An empirical approach to automated performance management for elastic n-tier applications in computing clouds
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-03)
Achieving a high degree of efficiency is non-trivial when managing the performance of large web-facing applications such as e-commerce websites and social networks. While computing clouds have been touted as a good solution ...
Parallel algorithms for direct blood flow simulations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-02-21)
Fluid mechanics of blood can be well approximated by a mixture model of a Newtonian fluid and deformable particles representing the red blood cells. Experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that the deformation and ...
Spatial and social diffusion of information and influence: models and algorithms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-05-17)
With the ubiquity of broadband, wireless and mobile networking and the diversity of user-driven social networks and social channels, we are entering an information age where people and vehicles are connected at all times, ...
Effective and scalable botnet detection in network traffic
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-07-03)
Botnets represent one of the most serious threats against Internet security since they serve as platforms that are responsible for the vast majority of large-scale and coordinated cyber attacks, such as distributed denial ...
Student conceptions about the field of computer science
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-11-07)
Computer Science is a complex field, and even experts do not always agree how the field should be defined. Though a moderate amount is known about how precollege students think about the field of CS, less is known about ...
Dynamic program analysis algorithms to assist parallelization
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-24)
All market-leading processor vendors have started to pursue multicore processors as an alternative to high-frequency single-core processors for better energy and power efficiency. This transition to multicore processors ...
Social media at the boundaries: supporting parents in managing youth's social media use
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-09)
This dissertation investigates ways of supporting parents in managing youth's social media use. I present empirical evidence of the challenges parents face in managing youth technology use. I then translate these results ...
Dynamic monitoring, modeling and management of performance and resources for applications in cloud
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-11-06)
Emerging trends in Cloud computing bring numerous benefits, such as higher performance, fast and flexible provisioning of applications and capacities, lower infrastructure costs, and
almost unlimited scalability. However, ...
Feminist HCI for real: designing technology in support of a social movement
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-20)
How are technologies are designed and used tactically by activists? As the HCI community starts to contend with social inequalities, there has been debate about how HCI researchers should address approach this type of ...
Informed storage management for mobile platforms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-22)
Storage devices are rapidly changing, and we need to adapt the OS storage software stack to keep up with the changes.
Such a re-evaluation of the storage software stack is especially required for mobile platforms because ...
