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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
An architecture for network path selection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-19)
Traditional routing protocols select paths based on static link weights and converge to new paths only when there is an outright reachability failure (such as a link or router failure). This design allows routing scale to ...
Learning an integrated hybrid image retrieval system
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-06)
Current Web image search engines, such as Google or Bing Images, adopt a hybrid search approach in which a text-based query (e.g.
"apple") is used to retrieve a set of relevant images, which are then refined by the user ...
Design and evaluation of a health-focused personal informatics application with support for generalized goal management
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-04)
The practice of health self-management offers behavioral and problem-solving strategies that can effectively promote responsibility for one's own wellbeing, improve one's health outcomes, and decrease the cost of health ...
Glitch game testers: the design and study of a learning environment for computational production with young African American males
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-03-30)
The implementation of a learning environment for young African American males, called the Glitch Game Testers, was launched in 2009. The development of this program was based on formative work that looked at the contrasting ...
Supporting remote synchronous communication between parents and young children
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-04)
Parents and children increasingly spend time living apart due to marital separation and work travel. I investigated parent--child separation in both of these contexts to find that current technologies frequently do not ...
Monitoring-as-a-service in the cloud
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-03)
State monitoring is a fundamental building block for Cloud services.
The demand for providing state monitoring as services (MaaS) continues to grow and is evidenced by CloudWatch from Amazon EC2, which allows cloud consumers ...
Facilitating the authoring of multimedia social problem solving skills instructional modules
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-02)
Difficulties in social skills are generally considered defining characteristics of High-Functioning Autism (HFA). These difficulties interfere with the educational experiences and quality of life of individuals with HFA, ...
