The aim of this simulation is to provide visitors to one of the world's most contested places with a rich experience of the ties that bind the Abrahamic religions together by means of mobile augmented reality. What would we gain if people of different backgrounds and beliefs visiting the site could explore and experience this rich history on location directly and simultaneously? And, how may we provide...
ECLOUD WWI (2012) is a custom designed 9-metre by 3.5-metre interactive 3D projection environment and application developed by the Applied Laboratory for Interactive Visualization and Embodiment (ALIVE), City University of Hong Kong in partnership with Europeana's 1914–1918 project. The installation activates over 40,000 images of war memorabilia ascribed to 2,500 individual stories collected (crowdsourced)...
In Greek myth, Niobe was the queen of Thebes who displayed arrogance toward the goddess Leto and was punished by having to endure the death of her seven sons and seven daughters at the hands of Leto's children, Artemis and Apollo. A fourth-century BC group of 16 statues (Niobe, the fourteen children, and a male figure known as the Pedagogue) survives in various Roman copies from various imperial and...

By integrating contemporary media art technology with international authorized historical resources, the exhibition reveals the different aspects of Yuan Ming Yuan to the public. In addition, the exhibition...
Regular Expression (RegEx) matching is the core operation of various network security devices such as IPSes. Despite much effort, it has remained an unsolved problem to achieve both high speed and low memory requirements.XFA, the state-of-the-art software RegEx matching solution, has two fundamental limitations: (1) XFA construction is hard to automate as it requires manual annotation by human experts,...
The present paper reports on the experience of developing a Double Degree Master's program between Russian and Spanish universities (UAB and KNTRU). The inclusion of both Russia and Spain into the Bologna process with the creation of common European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has provided new opportunities for students' mobility. However, the differences in degrees duration, in the number of credits...
State formations buildout is not an ongoing process. One of the most important theoretical constructions was created by Gumilyov, and that is the Passionarity Ethnogeny Theory. What is the correlation of the engineering activities behavior and the socio-political formations buildout? What factors are responsible for the motivation of getting an engineering education? It is possible that the development...
Dialogue of cultures and confessions at Universities of the USA has been examined. Cross-cultural and interconfessional interaction of students training at Universities of the USA has been revealed. Activity of the organizations, established for cross-cultural dialogue among the religious groups on Campuses has been marked.
The importance and presence of graph theory in many different scientific areas has led to the development and use of various software tools, intended to explain graph concepts and graph algorithms. Graphs are also ubiquitous in sparse matrix computations. However, there is currently no educational software addressing the intimate connection between sparse matrix problems and corresponding graph problems...
From its inception in 1999 to its fifteenth anniversary in 2013, the Web Systems Evolution (WSE) series of events have provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work on subjects related to the disciplined evolution of large-scale Web sites and the development and deployment of Web applications. This paper summarizes the central themes of WSE over the years, with a brief...
In the P2P network, trust model can reduce the influence of malicious nodes effectively. Eigen Trust is one of the most authoritative trust model. This model is mainly applied to the P2P file sharing system which is the theoretical basis of many trust model. It was improved in different aspects for enhancing the model's performance. The model use service trust value to indicate node's recommendation...
This paper presents the comparison study of different multiple-choice web-based formative assessment, namely peer driven assessment module of the web-based assessment and test analysis system (PDA-WATA), one of the most recent web-based assessment system, web-based quiz-game-like formative assessment system, named GAM-WATA, and Formative Assessment Module of WATA system FAM-WATA with traditionaly...
Learning analytic techniques are allowing the observation of complex learning activities that were hidden until now. Writing is a task in which behavioral patterns can be observed to measure the level of engagement. Previous studies relied mostly on data collected by observers. In this paper Tracer, a novel learning analytic system to visualize behavioral patterns of students while writing and measuring...
The practice of technical and professional communication is more challenging every year. Technologies expand exponentially; audiences multiply in numbers, methods of access, and diversity; boundaries collapse around islands of information, methods of knowledge transfer, multiple cultural backgrounds, and demands for immediacy of communication. Practitioners sometimes feel they are swimming against...
This short piece provides an introduction to a panel session that will take place at the RE'13 conference. The purpose of the panel will be to explore different possible future directions of the RE conference and its community. This piece outlines the arguments that will be made by each of the panelists to direct the conference and community towards different perspectives — both more academic — and...
Recent years, the practical software engineering education has been carried out in universities and other higher education institutions. In this paper, we propose a software development exercise support system that collects a finer-grained history of students' activities. This system makes it easy to understand the status and progress of students learning by teachers. Then, this system will help support...
Queries against the large size XML database are often exploratory and users often find their queries return too many answers, this paper proposed a user preference-based top-k ranking approach to deal with this “information overload” problem. We first presented a user preference model which can embody both the partial relations and the interest degree of preferences. And then, the elements orders...
We consider one method based on least squares curve fit in this paper. We use the method to forecast the cumulative electricity sale of State Grid Corporation and the method take the function of aided decision. The disposal result of real data tells us that the method has good practicability and veracity to the problem of cumulative electricity sale.
