The fifth Chapter Chair Summit 2017 was held at the Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy on May 22, 2017. In the tradition of the previous editions, the summit was a parallel event of the IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC), held one day in advance of the conference at the same venue. The Chapters of the Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS) have...
In this paper, we introduce our project to develop a creating rhythm making system of musical instruments. In a museum where various kinds of musical instruments are displayed, It provides interactive displays by playing these musical instruments. It is efficient to come in touch with a background of them, but it is not easy to play at site rhythmically. The purpose of this study is developing the...
Virginia Tech is in the process of an intensive restructuring of its Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department, driven by an NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Department (RED) grant. As a natural first step, discussion has centered on how the curriculum can be meaningfully enhanced to go beyond a mere reshuffling of core content without tangible changes in pedagogy. Accordingly, we have adopted...
Computer-mediated negotiation is characterized as an interactive communication and decision-making process between at least two individuals using a digital environment. The negotiators' behavior — which can be described in terms of negotiation style or conflict management — often changes when negotiators interact with other parties in a negotiation. This study considers a negotiation support system...
Multitrack audio mixing is an essential part of music production and one of the first steps consist on processing individual stems from raw recordings. In this paper, we investigate this stage as a content-based transformation. We explore which audio features are relevant to interpret this specific process and which set of features gets modified by the mixing of stems in the most consistent way. We...
CPS engineers need to possess both technical and social skills to run CPS-engineering projects successfully. Especially social skills are crucial as the project fails are mostly caused because of lacking social skills of project members. Besides strong social skills, CPS engineers need to have a wide range of various technical skills as the products they deal with are getting increasingly complex...
Temperature distribution and its time evolution are fundamental physics of arcs occurring during breaking process in electro-mechanic devices, which largely determine contact erosion. Aimed to the highly fluctuating switching arc, we implemented an optical system based on relatively strength of two individual spectrum emitted by the same excited atoms inside the plasma. Light emitted from arc is firstly...
Using research-based teaching-learning methodologies in Computer Science programs is a challenge. Achieving the balance between the required technical knowledge and scientific rigor in young professionals is difficult in the University. The goal of this paper is to help baccalaureate level teachers and students employ a research-based teaching-learning methodology through the introduction of research...
This paper describe the implementation of a lock-in amplifier (LIA) which conforms to the AXI standard for on-chip communication. The design and implementation is based on the Zynq field programmable gate array (FPGA) present in the open-source instrument RedPitaya. The designed architecture is a mixed solution between VHDL hardware modules and software modules, running within an ARM CPU. General...
The growing gap between processor and memory speeds results in complex memory hierarchies as processors evolve to mitigate such differences by taking advantage of locality of reference. In this direction, the BSC performance analysis tools have been recently extended to provide insight relative the application memory accesses depicting their temporal and spatial characteristics, correlating with the...
This study aimed to collect empirical studies related to technology enhanced language learning, and to systematically synthesize and review these studies to investigate the effectiveness of technology on language learning. The variables are year of publication, educational level, sample size, treatment duration, outcome measurement and types of devices. A total of 90 studies published between 1990...
Detailed memory access traces are extremely helpful for system partitioning and optimization in the context of hardware/software codesign, especially in early design stages. The prevalent technique for the generation of such traces is interpretive instruction set simulation which, however, depends on detailed modeling and further results in poor performance. With compiled simulation techniques, performance...
A virtual lab with different material testing experiments in the field of forming technology is presented. Within a virtual environment, developed for the Oculus Rift, users can interact with the virtual test equipment to setup and conduct a tensile as well as a deep drawing test. The user can choose to hide different objects to gain an unobstructed view on the forming process which is impossible...
The learning of Physics involves building up and using lab experiments. In turn, teachers must be trained in experimenting and using several resources that enable them to design valuable teaching strategies and learning activities. Thanks to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), virtual and remote labs can provide a framework where physical experiments can be developed. Altough remote...
Describes the universal approach to the intellectual automated system development of digital signal processing for acoustic testing devices with free vibrations method and the usage of artificial neural networks. The system solves the problem of defects recognition and classification, and enhances performance testing in comparison with traditional instruments.
This study reports on the development of a user-survey instrument for Sound for Love, an app-supported wedding activity aimed at encouraging between-guest interaction through musical co-creation. Taking activity theory as its conceptual framework, the developed survey takes into account Sound for Love users' motivations, experience value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. As well as its practical...
This paper is presented to introduce a system constituting of a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that is connected to the level switches which is monitoring the level of the tank. This system saves the tank from over flowing which increases the safety and efficiency. The levels are considered as an input to the PLC and the pump is controlled by the output of PLC which pumps out the solvent or any...
Decision guidance models are a means for design space exploration and documentation. In this paper, we present decision guidance models for microservice monitoring. The selection of a monitoring system is an essential part of each microservice architecture due to the high level of dynamic structure and behavior of such a system. We present decision guidance models for generation of monitoring data,...
Most techniques to detect program errors, such as testing, code reviews, and static program analysis, do not fully verify all possible executions of a program. They leave executions unverified when they do not check certain properties, fail to verify properties, or check properties under certain unsound assumptions such as the absence of arithmetic overflow. In this paper, we present a technique to...
