Bootle Rumble: Gamifying Rehabilitation Exercise for Youth with Cerebral Palsy
Youth with cerebral palsy (CP) may be prescribed rehabilitation exercises by physiotherapists in order to improve or maintain motor function as they grow into adolescence. However, in the field of physiotherapeutic medicine, ... -
BitDrones OS A Programmable Matter System
This work presents the BitDrones System, a platform for developing interactive 3D tangible user interface applications. This system is a first step towards interactive self-levitating programmable matter. Although there ... -
New Algorithms for 3D Registration Using Raw Point Techniques
Registration of two 3D point clouds is a problem encountered in many domains in 3D computer vision. A correct correspondence between the overlapping portions of the point clouds can be used to generate a transform that ... -
Build Automation And Optimization for Models of Embedded Real-time Systems
Model Driven Development (MDD) enables users to construct complex systems by leveraging models, often in some graphical notation, and pre-built application components. With MDD, users create a model using a language such ... -
Transforming the Attitudinal Impact of Text
Authors of persuasive documents strive to influence the attitudes of their readers in such a manner that they are encouraged to respond in a desired way. For instance, companies produce advertisements with the goal of ... -
Extending Papyrus-RT to Facilitate Model-Driven Development of Rover Software
Model-Driven Development is based on the principle that the code can be automatically generated from software models that capture the high-level implementation of the system. This process of software development can save ... -
State Complexity of Neighbourhoods and Approximate Pattern Matching
(World Scientific, 2018-02)The neighbourhood of a language L with respect to an additive distance consists of all strings that have distance at most the given radius from some string of L. We show that the worst case deterministic state complexity ... -
Growth Rate of Minimum Branching
(Institut fur Informatik, Justus-Liebig Universitat Giessen, 2018-03-14)There are different ways of quantifying the nondeterminism used by a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). The amount of nondeterminism is measured as a function of the input length. For most ... -
Context-Aware and Real-time Entrustment Framework for Securing Next Generation Internet Communications
The Internet has been repeatedly demonstrated to be insufficiently secure for transferring sensitive information worldwide. This insecurity is an inherent characteristic as the Internet did not make any security considerations ... -
An Empirical Study of Android API Use in Google and Non-Google Applications
Android is the most popular mobile platform powering hundreds of millions of mobile devices. Android provides an API that helps developers create Android applications by simplifying the reuse of core system components and ... -
Securing Web Applications with Secure Coding Practices and Integrity Verification
The concept of security in web applications is not new. However, it is often ignored in the development stages of the web applications. Being multitiered and spread across different domains, it is challenging to come up ... -
Dynamic Observation in Discrete-Event Systems
This dissertation studies problems of dynamic observation in discrete-event systems. In discrete-event systems, agents exist that observe events generated by a system. The agents have some task to fulfill that requires ... -
The Role of Agency in the Design and Play of Exercise Video Games
A major problem in public health is low participation in physical activity. Games incorporating physical activity, exergames, have potential to combat this issue because they are engaging. A primary quality that makes games ... -
A Heuristic-based Dynamic Spectrum Sharing Framework in Cognitive Radio Networks
The inefficient use of the limited spectrum resources caused by the widely used static spectrum assignment policy has inspired the conception of the cognitive radio network (CRN). A CRN enables mobile users to optimally ... -
Android App Protection through Anti-tampering and Anti-debugging Techniques
Android devices remain an attractive mobile malware target in recent years. Android applications (or simply apps) in the device are vulnerable to different attacks which can tamper with the execution of an app to change app ... -
Towards A Security Framework for Smartphone Operating Systems
Smartphones have become an integral part of our daily lives that offer a multitude of features in a small form factor. Users store sensitive personal information on their phones and perform financial transactions. Moreover, ... -
Playing with Persiflage: How Free-Form Dialogue Enables Emergent Narratives in Orchestrated Digital Games
Digital games struggle to blend compelling narrative with interactivity. For example, computer role-playing games allow players the freedom to explore an open world, yet limit their interaction with the world’s inhabitants ... -
Lightbee: Design and Implementation of a Self-Levitating Light Field Display for Telepresence
Communication between humans is not limited to the spoken word. We use a number of non-verbal cues such as facial expression, eye contact, body orientation and movement, among others. Research on display technology has ... -
Revisiting the Experimental Design Choices for Approaches for the Automated Retrieval of Duplicate Issue Reports
Issue tracking systems, such as Bugzilla, are commonly used to track reported bugs and change requests. Duplicate reports have been considered as a hindrance to developers and a drain on their resources. To avoid wasting ... -
