On Utilization of Contributory Storage in Desktop Grids
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2007), TR-07-16
The availability of desktop grids and shared computing platforms has popularized the use of contributory resources, such as desktops, as computing substrates for a variety of applications. However, addressing the exponentially ...
Integration of VT ETD-db with Banner
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2008), TR-08-04
The Electronic Thesis and Dissertation database (ETD-db) was developed at Virginia Tech by Digital Library and Archives for the VT Graduate School and the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). The ...
Science of Digital Libraries(SciDL)
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2003), TR-03-13
Our purpose is to ensure that people and institutions better manage information through digital libraries (DLs). Thus we address a fundamental human and social need, which is particularly urgent in the modern Information ...
Incremental, Semi-automatic, Mapping-Based Integration of Heterogeneous Collections into Archaeological Digital Libraries: Megiddo Case Study
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2005), TR-05-06
Automation is an important issue when integrating heterogeneous collections into archaeological digital libraries. We propose an incremental approach through intermediary- and mapping-based techniques. A visual schema ...
Structural Design using Cellular Automata
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2001), TR-01-02
Traditional parallel methods for structural design do not scale well. This paper discusses the application of massively scalable cellular automata (CA) techniques to structural design. There are two sets of CA rules, one ...
A Case Study of Using Domain Analysis for the Conflation Algorithms Domain
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2007), TR-07-32
This paper documents the domain engineering process for much of the conflation algorithms domain. Empirical data on the process and products of domain engineering were collected. Six conflation algorithms of four different ...
A Critique of Design Approaches for Notification Systems
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004), TR-04-29
The Fall 2004 Virginia Tech Undergraduate Research in Computer Science (VTURCS) class, taught by Dr. McCrickard, covered the following topics: problem, activity and information/interaction phases of design; scenario based ...
Variability of User Interaction with Multi-Platform News Feeds
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004), TR-04-22
The development of the World Wide Web (WWW) and proliferation of web enabled devices have allowed various news agencies to enrich their traditional method of distribution of news through TV, radio and print with simultaneous ...
Search Tool Implementation for Historical Archive
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004), TR-04-09
Dr. Linda Arnold's archival project "Mexican-American War and the Media" is an underutilized resource. Providing contrasting primary sources on the War, it is the only archive of its kind. In order to make the archive's ...
Theory of Globally Convergent Probability-one Homotopies for Non-linear Programming
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2000), TR-00-04
For many years globally convergent probability-one homotopy methods have been remarkably successful on difficult realistic engineering optimization problems,most of which were attacked by homotopy methods because other ...
