In this paper, we introduce the idea of exploiting the emotional information as a key element in providing personalized context-aware software services and consequently enhancing quality of User Experience(UX). We argue that emotional measurements can be integrated in Quality of Service (QoS) assurance frameworks. The idea builds on the strength of technological advances in emotion measurement tools,...
Devices and methods for interaction with a computer do not change very often. However, with technology advancements, solutions for new ways of human-computer interaction are possible. Especially for physically disabled users, solutions for contactless interaction with a device promise new possibilities for independent computer use and management. In this study a solution for a contactless interaction...
The brushless DC motors (BLDC) have been widely applied to the motion control over a wide range of industrial applications because of its superior characteristics of high efficiency, high power density, easy control and maintenance, in recent years. However high performance motor drives require fast and quick speed response caused from system disturbance and parameter variations. In order to obtain...
Exposure to safety-critical thinking grows in importance as society increasingly depends upon software to control physical devices with potential safety impacts. In this unique graduate capstone experience we engaged graduate Software Engineering students in the specification, design, implementation, validation, and assurance of potentially safety-critical software-intensive products involving physical...
We present a real-time TDOA localization testbed utilizing software defined radio and GPS based synchronization. A distributed software stack enables the localization of unknown signals by transporting the recorded baseband samples of several sensors over a backhaul network for centralized signal processing in a fusion center. To overcome the relatively large drifts of synchronization signals provided...
Cultural diversity of large crowds is one of the major concerns when participants overstep the predefined guidelines. Such behaviors eradicate crowds' safety, resulting massive casualties. Advent of tracking devices and smartphones with multiple sensing abilities can leverage to capture crowds' real-time spatio-temporal (ST) data to serve emergency service plans. In this paper, we present a Spatio-Temporal...
The explosive proliferation of smart devices and cloud computing has ushered the era of Cyberphysical Systems (CPS), a congruence of physical dynamical systems with the cyberspace. The success of deploying an Internet of Things (IoT) interconnecting billions of devices relies heavily upon making the right choices in revisiting traditional architectures for networked control and information processing...
'Drone Ground Control Station' is a system for controlling and monitoring Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Drone from any remote place. In existing nonmilitary drone ground control stations, the software can only present the telemetry data and control parameters from drone, which do not ensure the safety of an on flight drone from crashing due to bad weather and other facts. Moreover, the software...
In this paper, experiences and best practices from using containerized software microservices for self-driving vehicles are shared. We applied the containerized software paradigm successfully to both the software development and deployment to turn our software architecture in the vehicles following the idea of microservices. Key enabling elements include onboarding of new developers, both researchers...
This paper presents an Augmented Reality (AR) comprehensive assembly system for the multi-interactive creation of assembly processes. The special multimodal interface allows the presentation of not only new types of visual display but also interestingly designed voice instructions and material flow management. The system simulates many-sided and complicated assembly tasks in various areas of manufacturing...
Security-conscious users are very careful with software they allow their phone to run. They are much less careful with the choices they make regarding accessories such as headphones or chargers and only few, if any, care about cyber security threats coming from the phone's protective case. We show how a malicious smartphone protective case can be used to detect and monitor the victim's interaction...
This paper is focus on the progress of wearable technology in the area of human healthcare. It has been developed a small, low cost, low power consumption and open source wearable system that allows the monitoring of the human physical activities. One of the main reasons for developing this wearable system is to promote the sport activity and combat physical inactivity i.e. a sedentary lifestyle,...
Modern vehicles are equipped with a lot of hard-and software systems that all generate in-vehicle data. Application development could benefit from a generic data acquisition layer to create a healthy, transparent and ethical data sharing environment. This paper investigates which policies are necessary in order to create this environment to stimulate development of applications that require access...
This study uses non-minutiae fingerprint recognition methods to confirm earlier results on the existence of fingerprint template ageing. We performed the experiments on datasets including a time-span of 4 years. The acquisition was performed by using three different commercial off-the-shelf optical fingerprint sensors. Furthermore, we compared the results of those non-minutiae experiments to investigations...
The main purpose of this study is to test the software which runs circuits using a holographic interferometer. With this, it will be possible to develop coding that making the circuit elements work more productively. This study will make testing simpler by using different code clusters and algorithms that can be tested on the same sample or different samples, which vary from being more durable to...
Traditional lighting is focused on the prevention of hardware failures. With the trend towards controlled and connected systems, other components will start playing an equal role in the reliability of it. Here reliability need to be replaced by availability and other modelling approaches are to be taken into account. System prognostics and health management is the next step to service the connected...
This paper presents a vision of how the Internet of Things will impact the study of software engineering by 2025 and beyond. The following questions guide this inquiry. What will it mean to be able to deploy hundreds of sensors and data collectors running concurrently over months to gather very large and rich datasets of the physical, digital, and social aspects of software engineering organizations...
In 2025 semantic tools for software engineering will be mature, and their frequency of use in software development will still be disappointing.This proposal explains how research directed at building theories of everything (or, at least, important software domains) can consolidate progress and bring semantic tools into the mainstream of software practice.
The design of software architecture is a higher level in the design process of software, which has surpassed the algorithm design and data structure design, and the purpose is to solve some problems in the design and description of the overall system structure. In this paper, the technology and modeling method of software architecture design are studied; the hierarchical structure, execution flow,...
In this paper, we introduce a road surface conditionunderstanding and sharing system. Traffic accidents and obstructionsdue to bad weather conditions and poor road conditions areserious social problems. It is necessary for drivers to understandweather and road conditions in advance to avoid traffic accidentsand obstructions and it is necessary to alert drivers to weatherand road conditions in order...
