The Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) Software is a central tool in the CMS experiment. Its flexibility allows for integration in several key environments: online, for real-time detector monitoring; offline, for the final, fine-grained data certification; release validation, to constantly validate the functionalities and the performance of the reconstruction software; in Monte Carlo productions. Since...
This paper debates the necessity of implementing Virtual Reality Technology as a training tool within Lean Manufacturing Environments (LME). The topic for discussion surrounding this area is the need for a user friendly package that utilizes game and advanced Virtual Reality (VR) Technology to encompass the principles of the Lean approach to manufacturing. Fundamental principles adopted by video game...
We propose a scalable intrusion detection system (IDS) architecture on a software-defined networking (SDN) environment implemented using a virtualization infrastructure called a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). In this virtual environment, virtual machines running IDSs, the SDN controller, and network attack software are connected with each other through OpenFlow-enabled software switches. This...
The last decade has produced many important advances in virtualization of IT infrastructure. Virtual Machines, once a novelty, have become an integral component of production web applications and the foundation for cloud services. Virtual Circuits have been around even longer and are now seeing the deployment of multi-domain provisioning services. The conventional core internet routing and switching...
Software components have played an important role in modern software and system development. The main contribution of software components is reuse which helps reduces development cost and time and increase productivity. There must be some system or an application which can efficiently store and retrieve software assets so they can be easily reused whenever same type of functionality is desired. There...
Tool Path Generation is one of the important steps in 3D printing (3DP) processes. An extendable tool path generation software is designed aimed at supporting all 3DP processes in this paper. At first, an extendable architecture is created based on the principle of tool path generating which all 3DP processes should follow. Then, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed with a Visual Studio...
Along with the rapid increasing use of wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) enabled devices, nowadays it is becoming possible for users to exchange data wirelessly without the need of network infrastructure. Therefore, during disaster time when network infrastructure is not available, utilizing Wi-Fi as a means for information sharing to those in the disaster affected area can be a promising solution. Especially,...
Software Testing has been a costly process used in industry for purpose of verification of software. It consumes nearly thirty to fifty percent of the entire software development cost. Test oracle is considered as an important component of the testing process, which ensures about the correctness of software behavior. In search based test generations, specification based test generations or in intelligent...
The conversion of an existing Test Program Set (TPS) from an existing platform to a newer platform is an expensive endeavor. The costs include conversion of the TPS source code to make it compatible with the new system, converting any external Digital Tests and the conversion of any number of associated support files. In addition, once this is done the TPS must be validated on the new platform (and...
Anti-patterns are considered as deficient programming practices that are unacceptable as a solution. They can be thought of as certain patterns in software development that are undesirable in comparison to design patterns which are acceptable solutions formalized for a common problem. From the study on anti-pattern classes involved in object-oriented systems, we examined the impact of presence of...
Within the later stages of many Electronics or Computer Science degree programmes it is common to cover the programming of real-time systems, sometimes with an embedded orientation, instructing students in the fundamentals and application of multitasking and multithreading. Within this paper we detail the approach taken at Glasgow Caledonian University in the design of such a module as part of a programme...
The Source Meter Sonar Qube plug-in is an extension of Sonar Qube, an open-source platform for managing code quality made by Sonar Source S.A, Switzerland. The plug-in extends the built-in Java code analysis engine of Sonar Qube with Front End ART's high-end Java code analysis engine. Most of Sonar Qubes original analysis results are replaced (including the detected source code duplications), while...
Thyroid uptake study is a technique that requires injection of a radio-isotope/radiotracer emitting gamma rays into the blood stream of the patient. Thyroid imaging is done by means of Thyroid Uptake imaging system. In the absence of a sophisticated system, imaging can also be done using Gamma Camera. By intravenously injecting 2 millicuries of Technetium-99m pertechnetate radio-isotope, serial thyroid...
This electronic document is about performance based comparative analysis of two test tools, TETware and TestKit, used for validating the Tizen Framework. Using this analysis, validation of the Tizen Framework can be done efficiently by choosing the right tool and also can be used to validate and fix framework related issues. Once Tizen is available for app development, this analysis will be very helpful...
Many robots capable of performing social behaviors have recently been developed for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) studies. These social robots are applied in various domains such as education, entertainment, medicine, and collaboration. Besides the undisputed advantages, a major difficulty in HRI studies with social robots is that the robot platforms are typically expensive and/or not open-source...
The exploding volume of network traffic and expanding Quality of Service (QoS) requirements from emerging multimedia and interactive applications in the last decade demand improved internet traffic engineering techniques. In particular, traffic classification and packet marking became essential components for end-to-end QoS assurance of different traffic classes. In this paper we present WekaTIE,...
Product line engineering a very new engineering method evolved in few past years has proven a very best technique of producing products at rapid way using the concept Reuse of assets, artifacts, and components. Software Product Lines and Software Architectures combined to form a Product Line Architecture (PLA). Many researchers have work on PLA producing different views and experiences. Architectural...
This paper presents Squeeze Me, a squeezable device used to grab attention from the mobile robot Care-O-bot, providing ground for expressive values to be shared between person and robot in a smart environment. Squeeze Me consists of a soft rubbery interactive cover, that can be mounted on a tablet, to enable expression-rich communication. The cover embeds two specifically designed resistive analogue...
This paper presents the design of the socially as-sistive companion robotic wheelchair named RoboChair. Unlike in most current companion robotics projects, the approach of RoboChair is not to build a completely new robotic device. Instead, the focus of the RoboChair project is to convert an already useful device (i.e. wheelchair) to a socially assistive companion robot. The authors argue that there...
The use of commercial off-the-shelf components for implementing Internet of Things devices has become a common practice amongst researchers and solution providers. IOT solutions, based on the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black, offer cost effective, versatile and uncomplicated platforms for rapid application development. The devices are treated as black box devices and little work has been...
