This paper presents a novel methodology for instruction set customization of RISPs (Reconfigurable Instruction Set Processors) using morphable structures. A morphable structure consists of a group of hardware operators chained together to implement a restricted set of custom instructions. These structures are implemented on the reconfigurable fabric, and the operators are enabled/disabled on de...

Title of Dissertation: EVENT-CODE INTERACTION DIRECTED TEST CASES Ishan Banerjee, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Atif M. Memon, Department of Computer Science The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is an integral component of contemporary computer software. A stable and reliable GUI is necessary for correct functioning of software applications. Comprehensive verifica...

primary and widely in use computed tomography (ct) dose descriptor is a volumetric ct dose index (ctdiv) that is usually measured by a pencil ionization chamber with active length of 100mm and polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) phantom. ctdiv depends on scan parameters such as mas, kv, collimation, tube rotation time but is independent of patient’s size and shape. for the purpose of a good estimati...

Oracles used for testing graphical user interface (GUI) programs are required to take into consideration complicating factors such as variations in screen resolution or color scheme when comparing observed GUI elements to expected GUI elements. Researchers proposed fuzzy comparison rules and computationally expensive image processing techniques to tame the comparison process since otherwise the...

This poster describes a visualisation technique for communicating the effects of implicit feedback decisions using a familiar interface component, the scrollbar. The results of a pilot evaluation show the technique is unobtrusive and encourages focused interaction.

When considering professionals sports leagues, the common topic of discussion is usually about individual players or favorite hometown teams. Sports enthusiasts are the first to rattle off a laundry list of statistics about teams and players, but do they realize they are openly discussing that player’s efficiency in terms of labor? Although it is a popular form of entertainment there is a marke...

Iztmo is a conceptual project of an electronic percussion instrument that works under a network environment to establish communication among multiple users. A new language is then created, based on rhythm, and enriched by each person’s cultural background with the main purpose of being in harmony. Iztmo emits up to five sounds, divided in different ways of interaction: the user can strike it, r...

This paper attempts to suggest some conceptual preliminaries to a definition of behavior. I begin by distinguishing some different senses of the notion, with emphasis upon that of behavior as the occurrence of an organism's action or reaction. Subsequently, I provide a brief survey of different types of definition, and try to pick out those among them that can in principle be suitable for the n...
