The shift towards multicore processing has led to a much wider population of developers being faced with the challenge of exploiting parallel cores to improve software performance. Debugging and optimizing parallel programs is a complex and demanding task. Tools which support development of parallel programs should provide salient information to allow programmers of multicore systems to diagnose and...
Laboratory work is a well-accepted component of science and engineering programs. One emerging trend has been the increasing utilisation of remotely accessed laboratories, where the students can remotely monitor and/or control physical apparatus, typically across the internet. This supports greater flexibility of access for students as well as the possibility of sharing of facilities between institutions...
Because collaboration plays a key role in today's society, it is beneficial to prepare people at a young age for collaborative work. However, there is no academic or professional consensus on the most effective approach. To remedy this shortcoming, our research will expand on one promising method: the incorporation of collaborative scaffolding into collaborative educational video games. Although there...
In recent years, computer and network attacks have increased tremendously. They turned out to be more sophisticated, complex and evolving in an unpredictable manner. This work presents a novel attack classification. It offers a generic attack description to classify, help identify and defend against computer and network attacks. Our approach takes into account several attack properties in order to...
Organizations often suffer harm from individuals who bear no malice against them but whose actions unintentionally expose the organizations to risk-the unintentional insider threat (UIT). In this paper we examine UIT cases that derive from social engineering exploits. We report on our efforts to collect and analyze data from UIT social engineering incidents to identify possible behavioral and technical...
The results of testing the algorithmic skills of the first year students of Informatics of the University of Debrecen is the main concern of this article. It was found that, in general, the students arriving from high schools have not developed algorithmic skills and have false view about Information and Computer Sciences. The most devastating results arrived from those students who passed middle...
The inter-sentence semantic relation is a semantic relation where exists between adjacent sentences in the context of the discourse. Accurate recognizing of inter-sentence semantic relation is of great significance to text understanding, text reasoning and text structure analysis. However, because of the impact of a number of factors, such as discourse context environment, anaphora resolution and...
This paper discusses the design and use of anthropomorphic computer characters as nonplayer characters (NPC's) within analytical games. These new environments allow avatars to play a central role in supporting training and education goals instead of playing the supporting cast role. This new `science' of gaming, driven by high-powered but inexpensive computers, dedicated graphics processors and realistic...
