Privus: Take Back Your Privacy The Effect of a User-Centered Approach on Privacy Management
(2018-04)Rapid innovations in science and engineering have created a greater opportunity for disruptive technologies to be established at a faster rate. Less than a decade ago mobile, phones were a mere tool for communication, ... -
Proactive Approach for the Prevention of DDoS Attacks in Cloud Computing Environments
(2016-12)Contemporary security systems attempt to provide protection against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks; however, they mostly use a variety of computing and hardware resources for load distribution and request ... -
A Recommender System for Improving Program Security Through Source Code Mining and Knowledge Extraction
(2018-07)The security of computer programs and systems is a very critical issue. Threats against computer networks and software are on the rise. Therefore, businesses and IT professionals should take steps to ... -
A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Autonomous Speed Control in Robotic Systems
(2017-05)Model-free reinforcement learning techniques have been successfully used in diverse robotic applications. In this thesis, we Implement the Q-learning algorithm as one of the most used model-free algorithms to find an ... -
Robotic Arm Tracing Curves Recognized by Camera
(2016-12)Applications such like soldering require robot arms to follow the soldering line as present on a surface. We assume here that the surface to be soldered is remote from the robotic arm, that the soldering is performed via ... -
A Self-Organized Approach For Detecting Communities in Networks
(2016-12)The community structure of networks reveals hidden information about the whole network structure that cannot be discerned using other topological properties. Yet, the importance of identifying community structure in ... -
Soteria: A Persuasive eSecurity Assistant
(2016-12)“…security is only as good as the weakest link, and people are the weakest link in the chain.” – B Schneier, 2002 Humans are often referred to as the “weakest link” in the security chain because of the poor security ... -
Standardizing the Requirements Specification of Multi-Agent Systems
(2018-07)Development of multi-agent systems is negatively impacted by the lack of process standardization across the major development phases, such as the requirements analysis phase. This issue creates a key ... -
Studies with Dynamic Nuclear Imaging Image Reconstruction Algorithm
(2016-12)Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a useful method for those non-negative multivariate data. In nuclear imaging, NMF, which is also called factor analysis, is used to analyze the 4D image of positron emission ... -
A Study of Cloud Haskell With Applications to MapReduce
(2018-07)In this thesis, we developed a MapReduce application for performing word count in files. We compared the performance of the implementations done using Control.Parallel - built-in Haskell library for parallel/concurrent ... -
