I am trying to visualize how to create a search for an application that we are building. I would like a suggestion on how to approach 'searching' through large sets of data. For instance, this particular search would be on a 750k record minimum table, of product sku's, sizing, material type, create date, etc; Is anyone aware of a 'plu...
I'm in graduate school and about to start a project related to databases. The professor has provided a list of topics for us to choose from, but we are also free to suggest something else we're personally interested in. The basic format of the project is quite simple: I'll study 2-3 research papers related to the area I end up choosing...
Example: I want to search results only from the research papers or I want to search results only from opensource tools/packages/codes Kindly help me ...
Hi All I need to find some good statistics from reputable sources on the benefits of software developers working in a team. We use Scrum - so anything linked to this in particular would be really beneficial but not essential. I have 5 developers of differing skill levels and I feel that they need to work as a team. However, if my b...
Our development team has been tasked with "creating" (or reusing an existing) GUI application that will display certain objects (be they people, cars, tools, w/e) in a certain field that could range in size between a couple of blocks to an entire city. Generally our users divide the area off into four or more quadrents and assign other ...
Brief (unnecessary) background: I am in a graduate school focused on game development, and we have been given an assignment to work on throughout the next term (I have until the end of summer term). We get to choose the topic we would like to focus on and I figured the SO community would know some interesting topics. Interesting could...
I often find it is difficult to find something that I know the logic sounds familar but cannot recall the name. Using the existing string based search engine just won't get you good result as most of the time the logic is expressed in a totally different way. I understand the generic problem is a unsolvable AI problem. The question ...
A common BibTeX key convention is last name of lead author followed by year (e.g. Knuth1972). Sometimes this choice is problematic: It could lead to key collisions due to authors with same last name or several publications by the same author in one year. It is hard to tell the subject of the publication from its BibTeX key when editing...
Does anyone know any authoritative online sources on computer vision. I am mainly interested in blogs or places where an open discussion is feasible, with a tendency towards academic computer vision research rather than technical resources (like the opencv page etc...). ...
I'm working on a higher-order theorem prover, of which unification seems to be the most difficult subproblem. If Huet's algorithm is still considered state-of-the-art, does anyone have any links to explanations of it that are written to be understood by a programmer rather than a mathematician? Or even any examples of where it works an...
I am doing a research about real time capabilities of non-real time systems. I am particularly interested in the timing constraints of Windows (any version except CE) and Linux (except the real time ones). Especially my research is concentrating on the accuracy of timing on these platforms and requirements of the system to overcome the ...
I come from a multimedia background as opposed to a pure-CS background so I would find a heavy CS-paper about subjects like algorithms hard to review. I'm interested mainly in web technologies, particularly areas like web standards, push technologies (comet, web hooks etc..), social graphing, online data portability. Other topic suggest...
Hello all, I am tasked with creating a research project, experimental or theoretical, for Calc-based Physics. I want to do it on something that will relate to my chosen field (Computer Engineering: Software, with testing focus). I came up with GPU and physics. My long winded idea is, "The effect in-game physics have on the heat of a GP...
What code have you written in c that is not defined by either c89 or c99 standards? Specifically, I am looking for techniques like using pointer manipulation to move within a struct instead of using the member operator. This works fine on most compilers, but the compiler is free to add buffer space between struct members, so will not a...
I really need to think of a good final project (one that I like, and one that doesn't make me look stupid). For the project, I need to find an advisor, I'm supposed to do research, and it's supposed to solve a substantial problem in Computer Science. I asked a few potential advisors for ideas, one said I could do something about data mi...
Does anyone know of a good article, paper, or publication that researches trade-offs between web apps and desktop apps? Specifically, I'd like to see some data on performance and TCO. Other comparison research would be useful too. ...
Does anyone know of a good article, paper, or publication that researches trade-offs between web apps and terminal apps? Specifically, I'd like to see some data on performance and TCO. Other comparison points would be useful as well. ...
Hello all, This lot has proved EXTREMELY helpful in the past so I thought I would pose a question with a more open ended answer. I am going to be starting my M.S. in Graphic Information Technology Thesis and I need a topic. I am a web designer and front-end developer working full time in that industry. My adviser prefers we bit off a pi...
I am soon to be writing a dissertation as part of my degree course, which is based on enhancing an open source product. The main body of the dissertation will be about my research into how to enhance the product, how I implemented it, and how I evaluated it. In it I also want to briefly discuss the factors involved in my work being accep...
I am a Junior CS Major at a Javaschool and I find myself having an easy time and thought there may be some good project or a language to learn or research in this newfound free time. What would you recommend so as to increase my ability to find a good job(somewhere that allows for continuous learning and treats its programmers well)after...
