Reusing code by reasoning about its purpose
When programmers face unfamiliar or challenging tasks, code written by others could give them inspiration or reusable pieces. But how can they find code appropriate for their goals? This thesis describes a programming interface, called Zones, that connects code with descriptions of purpose, …

Life after mega-events : strategically reusing legacy parks
A great deal of research has scrutinized the mixed legacy of staging "mega-events" such as World's Fairs (or Expos) and Olympic Games. Host cities regularly invest billions of dollars building the facilities and supporting infrastructure needed to accommodate millions of visitors over a fixed …

Reusing and Updating Preconditioners for Sequences of Matrices
… This research examines the benefits of both reusing and recycling preconditioners, with special focus on ILUTP and factorized sparse approximate inverses and proposes an update that we refer to as a sparse approximate map or SAM update. Analysis of the residual and eigenvalues of the map will …

A design tool for reusing integration knowledge in simulation models
… task were substantially reduced as a result of reusing integration knowledge in the simulation models.

Method for Reusing and Re-engineering Non-ontological Resources for Building Ontologies
… to speed up the ontology development process by reusing and re-engineering as much as possible available non-ontological resources. To achieve this overall goal, we have decomposed it in the following objectives: (1) the definition of methodological aspects related with the reuse of …

Reusing the Orange Line : explorations of building associatively within an urban grid
City grid organizations are a contextual reality. Given a dominant, all encompassing urban grid context, such as the South End area of Boston, Massachusetts and the opportunity for a small single-block sized intervention within, how does one deal with it? To what extent can the built environment, …

Reusing a robot's behavioral mechanisms to model and manipulate human mental states
… employs a self-as-simulator strategy, reusing the robot's behavioral mechanisms to model aspects of the human's mental states. This reuse allows the robot to model human actions and the mental states behind them using the grammar of its own representations and actions.

Reusing software tests for configuration testing: A case study of the Hadoop project
… on analyzing feasibility and effectiveness of reusing existing source code tests to test configuration values. Through building a semi-automated infrastructure associating unit tests with configuration parameters, and later run the associated tests against injected correct and incorrect …

Measurement of the effects of reusing C++ classes on object-oriented software development
… The first characterizes the effects of reusing C++ classes on object-oriented software development using nine development process indicators. The second experiment uses ten similar process indicators to differentiate the effects of writing C++ classes from scratch versus reusing them …

A new life for hotels : adaptively reusing limited service hospitality properties as workforce housing
This thesis examines the potential for reinventing an existing asset class -- limited service hospitality properties -- as new workforce housing properties. Due to the cyclical demand profile, modest price points, and relatively fragmented ownership of limited service hotels in the United States, …

Practical techniques for rapid and reliable real-time adaptive filtering
… address these issues. First, a new class of data-reusing LMS algorithms is explored. These algorithms are seen, through extensive simulation examples, to have superior convergence rate and Mean-Squared Error performance over the Data-Reusing LMS algorithm at the same computational cost. A …

Motion capture data processing, retrieval and recognition.
… progress. Therefore, efficiently and effectively reusing MoCap data can brings significant benefits, which has motivated wider research in terms of machine learning based MoCap data processing. A typical work flow of MoCap data reusing can be divided into 3 stages: data capture, data management …

Color reclamation for heap memory coloring scheme in PIPE tagged-memory architecture
… did not include a scheme for reclaiming and reusing allocated color tags, thus resulting in issues including color wrap-arounds. This thesis proposes a scheme for reclaiming and reusing color tags within the PIPE tagged-memory architecture. The proposed scheme is then evaluated on a …

Stock-constrained optimization of partially disassembled trusses
… waste. This thesis shows a novel way of reusing structural components through partial disassembly of trusses into triangular components. A computational approach for quickly designing trusses with both new and recycled components is presented. The algorithm aggregates components row by …

Automated acquisition and refinement of reusable software design components
The importance of reusing software components in new software developments has long been recognized. A reason for the current low level of software reuse stems from the difficulties of obtaining appropriate components for populating a reuse library.

Increasing the level of reuse of complete process models in a process modelling repository
… considered the system dynamics arising from not reusing process models. Therefore, the motivation for this study was to increase the level of reuse of process models in a repository. To answer the research questions, a pragmatic research paradigm was adopted. Using a DSR strategy, a new modeling …
