Experience

Visual Hierarchical Task Analysis

Coia Corrado (2006), Wilson Ryan (2008). Visual Hierarchical Task Analysis (VisualHTA), a business grade application

Project Overview: An HTA is a hierarchical listing of tasks/steps that are needed to complete a goal. This information can be used for many purposes, such as improving the design of procedures that aid in performing a task. These procedures can be either physical or procedures within software. HTAs can be shown either visually though the use of a tree structure, or textually though the use of a numbered lists. Each approach accomplishes the same goal.

Evolved Fractal Images

Coia Corrado, McHugh Michael and Deinhart Michael (2006). Evolved Fractal Images through an Iterated Function System

Project Overview: Many learning systems have used supervised learning to tackle this problem. Our goal is to determine the practicality of a variety of fitness functions and utilize them, if possible, in creating aesthetically pleasing fractal images.

Interactive Granular Synthesis Instrument

Coia Corrado (2008). Gene: an Interactive Granular Synthesis Instrument.

Project Overview: This project involves the design and implementation of Gene– a granular synthesis system. A granular synthesis engine will first be designed, that will specify a number of parameters for interesting granular synthesis effects. Then, interactive evolution will be used as a means for interfacing the engine with a user.
