Q. How did your education and early career lead to your initial and continuing interest in the control field? Paulo: During my undergraduate studies, the subjects I enjoyed the most were always those that were mathematically more demanding. This narrowed down the choice of topics I wanted to pursue in my "licenciatura" thesis. I was fortunate to work on the control of the first Portuguese...
In the paper are analyzed articles that are indexed on Web of Science with the main topic of the conference “Communication and Information Technologies” (CIT). The articles were chosen the most cited ones. The first step of analysis summarizes statistics of the articles and the second step was oriented to detailed analysis using the software Tovek Tools. The contextual analysis was depicted in the...
Prior work showed that in 2001 and 2003, workers in America who used spreadsheets or databases, and who did programming, earned 9 to 13% more than similar workers who did not use spreadsheets nor did programming. Such a fact, if still true, could help motivate workers to do programming and/or to create spreadsheets. This paper presents a study replicating these analyses using 2012 data. The results...
Despite the popularity of MOOCs in providing opportunities for socialization, collaboration, and professional improvement, there has been little research exploring them in the context of Software Engineering Education (SEE). The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of practices and challenges when developing academic software engineering MOOCs. To this end, we research (i) how...
This paper examines the impact of departmental policy changes on the trend in DFW proportions for Calculus II at a large research university. Calculus I and II have been shown to be barrier courses for STEM majors, so increasing student success in these courses is imperative to retaining more students in STEM fields. A study was conducted to investigate how the DFW proportions for Calculus II changed...
Teaching programming using Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is gaining popularity due to their scalability and efficiency of knowledge distribution. However, participating in these courses usually means fully committing to the supplied programming environment in the browser. While this allows a consistent and controllable setup, learners do not gain experience with actual development tools, such...
This paper proposed a workshop to introduce the use of computational tools and methods to analyze educational data. The workshop will demonstrate three different contexts in which these tools can be used to visualize and characterize patterns within educational data, and validate them using statistical techniques. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to learn how to implement these...
Almost all college and university courses have integrated disciplines for the teaching of programming in their curricula. The importance of knowing “how to program” has contributed towards increasing private and public initiatives for the teaching of programming in different countries. Many of such initiatives include changes in the curriculum of primary and high schools, replacing disciplines by...
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are signature-based software tools that provide mechanisms for detection and analysis of network intrusions. Using an experimental scenario and real traffic collected at a higher education institution in Brazil, we evaluate the performance of Snort and Suricata IDSs for detection of current Distributed Denial-of-Services attack (Slowloris). Our study has found the...
The inclusion of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in education is something that has been working from different initiatives worldwide. Concern is on how these resources can enhance the teaching-learning process. Video games are an alternative, given that they present an opportunity to work on different themes in a motivating way. Children and young people can access the different contents...
This article addresses the use of Network Analysis Software to diagram arguments in Informal Logic classes. It is shown as an innovative possibility that goes beyond the classic work with pencil and paper and even the work with specific software dedicated to diagramming. In particular, diagrams made in pencil and paper and diagrams elaborated with Araucaria software are compared through the construction...
Crowdsourcing (CS) is a development model in which small activities are carried out through the collaboration of participants. Many organizations are developing their products through CS to parallel activities, reduce costs, and employ specialists. These factors have boosted the area of informatics, creating a new paradigm for the development of software. However, despite the widespread application...
Several web-based signal processing simulation packages for education have been developed in a Java environment. Although this environment has provided convenience and accessibility using standard browser technology, it has recently become vulnerable to cyber-attacks and is no longer compatible with secure browsers. In this paper, we describe our efforts to transform our award-winning J-DSP online...
Several studies suggest that the teaching of software testing should begin as early as possible, since introductory programming courses. In this way, the teaching of both subjects, programming and testing, becomes an integrated teaching approach. Testing practices in this context can provide a timely feedback to students while they are still working on programming assignments and, as a result, increase...
The purpose of this article is to study the dynamic reconfiguration in FPAA and, because of its potential, its academic applications. State driven and algorithmic reconfiguration methods have been considered during this work. Since these devices are not as well-known as FPGA, it is interesting to study its characteristics and abilities. The algorithmic method has been developed, obtaining conclusions...
The aim of this paper is to provide evidence that practical Agile applicability into higher education has become a research trend and the means under which it is addressed. A Systematic Mapping Study (SM) has been conducted on 3 research databases. 176 studies (2000–2017) have been selected according to the research protocol and mapped into several distributions. 67% of the selected studies have been...
One of the challenges in being a teacher is to set up an educational setting where the students receive relevant learning opportunities for the specific course, the students' education in general, and for their future. However, efforts to create such educational settings do not always work in the way that faculty has intended. In this paper we investigate one such effort seen from a critical incident...
Computer Science students usually carry practical activities for the identification of software requirements and for understanding the organization business rules. Within this context, during the last two years we have conducted a project with software industry and Computer Science students, using comic strips to support the software requirements specification. We created a method of scenario simulation...
The dearth of females in computing continues to be of considerable concern worldwide. Much of the previous research in the area concludes that young females hold negative attitudes and experiences toward computing and consequently choose not to study or work in the area. Many initiatives have been put in place in recent years to attempt to address the gender divide. In light of these activities this...
There have been some social constructivist learning approaches used in computing sciences (CS) education, but none of them has actually validated the student reflection process, which is a critical component of the action learning associated with them. The step of reflection within the social constructivist pedagogy has a crucial role in building the learner's mental model and in refining the existing...
