The importance of delivering software process courses to software engineering students has been more and more recognized in China in recent years. However, students usually cannot fully appreciate the value of software process courses by only learning methodology and principle in the classroom. Therefore, a process-specific project course was designed to fill the gap between the software process theoretical...
Curriculum design is an important phase in curriculum development process. Curriculum design precedes its submission to national regulatory body for approval. Curriculum design process plays an important role in helping educators to produce curriculum that is incompliance with the program standards and guidelines set by national regulatory body. The traditional approach requires much cumbersome manual...
In Power Supply Capability evaluation, the method based on the interconnections among main transformers produces the exceeding margin. Taking the cause into consideration, this paper proposes a method to correct the load rate matrix of interconnection schemes that is based on the advantages of the former method. Firstly, the minimum load rate of each interconnection scheme is searched and recorded,...
This paper presents an assessment of accessibility in contact forms of Brazilian public universities. Thus, we checked the websites of these institutions by assessing strengths and weaknesses of them according to several criteria based on W3C WCAG 2.0, in its initiative to accessibility, WAI.
An important element of human-robot interaction, as with interhuman interaction, is conversation. Having previously suggested the Gricean maxims as suitable guidelines for social robotics dialogue, we discovered that a preferable alternative set of guidelines: politeness maxims. In this paper, we will introduce the politeness maxims and propose its enhanced applicability in human-robot interaction...
The PAI Project Evaluation Interfaces, investigates the degree of usability of interfaces. Uses a case study of a Website secretariat of a School of Higher Education. The usability of a Web application is critical because a high degree of usability, reflects that users perform their tasks with ease, speed and satisfaction. The usability evaluation seeks to identify specific problems in the interface...
Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) represents a major public health concern. In this paper, we present a dynamical systems model that describes how a behavioral intervention can influence weight gain during pregnancy. The model relies on the integration of a mechanistic energy balance with a dynamical behavioral model. The behavioral model incorporates some well-accepted concepts from psychology:...
A number of international initiatives, such as the Open Educational Resources initiative, have recognized the potential value of sharing and reusing digital resources among educational communities. As a result, organizing, offering, and accessing these resources over the web have been key issues for both the research and the educational community. Within this framework, a popular way for describing...
The uncertainty of the trustworthiness of the information has been a great obstacle for users to obtain and share true information on the Internet. Therefore, it is worth to further study the evaluation of the information credibility. This paper introduces a kind of evaluation method of information credibility based on the trust features of web page. After the trust features are defined according...
Free trade agreements signed and under negotiation between Colombia and the countries of North and Central America, aimed at reducing and eliminating barriers to free movement of professionals to develop businesses that generate profits for each of the parties, this requires the security professional meets minimum requirements in line with international standards. The recognition of certifications,...
Recognized as one of the powerful technologies in software process engineering, Software Process Modeling (SPM) has received significant attention over the last three decades. Although empirical research plays a critical role in software engineering, the state-of-the-practice of empirical research in SPM has not been systematically reviewed. This paper serves as a status report of the assessment of...
One-to-one computing initiatives in developing countries have been criticized for ignoring pedagogical considerations and for lacking tight integration with the local educational context. Ukombozi primary school in Iringa, Tanzania, faced the same situation in 2009, when we received 100 laptop computers for pupils to use. Through a collaborative effort of local and foreign teachers we designed and...
Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS) is usually diagnosed by polysomnography, a test that consists of the registration of a wide range of physiological parameters while the patient is asleep. The commercial monitoring devices used in the polysomnography generate a report summarizing the test. Some of the information presented to the clinicians in these reports, such as the Apnea-Hypopnea Index, has...
This paper mainly analysis the current relevant literature and typical case, and summarize the advantages and disadvantages, based on which, the author refines the strategy of building a learning platform for scientific inquiry. According to the strategy, it constructs a platform model including the core layer of studying level, the auxiliary tool level and the system management level. Besides, the...
Based on energy consumption changes from 1978 to 2008, The relationship among energy consumption, economic growth, CO2 emission and regional air quality is discussed in all of industries and different areas in China. They are related. The reduction potentials of CO2 and air Particulate Matter emission in these provinces and industries are caculated. Technology progress, the industry structure and...
India is a democratic country. Democracy is the government by the people and of the people. Hence access to information and transparency needs to be ensured in a democracy for a citizen to understand the functioning of the government. In India, the Right to Information Act (RTI) fulfills this objective. To bring in social accountability and transparency in the functioning of the Indian government,...
Cloud, SOA, Client-Server, mini computers, NoSQL, Hadoop … the list can appear endless. What these various silver bullets have in common is that they promise to help solve business problems and that as IT solutions they often fail to deliver on initial promises. This talk takes a long-term perspective, examining first the original promise of these two complementary technologies and second, relative...
Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system running. It is mainly to initialize hardware, boot the system, download programs into RAM, and so on. U-Boot is one of the most common and powerful Bootloader. Based on S3C2440 SOC, the paper analyzes the U-Boot start-up procedure, and introduces the method that presenting a command menu to select the command for the development board.
Enabling security is one of the key challenges in adaptive Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS). Since automating business processes involves many participants, uses private and public data, and communicates with external services security becomes inevitable. In current systems, security is enforced by an access control model and supplementary constraints imposed on workflow activities. However,...
In this paper, we give some results on relatively countable compactness with relative properties P is relative compactness and provide an example to demonstrate that these conditions can not be weaken.
