This project of systematic investigation of Parisian cellars is by nature pluri-disciplinary. It relies on the complementary skills of historians, architectural historians, archaeologists, architects and engineers. For several years, the Centre Chastel (UMR 8150) has developed a specific research axis about Paris, and is now associated with other organisations that have produced expert works and surveys...
Dissemination of architectural and archaeological Cultural Heritage is a relevant task in the process of its documentation and has to reach the wider audience possible. Digital implementation is today a must, and is more and more accessible considering that Information Technologies skills required are being simplified thanks to new solutions and open source sharing. The paper focuses on the different...
One of the greatest challenges to using Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the documentation of architectural heritage is in overcoming the propensity of the software toward standardization. Most BIM applications are optimized for industrialized building systems where even a minor deviation in geometry or dimension between like elements is considered problematic. Heritage buildings, on the other...
This paper presents a study how radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology can contribute to the optimization of production process. RFID allows the automation identification of entire batches of goods on the level of pallets, cases, or even individual items. Moreover, RFID facilitates electronics data collection under circumstances in which alternative technologies — e.g., bar codes, cannot...
Enterprise Resource Planning can provide many benefits for organizations that use them. This also holds for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, due to limited funds, SMEs is unable to procure a commercial ERP system. Nevertheless, even for a free ERP system, SMEs do not have the expertise in dealing with the hardware, software, nor ERP system infrastructure. Therefore, we are interested...
This paper proposes a decomposition of generic software security problems, mapping them to smaller problems of static and dynamic binary code analysis.
Reach ability graph is a fundamental tool for analysis of Petri Net models of discrete event dynamic systems. However, the applicability of reach ability graph is limited to finding different states that are reachable from an initial state. This paper presents a new extended reach ability graph that is much more useful: the extended reach ability graph can be used for not only finding the states that...
This paper describes the experience of managing a requirements process between distributed parties with diverse interests in a research project context. We present some key 'lessons learned' from a new case study, the DESTECS project, and summarise lessons learned from previous experience reports. Key risks include obstacles imposed by the geographic distance, the different domain knowledge and working...
A significant amount of mechanical parts is manufactured by milling, and the process of 2.5D rough milling is responsible for removing most of the material, while the finishing stage can be performed in machines with up to 5 axes. 2.5D milling is defined as the process composed of a series of 2D paths on the XY plane at different Z levels. A high material removal helps to reduce manufacturing time,...
The introductory continuous-time signals and systems (CTSS) course is widely considered to be one of the most difficult courses in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curricula. This interactive workshop explores the sources of difficulty and presents some approaches to help improve learning and understanding. It will begin with a discussion about learning difficulties that are identified by...
After a research on railway project cases, we find that in some China companies, project cost control is such weak, even though the railway project has a huge number of investments with a short construction period. So to solve this problem, this paper constructs WBS standard templates and dictionaries of Four-Electrical (Communication, Electricity, Electrification, Signal) railway projects, based...
Few research conducted Multinational enterprise CSR in foreign context and emerging markets. It also remains unclear the link between social practices and product market performance at the branch level in the multinational context. To understand (1) does Multinational enterprise CSR in host country influence their branches' performance in emerging market; (2) how the spatial distance between home...
The effectiveness of model-driven engineering relies on our ability to build high quality models. This task is intrinsically difficult. We need to produce sufficiently complete, adequate, consistent, and well-structured models from incomplete, imprecise, and sparse material originating from multiple, often conflicting sources. The systems we need to consider generally comprises software components,...
The professional training has been the bottleneck of equipment maintenance support management. According to this issue, the training demands are analyzed, the training content system is developed, the training information system is designed preliminarily, and the application prospects are discussed in this paper. Moreover, it should be pointed out that promote the development of equipment maintenance...
The use of serious educational games has many advantages, offering immersive, engaging and fun environments that require deep thinking and complex problem solving within a construct of overcoming obstacles and challenges. Developing new games, however, to support broad and rapidly evolving disciplines has remained time consuming, expensive, and requiring the expertise of game designers, software developers,...
This paper presents a brief chronological review of computer-based training (CBT) and the author's experimental implementation of CBT application software through his learning and teaching experiences, which consist of his preparation for the IEEE Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) exam, collegiate instruction of programming languages and teaching of information and communication technology...
Step-by-step and from-easy-to-difficult are the outstanding characteristics of geological interpretationof remote sensing images. The interpretation results, especially the attributes of interpreted features, can be changed or adjusted on each step according to the reference materials and the field work feedback. As aconsequence, geological interpreters may make a lot of attribute adjustments and...
The present paper tries to substantiate the claim that users of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) will gain considerable language awareness, in terms of both semantics and grammar, while checking on the accuracy of their edited texts, if an integrated software material - which we intend to develop - is used. The following set of concrete proposals for developing such a software for the active study...
Modern high-tech products are being more widely used in College English teaching. PowerPoint presentation software is one representative of them. So while English teachers are using multimedia tools to design courseware to make presentations in teaching, is it practicable to enable students to make their own work by using presentation software such as PPT to finish their traditional English exercises...
Cool Edit Pro, a software package for processing audio materials, can greatly enrich and facilitate English listening teaching with its comprehensive, especially easy-to-learn functions. This paper first selects and describes some functions of Cool Edit, i.e., making recordings, extracting audio, editing, and audio adjustments which are believed to meet the basic teaching needs. Then the paper illustrates...
