there have been many research efforts to perfect the algorithms that make it possible....

Parallelized mathematical modeling of two-phase flow in NaCl-H₂0 system : multiprocessor benchmarking, 2017
Item — Call number MU Thesis Flo
Identifier: b7668718
Abstract
FISHES, otherwise known as Fully Implicit Hydrothermal Event Simulator, simulates two-phase fluid flow in a porous matrix saturated with NaCl-H₂0. We discuss the addition of MUMPS, Multifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver, to FISHES. MUMPS is a tool that offers solutions to large linear systems that present complex arithmetic to achieve parallel factorization. We address the use of MPI (Message Passing Interface) and its implmentation with MUMPS to offer a parallel computing...

Resource management in distributed systems, 2003
Item — Call number MU Thesis Ari
Identifier: b2125204
Overview
The goal of managing data access in a distributed system is to maintain a consistent view of the data from all areas of the system. Different areas of the system need to make decisions based on what the data looks like to them. If different areas see the data differently, functionality will be affected. For example, if one subsystem in a core switching product sees a certain equipment as entered into the system database, but another subsystem does not, a command will be denied rendering...

Software development model for multimedia projects, 2000
Item — Call number MU Thesis Mon[k]
Identifier: b2088046
Abstract
Current software development models adequately handle most software development efforts. However, when multimedia components are introduced, current software development models fall short. Examine the shortcomings and suggest improvements to current software development models.
