One of the aspects brought by the use of connected mobile devices in education is the possibility of learning in different environments, using physical environmental factors in its advantage. These factors are part of what we define as “mobile context”, which is comprised by different information dimensions: temporal, physical, and social. This information can be modelled as an ontology and used in...
Software processes, as software products, are variable across projects and thus a one-size-fits-all approach does not work out for development processes. We propose Meduse, an approach for tailoring development processes according to project needs. Such an approach, which is based on software product line and method engineering techniques, takes into account processes similarities (i.e. commonalities)...
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are playing an increasing role in our daily lives and it is changing knowledge delivering. For engineers and related careers, where new trends and technologies are delivery continuously, having professional success depends on being updated with them. By adopting web-based learning so that both, students and professionals may accelerate such achievement...
In the last years, Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems, such as Youtube, have become a very popular way to watch videos. Researches in Multiagent Systems (MAS) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) for VoD have focused on using agents to assist peers to share video segments efficiently, by replicating them or creating the best path between peers to transfer such segments. A key challenge faced by these systems is to efficiently...
Nowadays, computer programming and logical thinking skills have been proposed as a fundamental knowledge, even to young learners. On one hand, in undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) courses, the first contact of students with the logic of programming usually results in high failure rates. The literature and experiments conducted by the authors point out that this occurs...
