1. Predicting Global Failure Regimes in Complex Information Systems
Published: 6/19/2012
Authors: Christopher E Dabrowski, James J Filliben, Kevin L Mills
Abstract: Over the past five years, we investigated methods to characterize global behavior in large distributed systems and applied those methods to predict effects from deploying alternate distributed control algorithms. The methods we used assess global beh ...

2. Sensitivity Analysis for Biometric Systems: A Methodology Based on Orthogonal Experiment Designs
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 7855
Published: 5/17/2012
Authors: Yooyoung Lee, James J Filliben, Ross J Micheals, P Jonathon Phillips
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce an effective and structured methodology for carrying out a biometric system sensitivity analysis. The goal of sensitivity analysis is to provide the researcher/developer with the insight and understanding of ...

3. A systematic approach to the study of accelerated weathering in building joint sealants
Published: 5/1/2012
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston, Kar Tean Tan, James J Filliben
Abstract: An accurate service life prediction model is urgently needed for building joint sealants to reduce the enormous cost associated with long-term field weathering. A stepping stone to the success of this effort is the precise control of environmental va ...

4. Comparing VM-Placement Algorithms for On-Demand Clouds
Published: 11/29/2011
Authors: Kevin L Mills, James J Filliben, Christopher E Dabrowski
Abstract: Much recent research has been devoted to investigating algorithms for allocating virtual machines (VMs) to physical machines (PMs) in infrastructure clouds. Many such algorithms address distinct problems, such as initial placement, consolidation, or ...

5. Ocular and Iris Recognition Baseline Algorithm
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 7828
Published: 11/7/2011
Authors: Yooyoung Lee, Ross J Micheals, James J Filliben, P Jonathon Phillips, Hassan A. Sahibzada
Abstract: Due to its distinctiveness, the human eye is a popular biometricv feature used to identity a person with high accuracy. The Grand Challenge in biometrics is to have an effective algorithm for subject verification or identification under a broad ...

6. COMPARISON OF TWO DIMENSION-REDUCTION METHODS FOR NETWORK SIMULATION MODELS
Series: Journal of Research (NIST JRES)
Report Number: 116-5
Published: 10/5/2011
Authors: Kevin L Mills, James J Filliben
Abstract: Experimenters characterize the behavior of simulation models for data communications networks by measuring multiple responses under selected parameter combinations. The resulting multivariate data may include redundant responses reflecting aspects of ...

7. Service Life Prediction for Sealants
Published: 9/29/2011
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston, Kar Tean Tan, James J Filliben
Abstract: Previous industry consensus postulated that four elements of the weather: Temperature, Humidity, Ultraviolet Radiation, and Mechanical loading were responsible for the majority of the changes observed in sealants exposed to outdoor weathering. The N ...

8. PREDICTING MACROSCOPIC DYNAMICS IN LARGE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Published: 7/18/2011
Authors: Kevin L Mills, James J Filliben
Abstract: In this paper, we outline an approach that can be used to predict macroscopic dynamics when new components are deployed in a large distributed system. Our approach combines two main methods: scale reduction and multidimensional data analysis techniqu ...

9. Comparison of segmentation algorithms for fluorescence microscopy images of cells
Published: 6/14/2011
Authors: Alden A Dima, John T Elliott, James J Filliben, Michael W Halter, Adele P Peskin, Javier Bernal, Marcin Kociolek, Mary C Brady, Hai C. Tang, Anne L Plant
Abstract: Segmentation results from nine different segmentation techniques applied to two different cell lines and five different sets of imaging conditions were compared. Significant variability in the results of segmentation was observed that was due solely ...

10. Robust Iris Recognition Baseline for the Grand Challenge
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 7777
Published: 5/17/2011
Authors: Yooyoung Lee, Ross J Micheals, James J Filliben, P Jonathon Phillips
Abstract: Due to its distinctiveness, the human iris is a popular biometric feature used to identity a person with high accuracy. The “Grand Challenge” in iris recognition is to have an effective algorithm for subject verification or identification under a bro ...
