A revolution underground: a history and analysis of the management of archaeological resources at Minute Men National Historical Park, Concord, Massachusetts 1959-2000
(Boston University, 2000)This report documents and examines the history of archaeological management at Minute Man National Historical Park from 1959 to the present. It presents a description of the over 156 archaeological projects that have taken ... -
Ergodicity and Mixing Rate of One-Dimensional Cellular Automata
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 1997)One-and two-dimensional cellular automata which are known to be fault-tolerant are very complex. On the other hand, only very simple cellular automata have actually been proven to lack fault-tolerance, i.e., to be mixing. ... -
The Sensor Network Workbench: Towards Functional Specification, Verification and Deployment of Constrained Distributed Systems
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009)As the commoditization of sensing, actuation and communication hardware increases, so does the potential for dynamically tasked sense and respond networked systems (i.e., Sensor Networks or SNs) to replace existing disjoint ... -
Overlay Network Creation and Maintenance with Selfish Users
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009)Overlay networks have been used for adding and enhancing functionality to the end-users without requiring modifications in the Internet core mechanisms. Overlay networks have been used for a variety of popular applications ... -
Specialized Mappings Architecture with Applications to Vision-based Estimation of Articulated Body Pose
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2002)A fundamental task of vision systems is to infer the state of the world given some form of visual observations. From a computational perspective, this often involves facing an ill-posed problem; e.g., information is lost ... -
Service Provisioning in Mobile Networks Through Distributed Coordinated Resource Management
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2008)The pervasiveness of personal computing platforms offers an unprecedented opportunity to deploy large-scale services that are distributed over wide physical spaces. Two major challenges face the deployment of such services: ... -
Constraint-based Mining of Frequent Arrangements of Temporal Intervals
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2006-12-30)The problem of discovering frequent arrangements of temporal intervals is studied. It is assumed that the database consists of sequences of events, where an event occurs during a time-interval. The goal is to mine temporal ... -
TCP over CDMA2000 Networks: A Cross-Layer Measurement Study
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2007)Modern cellular channels in 3G networks incorporate sophisticated power control and dynamic rate adaptation which can have a significant impact on adaptive transport layer protocols, such as TCP. Though there exists studies ... -
Using Markets and Spam to Combat Malware
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-05-11)We propose an economic mechanism to reduce the incidence of malware that delivers spam. Earlier research proposed attention markets as a solution for unwanted messages, and showed they could provide more net benefit than ... -
System F with Constraint Types
(Boston University Computer Science Department, 2007)System F is a type system that can be seen as both a proof system for second-order propositional logic and as a polymorphic programming language. In this work we explore several extensions of System F by types which express ...
