چکیده
by Yongqin Gao The Open Source Software (OSS) development movement is a classic example of a social network. It is also a prototype of a complex evolving network. After two years of collecting developer and project information from SourceForge, we have sufficient data to determine the dynamic and structural mechanisms that govern the evolution and topology of this complex system. First, we analyzed the empirical data we received from SourceForge in order to ascertain the statistics of the topological information of the OSS developer social network. By inspecting the network’s evolution over time, we were able to gain knowledge about the appearance of the complex network and characteristics of the system. Secondly, we generated a model to depict the evolution of this network. Finally, using Java/Swarm, we simulated the evolution of the OSS developer network using our model to compare against the real data. In simulation, we used several different models to replicate the empirical data: random network theory, scale-free network, scale-free network with constant fitness and scale-free networks with dynamic fitness. From these simulation iterations, we were able to verify and validate our model for this network and to increase our understanding of the OSS developer collaboration network. Dedicated to my dear parents, Chuanshan Gao and Xiuzheng Wang. From whom I have received enormous support, encouragement, and love.

by Haoshu Wang Face recognition systems generally require location of face landmarks (often eyes) as an essential preprocessing step. Eye location estimates can be assessed in absolute terms (e.g., proximity to known eye location) and also in application-specific terms (e.g., performance of a system that employs the location). This thesis assesses an automatic commercial eye-finding system in b...

Dear Editor, The relationship between the PhD supervisorand the PhD student is a complex one. Whenthis relationship is neither effective nor efficient,it may yield negative consequences, such asacademic failure (1).The intricacy of the supervisor-studentrelationship may be in part comparable to the onebetween the physician and his/her patient [see,for example (2)]. Both interactions develop ove...

by Guangyue Han Recently there has been considerable interest in wireless communication systems using multiple antennas. Theoretical analysis shows that such systems can provide spacial and temporal diversity gain if appropriate signal sets are employed. This dissertation analyzes and designs suitable signal constellations for such systems. Diversity product and diversity sum will be derived as...
