In recent years there has been a growing interest in Internet of Thing, Big Data and Mobile Internet. With the rapid growth of the amount of data in the embedded environment, using a traditional embedded processor is hard to satisfy the requirements of big data processing. Sorting is one of the fundamental operation in data processing and is also frequently used for search, filter, feature analysis...
Active learning has demonstrated value in STEM education and various meta analyses show improvements in student performance when making use of active learning pedagogy and active learning classrooms. One limiting factor to extending the reach of active learning is cost. Many models for state-of-the-art active learning environments make use of tools and infrastructure through which students can connect...
This article considers basic concepts and features of the concept of the Internet of things. The analysis of network technologies and devices that provide the realization of the Internet of things concept is carried out. A prototype of a device for remote power management was created using the Internet of things approach. This device can be used both in enterprise networks, where there are branches...
The emerging field of Immersive Analytics investigates how novel display and interaction technologies can enable people to visualise and analyse data and complex information. In this paper, we present ContextuWall, a system for interactive local and remote collaboration using touch and mobile devices as well as displays of various sizes. The system enables groups of users located on different sites...
Almost two hundred sites located mostly at Universities were equipped in 2015 with latest videoconferencing devices and connected to one national network. This was covered by national project named National telepresence infrastructure to support research, development and technology transfer (NTI). This paper presents technological challenges behind, integration of hardware and software solutions in...
Complex robotic architectures require a collaborative effort in design and adherence to the design in the implementation phse. ArchGentTool is a collaborative architecture generation tool which supports the design of the robotic architecture in a multi-level fashion. It comprises high-level conceptual analysis of the system to be designed, as well as low-level implementation breakdown of its functional...
The Open Educational Resource concept was proposed several years ago as a way to develop the Open Movement principles in the educational domain. Despite the open and participative view underlying this proposal, there has not been a significant adoption of this concept by users. Many problems and barriers have been considered and analyzed. Nevertheless, we consider that a main issue is the contradiction...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are nearly exclusively designed such as sensor nodes export sensed data to a base station in order to be processed due to their limited processing and memory capacities. This constitutes a critical energy issue for sensor nodes, which are often battery-powered, since radio transmission is much more energy consuming than data processing especially for packets traveling...
An advanced software/hardware flexible and realtime INTernational-REmote-LABoratory (INT-RE-LAB) architecture is presented in this paper. The INT-RE-LAB is developed and localized in four different host universities. The software part is based on the use of a free license server Node.js written in JavaScript. It offers lightweight Html/JavaScript clients. The integration of socket.io module enables...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a technology used to collect data from different sources. The development of WSNs offer complex challenges. Developers of WSN systems should be aware of issues such as energy-efficient network management and cooperation among nodes. The advancement in sensor nodes have created new opportunities for cooperation. This paper addresses the lack of software development...
The need to interact with complex environments that are often not well understood at design time makes the development of smart cyber-physical systems (sCPS) a challenging endeavor. We propose a set of practices and tools that support the design and implementation of sCPS using continuous collaboration -- a development lifecycle and architecture to continuously incorporate data gained from the operation...
In most of today projects, the digital data, knowledge and expertise required are so large that a single person is far from enough to achieve the best decisions. Many critical processes now require several people to share the project specific information as well as their own views to collectively converge towards a right conclusion. Touch tables are promising collaborative work interfaces, but require...
Effective collaboration between engineers from different branches of engineering, such as computer and electronics engineering is a skill that requires training. Most engineers, do to some degree master this skill. Doing it effectively and as an integral part of ones work is not easy. In order to better prepare engineering students for their professional career, a module in Smart Systems is designed...
Student Response Systems exhibit a long usage history, begun with clickers and recently evolved toward Web-based systems. Several studies show that they improve students' engagement and participation, but also show some drawbacks (clickers costs, distraction and equity in Web-based systems). In this paper, we present our implementation of a Student Response System integrated within a collaborative...
We present some of the new open source radio astronomy instruments, hardware, gateware, GPUware, and software developed by the CASPER collaboration, including new ADC and FPGA boards, heterogeneous correlators, spectrometers, and pulsar instrumentation, as well plans for next generation CASPER tools and libraries.
Shared cache is generally optimized for overall throughput, fairness, or both. Increasingly in shared environments, e.g., compute clouds, users are unrelated to one another. In such circumstances, an overall gain in throughput does not justify an individual loss. This paper explores a new strategy for conservative sharing, which protects the cache occupancy for individual programs, but still enables...
Intermittent wire faults can be caused by harsh environments, handling or simply aging of the sheathing. These types of faults are difficult to isolate due to the intermittent nature. Recent advances in intermittent fault detection have provided the aerospace and defense industry new methods to test aging aircraft wiring. In particular the use of Low Energy High Voltage (LEHV) methods and Spread Spectrum...
Information sharing and collaboration has facilitated decision accuracy and reaction time in many applications. Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (DIDS) solutions are one of such applications that have dramatically been transformed. This is mainly due to increasing number of attacks as well as sophisticated nature of today's intrusions. Moreover, it has been shown that various critical components...
A wide range of software has been moving to Cloud platforms, except for 3D applications, which require hardware (access to high-end GPU1) and software (use of libraries for 3D graphics like OpenGL or DirectX) not yet supported.
