Show moreAnalyzing free-form natural language expressions “in the network”—that is, on programmable switches and smart NICs—would enable packet-handling decisions that are based on the textual content of flows. This analysis would support richer, latency-critical data services that depend on language analysis—such as emergency response, misinformation classification, customer support, and query-answering applications. But packet forwarding and processing decisions usually rely on simple analyses based on table look-ups that are keyed on well-defined (and usually fixed size) header fields. P4 is the state of the art domain-specific language for programming network equipment, but, to the best of our knowledge, analyzing free-form text using P4 has not yet been investigated. Although there is an increasing variety of P4-programmable commodity network hardware available, using P4 presents considerable technical challenges for text analysis since the language lacks loops and fractional datatypes. This paper presents the first Bayesian spam classifier written in P4 and evaluates it using a standard dataset. The paper contributes techniques for the tokenization, analysis, and classification of free-form text using P4, and investigates trade-offs between classification accuracy and resource usage. It shows how classification accuracy can be tuned between 69.1% and 90.4%, and how resource usage can be reduced to 6% by trading-off accuracy. It uses the spam filtering use-case to motivate the need for more research into in network text analysis to enable future “semantic analysis” applications in programmable networks.

Title: INFORMATION QUALITY: RESTRUCTURING THE MODERN ACADEMIC LIBRARY FOR RESEARCH ACCURACY

Show moreInformation overload causes problems in accessing information and is becoming more prevalent as technology allows us to store greater amounts of information, and as researchers produce ever more specialized knowledge. This thesis will begin with a discussion of this overload followed by an examination of statistics gathered at Illinois Institute of Technology (which support the trend of increased interlibrary loan transactions and the rise in information availability). Following a review of the literature in library and information science, psychology, and linguistics, this thesis will discuss some of the solutions to this problem. First, access may be improved by transforming the storage of information from traditional print resources to electronic. Considering the restrictions of the present vendor supplied print resources, the limitations due to present copyright law, and cost comparisons between print and electronic subscriptions, we find a distinct advantage to future electronic access. This access can be improved through the use of electronic journals, full-text/image databases, and virtual libraries. Second, the searching capabilities of information systems can be improved in order to narrow information into more accurate search results. This can be done by advanced indexing, adding value, relevance and ranking, citation analysis to direct the patron towards improved search results, and by taking advantage of hypertext capabilities in order to ease navigation through information systems.

Show moreDeploying educational computer games for children in schools requires understanding of usability. Usability of computer hardware as well as the game user interaction is a major concern of this research. The aim of this thesis is to compare the usability of mice and touchpads, as well as test graphics tablets, with third and fifth grade students. Each of these technologies' usability is measured using drag and drop, point and click, and click-only interaction by measuring time to complete tasks and error rate. For this purpose, 142 students participated in a quantitative usability test conducted in five Chicago-area elementary schools. Students played a custom-designed computer game asking them to solve mathematical problems appropriate for their level of education. The main purpose of the game was to create a realistic workload for users. The game tracked students' interactions by recording on-screen cursor movements. Statistical analysis of variance (a = 0.01) of usability showed no significant difference using point and click compared to drag and drop. There was no significant difference between using mice and touchpads. However, because students had no prior experience using graphics tablets, tablet use could not be learned within ten minutes. Finally, usability was found to increase with students' age. Further, when the movements were analyzed for patterns, statistical analysis revealed that workload had a significant influence on usability. Two patterns emerged: hovering with the cursor to find answers on screen, and evading screen areas where accidental dropping of an item could result in an incorrect answer. Although students employing these patterns require more time than reported in previous research, workload had never been considered as a significant factor before. In conclusion, schools can deploy either desktop computers commonly using mice or notebook computers commonly using touchpads because usability does not differ significantly. Workload is the important factor on usability, and thus when developing and usability testing specific games, the users' workload has to be observed. In addition, game designers should consider supporting both drag and drop and point and click. Finally, when testing games, children should be exactly the age of the target audience for accurate results.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to identify if there existed a need for database education in technical communication programs. This was achieved using a two part approach: Jobs data was collected from three major search engines and the results plotted showing a roughly 20% requirement for techcomm positions to have some database knowledge and skill. Then the data was further striated by which techcomm positions were expected to have which skills. The jobs data was also supported by the database skills taught in computer science education, and that of information technology. Next, twelve graduate programs were analyzed for their database educational requirements to show that the need for database skills was not being met in techcomm graduate programs. Finally course content was proposed for five new database courses: OS and Networking Basics, Introduction to Databases, Database Design, and Using Databases. A single course outline is proposed for programs wishing to implement the material more easily.
