While Machine Learning is one of the most popular research areas in Computer Science right now, there are still only a few applications meant to be used by the general public. We propose to develop an exemplary application that can be directly applied to eBay trading. We would like to build a system that predicts how much an item would sell

Searching for lost people in a Wilderness Search and Rescue (WiSAR) scenario is a task that can benefit from large numbers of agents, some of whom may be robotic. These agents may have differing levels of autonomy, determined by the set of tasks they are performing. In addition, the level of autonomy that results in the best performance may change due to varying workload or other factors.

With the proliferation of mobile applications and the abundance of wireless devices, it is increasingly common for devices to support multiple radios. When two devices are communicating they should choose the best available radio based on user preference and application requirements. This type of “radio switching” should happen automatically, so that the system optimizes performance dynamically.

The ever-increasing density of computer storage devices has allowed the average user to store enormous quantities of multimedia content, and a large amount of this content is usually music. Current search techniques for musical content rely on meta-data tags which describe artist, album, year, genre, etc. Query-by-content systems, however,

Researchers use multiple sequence alignment algorithms to detect conserved regions in genetic sequences and to identify drug docking sites for drug development. In this dissertation, a novel algorithm is presented for using physicochemical properties to increase the accuracy of multiple sequence alignments. Secondary structures are also incorporated in the evaluation function. Additionally, the location of the secondary structures is assimilated into the function.

Programming languages are the mechanisms that software developers use to communicate their mental models of software both to computers and to other software developers. Peter Naur, one of the early pioneers of programming language theory, has claimed that the term 'programming language' is misleading and that programming languages are not, in fact, languages. We disagree. We propose to show that programming language is language by applying tools developed by corpus linguists for the study of natural language to programming language.
