Smart Phone Tool Specification

April 23, 2010
Author(s)
Richard Ayers
This paper defines requirements for mobile device applications capable of acquiring data from smart phones operating over a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) network and a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, and test methods used to

Factors that Influence Algorithm Performance

August 11, 2009
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, J. R. Beveridge, Geof H. Givens, Bruce A. Draper
A statistical study is presented quantifying the effects of covariates such as gender, age, expression, image resolution and focus on three face recognition algorithms. Specifically, a Generalized Linear Mixed Effect model is used to relate probability of

InChI a Structure Based IUPAC Identifier for 3-D Structures of AIDS Inhibitors

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
M D. Prasanna, H Rodriguez, J Vondrasek, A Wlodawer, Talapady N. Bhat
The human immunodeficiency virus encodes an aspartic protease which is responsible for posttranslational proteolytic processing of the gag and gag-pol polyprotein gene products into mature functional proteins. Following these proteolytic activities, the

Evaluating Visual Analytics: The 2007 Visual Analytics Science and Technology Symposium Contest

January 14, 2008
Author(s)
Catherine Plaisant, Georges Grinstein, Jean Scholtz, Mark Whiting, Theresa O'Connell, Sharon J. Laskowski, T Chien, A Tat, W Wright, C Gorg, Z Liu, N Parekh, K Singhal, John Stasko
The second Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) contest?s data consisted of a heterogeneous synthetic collection of news articles with additional supporting files and contained a scenario with embedded threats that provided ground truth. Using

Residual stress determination by diffraction: Modeling and applications

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Davor Balzar, N C. Popa
Residual stress plays an important role in shaping Iilaterials properties. We present both the method to determine texture-weighted strain orientation distribution function for arbitrary crystal and sample symmetries and an example of the determination of

Understanding Fire and Smoke Flow Through Modeling and Visualization

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Glenn P. Forney, Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Kevin B. McGrattan, L M. Sheppard
Structural fires cost the American economy more than $100 billion annually in property damage, maintaining fire departments and insurance. A price cannot be put on the human toll: on average each year, 4,000 civilians die and 23,000 are injured in fires

A PDA Security Policy Enforcement Tool

July 9, 2002
Author(s)
Athanasios T. Karygiannis, Wayne Jansen, Serban I. Gavrila, Vlad Korolev
This paper describes a proof-of-concept implementation of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Security Policy Enforcement Tool developed by NIST. This tool can assist enterprise security administrators in setting, updating, monitoring, and enforcing group

An Intelligent World Model for Autonomous Off-Road Driving

November 21, 2001
Author(s)
Tommy Chang, Tsai Hong Hong, Marilyn N. Abrams, Michael O. Shneier
This paper describes a world model designed to act as a bridge between multiple sensory inputs and a behavior generation (path planning) subsystem for off-road autonomous driving. It describes how the world model map is built and how the objects and

Design of a Flexible, Integrated Testing System for STEP and OMG Standards

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
KC Morris, David Flater
New software standards supporting integration of manufacturing and engineering systems are emerging at a rapid pace. These standards are based on common method s, which can be exploited in developing tests for systems supporting the standards. This paper

An Introduction to Evaluating Biometric Systems

February 1, 2000
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Alvin F. Martin, Charles L. Wilson, Mark A. Przybocki
How and where biometric systems are deployed will depend on their performance. Knowing what to ask and how to decipher the answers can help you evaluate the performance of these emerging technologies. On the basis of media hype alone, you might conclude
