While not included at some institutions and relegated to 3 (minimum) hours of core coverage by the ACM / IEEE Computer Society model curriculum, project management is becoming an integral component of computer science education. The prevalence of failed software projects dictates a focus on this discipline which provides the tools and processes relevant to effective performance of software creation,...
The oil and gas industry has an increased interest reducing their handling costs through process optimization. The low crude oil price and the sobering forecast for future price development are pushing companies working in this area to reduce costs. Hence, agile software methods are increasingly of interest in this business area. They have evolved from a trend towards a preferred approach which is...
Outpatient practice forms an integral part of medical care for patients needing care who are not admitted into the hospital, but receive the needed care and are discharged the same day which also largely includes primary care service. The growing demand for primary care physicians added by the complexity in managing outpatient practice effectively demands an optimized practice management system to...
This paper describes the design and implementation of an End-to-End digital wireless communication system (E2E) system on the Zynq-7000 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Evaluation Development (Zed) Board with an Analog Devices AD9364 Wideband Transceiver from a model-based design system. Furthermore, the paper presents the design path to reconfigure the software controlled logic blocks for...
Data security has become an increasingly important topic as information stored and transmitted in electronic form has become the preferred method. In order to protect this information, developers need to follow, at minimum, some basic guidelines to secure this data from malicious attackers. However, security often takes a backseat while developing software and is either not implemented at all or is...
This paper will discuss an embedded system for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The system designed is a working proof of concept prototype made for an SHM system using Piezoelectronic transducers as the sensors. The system uses pulse-echo and pitch-catch techniques to find the location of damage and the width of the damage. If damage is present, the system will generate an email and send to the...
The reliability of the treadmill belt speed using a feedback-controlled treadmill algorithm was analyzed in this study. Using biomechanical factors of the participant's walking behavior, an estimated walking speed was calculated and used to adjust the speed of the treadmill. Our proposed algorithm expands on the current hypotheses of feedback-controlled treadmill algorithms and is presented below...
