Several problems in science and engineering admit algorithmic solutions that demand a large amount of computing time. Among these applications are genotype sequencing, gene sequence comparison, protein folding, quantum ...

Finite field arithmetic plays an important role in a wide range of applications. This research is originally motivated by an application of computational biology where genetic networks are modeled by means of finite fields. ...

The technological community is highly focused in the area of solar energy harvesting. Specifically, these efforts can be observed in the design of more efficient power management systems which can extract the maximum ...

Elliptic curve cryptography is a variant of public key cryptography in which encryption and decryption processes involve operations on an algebraic structure defined on an elliptic curve over a finite field. Elliptic curve ...

Storage systems contain redundant copies of data such as identical files or within sub-file regions. Using deduplication technology, we can take advantage of this re-dundancy and reduce the space needed to store files in ...

Unsupervised unmixing analysis aims to extract the basic materials, the so called endmembers, and their abundances from a hyperspectral image. Unmixing is usually performed by pixels-only techniques that do not take into ...

This dissertation presents a novel approach to the problem of _nding the characteristics of the data sources and query processing sites in a distributed database system. We model the network as a graph with nodes representing ...

The use of networks as computational tools has been fundamental in Com- puter Information Science and Engineering research. As computers have evolved, the demands for faster data transmission have incremented. Protocol ...

The information society needs to process massive volumes of data in automated ways. The data is more meaningful if it is considered as sequences of patterns rather than isolated patterns. A trained human brain has outstanding ...

The Student Led Test Bed (STB) is part of the NSF Engineering Research Center CASA and is currently focused on developing low infrastructure radar networks to fill lower atmosphere gaps not covered by current technology. ...
