Higher educational institutions face major challenges including timely graduation and retention of enrolled students. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that the six-year graduation rate for ...

We are now a machine-mediated society, with virtually every transaction and decisionmediated, analyzed, and even recommended by algorithms running in the background. An increasing percentage of our interactions and societal ...

Recent advances in robotics engineering and material science accelerate the development of self-folding machines, the robots that can fold themselves from flat materials to functional 3D shapes. However, designing such ...

Most research discussing malware detection completely dismisses signatures as being a thing of the past, accusing signatures of suffering from a weak ability to detect zero-day malware. This indeed could be the case if we ...

The ever-growing complexity of software systems coupled with the need to maintain their quality of service (QoS) characteristics, even under adverse conditions and highly uncertain environments, have instigated the emergence ...

Existing approaches to cyber defense such as access control have been inadequate at defending the targets from ever increasing exfiltration of intellectual property. Cyber deception is one of many solutions that can protect ...

Detection and bearing estimation in shallow water is difficult due to multipath. As array aperture increases, angular resolution increases and observation of multipath becomes more likely. The SWellEx-96 experiment ...

The construction industry has consistently held one of the highest injury rates among all sectors and failure to recognize hazards due to poor selective attention, cognitive overload, and distractibility have been identified ...

This thesis work proposes a technique based on concept maps, meta-models, and ontologies to develop a theoretical foundation for the use of multiple interacting models in order to determine the valid interaction between ...

Structural, electrical and optical properties of metal oxide and Group V-VI chalcogenide based semiconductor materials and their optoelectronic response were studied when used as UV-Visible-NIR photodetectors. Optimization ...
