Due to the controversy regarding use of personal email on nongovernment servers by Hillary Clinton during her time as Secretary of State, her email data was made public. Yet, reading through them is impractical. In this poster, we provide a visual analysis of the content of these emails. Based on the 7945 emails available, we identify the relation between the textual content of the emails with ...

One of the most important decisions researchers face when analyzing software systems is the choice of a proper data analysis/exchange format. In this paper, we present EvoOnt, a set of software ontologies and data exchange format based on OWL. EvoOnt models software design, release history information, and bug-tracking meta-data. Since OWL describes the semantics of the data, EvoOnt is (1) easi...

Simulation is an important tool in planning. Large simulations require a lot of memory and processing time. In many cases the long simulation times reduce the usability of simulation. In this paper, aspects affecting distributed simulation have been studied, including hardware, software and network related issues. Experiments have been carried out with a distributed simulator, Diworse. Simulati...

In this paper, partition testing strategies are assessed analytically. An investigation of what conditions affect the efficacy of partition testing is performed, and comparisons of the fault detection capabilities of partition testing and random testing are made. The effects of subdomain modifications on partition testing’s ability to detect faults are also studied.

The use of high-quality graphics by interactive applications is discussed. A number of graphics systems designed to support interactive graphics applications are described, including three window systems. These systems are analyzed and compared with respect to issues such as redisplay and event handling. 1

The microflora of the oral cavity is one of the most diverse in the human body with greater than 800 bacterial species estimated to exist there. The oral cavity consists of distinct ecological niches (such as the surface of the tongue or the dental plaque) that harbour different bacterial species. Approximately half of oral species can not be cultured and, therefore, molecular approaches will b...

A few ambitious research projects in volve attempts to quantify the qualitative aspects of spontaneous classroom be havior. A research team working with ele mentary teachers in Provo, Utah, (Romney and Hughes, 1958, 1961) believes that patterns of spontaneous teacher action can be identified and that more effective patterns can be distinguished from less effective patterns. The 1958 progress re...

The Informedia team participated in the tasks of high-level feature extraction and event detection in surveillance video. This year, we especially put our focus on analyzing motions in videos. We developed a robust new descriptor called MoSIFT, which explicitly encodes appearance features together with motion information. For the high-level feature detection, we trained multi-modality classifie...

Previous simulation studies have suggested that structural dynamics and protein motion play an important role in enzyme catalysis, but these results are difficult to verify experimentally. R. August Estabrook et al. have developed a predictive approach to guide the direct experimental testing of how enzyme dynamics impact catalysis. Their method highlights specific amino acid pairs likely to be...

The Mind Weave weather model is designed to loosely model real world weather systems while allowing magic to affect parameters of the model. The Mind Weave magic system can effect changes in atmospheric moisture, temperature, and winds. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of this weather model and produce correlation matrices that help us to predict how a spell cast by a mage w...
