Traffic accidents have recently become a significant terror for all members of the community, their contribution to the cause of death and huge economic losses have become very large, this is due to the violation of the traffic rules and exceeding the speed limit for the road by the drivers. The main objective of this study is to improve the traffic flow to overcome these problems. The methodology...
This paper describes a design of a TUI (Tangible User Interface) that works as input and output device and has his own API, which allows the write of different applications, presenting results dependent on the users' programs. This device is a platform with pins that move, can change color and are able to read the user's touch, intending to be like a display monitor. Associate library software was...
The Work Elf is defined as an assistant in our desktop. The software completes the data manipulation by the XML file interface in Qt. It also achieves the interactive function by the GUI controls. It combined with UDP protocol to complete the networking function. And it combined with TCP protocol and SMTP protocol to complete the mail sending function. Therefore, this software built its all modules...
A Human Machine Interface (HMI) is software that presents information to a client regarding the state of a process, accept commands and execute the operators control directions. Usually in HMI, information is displayed in lifelike format or graphical user interface. As HMI is the need of hour in automobile industry, new vehicles are designed with more sophisticated safety features and driver vehicle...
In this paper, a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm called Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is applied to offshore crane design. An offshore crane is a pedestal-mounted elevating and rotating lifting device used to transfer materials or personnel to or from marine vessels, barges and structures whereby the load can be moved horizontally in one or more directions and vertically. Designing and building...
GTS is a new service in GÉANT that allows users to set up wide-area virtual networks via a web-based automatic provisioning system. The virtual networks are built within minutes over the underlying physical infrastructure and thus allow the researcher to carry out network experiments with great flexibility and enable rapid prototyping and innovation. The individual network environments are isolated...
Graphical user interface (GUI) is an important feature of current software, and testing for GUI is considered as the most efficient method to guarantee the quality of GUI. It is consensus that in industry and academia automated GUI testing approach and tool have been a great help in reducing time and cost in testing, especially regression testing. However, almost all existing automated GUI testing...
In this paper we present preliminary results of an empirical study, in which we used copy/paste detection (PMD CPD implementation) to search for repeating documentation fragments. The study was performed on 5 open source projects, including Java 8 SDK sources. The study shows that there are many occurrences of copy-pasting documentation fragments in the internal documentation, e.g., copy-pasted method...
Reliance to electrical energy in all sectors of life have raised concerns about supply demand mismatch leading to frequent grid outages for centralized systems. Microgrids are localized power generation units which can be a combination of mostly renewable sources, loads and storage devices. Variable nature of renewable sources, demand for long term and short term storage, depending on the user scenario...
The proposed method developed is used for identifying the food objects on the plate. HSV color model is very efficient of identifying the objects based on its hue value. HSV based color model is used to identify plate from background and food objects on the plate. In proposed method user selects plate and all food items on it. Than the identification process identifies the selected food items on the...
In the last two decades the use of technology in art projects has proliferated, as is the case of the interactive projections based on movement used in artistic performances and installations. However, the artists responsible for creating this work typically have to rely on computer experts to implement this type of interactive systems. The tool herein presented, MotionDesigner, intends to assist...
Collaboration is a huge part of modern software development. Yet most tools used in software development are aimed for single user instances. To support collaborative software practices, researchers and practitioners have presented several tools. The existing tools support collaboration either through distributed version control systems or through client/server-based concurrent text editors. Distributed...
In this paper we describe CyberVAN, a Cyber Security Virtual Assured Network testbed. CyberVAN enables speedy and flexible setup of high-fidelity cyber security scenarios to evaluate the effectiveness of both novel existing cyber technologies. CyberVAN provides many features needed by cyber security researchers, developers and practitioners alike, and can be used for both verification and validation...
Fear of technology, computer illiteracy and linguistic challenges are the prime concern for uplifting the day to day lives of rural mass. This paper describes a unique platform called Gyansetu (meaning Knowledge Bridge) with specialized hardware and software, which simplifies the access of information from internet for the rural mass. The interactive GUI used within the framework is more image-driven...
This paper introduces the individualized interdisciplinary learning resources based on scientific software, that usually serves for solving domain problems (optimization, simulation etc.). Integrating this type of software in learning process is a problem that we are solving by suggesting a new way to describe this software and introduce a framework that helps to form learning resource from it. We...
Smart grid introduces numerous tools and services that did not exist in traditional distribution grids. Software for these new services will have to be developed. This paper shows how it is possible to introduce certain software development methodologies in smart grid application development, especially for the development of user friendly interface. Such development methodologies offer increasing...
In this paper, we present the development of a graphical user interface for a commercially available humanoid robot to study its interaction with children. The interface has been designed to facilitate the overall operation of the robot, and ultimately improve the interaction with children. Four pilot cases are studied to investigate overall effectiveness of the developed robotic setup in interacting...
Plan and take into account the whole picture of the course before it starts, must be a prerequisite for the instructors. At the Tecnológico de Costa Rica, a problem related to course planning has been identified it is the low detail of the courses planing, associated with the relation between the content and the competences, evaluations and learning objectives, there is not a logical flow on the courses...
This paper presents a low-power real-time air quality monitoring system based on the LoRa Wireless Communication technology. The proposed system can be laid out in a large number in the monitoring area to form sensor network. The system integrates a single-chip microcontroller, several air pollution sensors (NO2, SO2, O3, CO, PM1, PM10, PM2.5), LongRange (LoRa) -Modem, a solar PV-battery part and...
EMG pattern recognition has been studied for control of prostheses and rehabilitation systems for decades. Existing research platforms for developing EMG pattern recognition algorithms are typically based on MATLAB and the collection of EMG signals is often done by expensive, non-portable data acquisition systems. The requirement of these resources usually limits the use of these platforms in the...
