Cyntrica Eaton
Cyntrica Eaton is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Norfolk State University.
She is currently
developing a community of contributors and experts who will collectively
synthesize, fortify, and refine a knowledge base that enables detection,
diagnosis, and correction of configuration faults.
She is applying this knowledge
to the domain of
web application development
where end-users have expanded flexibility in web access options and the client
configurations used to explore the web are highly varied. Engaging a community
of users with varied configurations in the process of web configuration fault
detection/correction could significantly improve the feasibility of
comprehensive analysis.
