About

Hello, my name is Travis Reid and I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Old Dominion University and a member of the Web Science and Digital Libraries (WSDL) research group. My current research interest involves the gamification of web archiving and the integration of web archiving and video games.

Current Work

For this project, I have been working on a proof of concept that involves gamification of the web archiving process and integrating video games and web archiving. 

Blog Posts

This blog post describes some of the progress that was made for the Game Walkthroughs and Web Archiving Project. We described how we applied the gaming concept of a speedrun to the web archiving process and we described how we created automated web archiving and gaming livestreams where the web archiving performance of web crawlers from the web archiving livestreams were used to determine the capabilities of the characters inside of the Gun Mayhem 2 More Mayhem (video) and NFL Challenge (video) video games that were played during the gaming livestreams. 

Previous Work

Collection Growth Curve Notebook

When I was working on a blog post about Archives Unleashed Toolkit (AUT) and Hypercane, I created a Colab notebook that can take a web page text derivative from AUT and then create a collection growth curve. A collection growth curve shows when the seeds for an Archive-It collection were added (green line) and when the seed mementos were added (red line). The green line is associated with the seed curation process and the red line is associated with the crawling behavior. 

Video Games Sales vs Review Scores

This project involved creating a visualization that shows the average sales for video games that are given a certain critic score and user score. 

Collaboration Website Project

For this project, I created a collaboration website that is similar to Slack.

Reduced Representations

For this project, I created four applications.  Three of the applications were used to output reduced representations of side chains, helices, and beta sheets. The other application output all of the alpha-carbon atoms found in the  first chain of a protein.
