Pinpointing where healthy brain aging leaves off and dementia begins is difficult. Is a slip in memory an expected outcome for a too-busy person or a warning of something else? If an empty-nester loses the motivation to cook, is it a sign that the person is enjoying retirement after a lifetime spent cooking or an early sign of a cognitive decline?
Reliability stress testing of power semiconductors requires significant development effort for a test apparatus to provide the required functionality. This paper presents a modular test system architecture which focuses on flexibility, reusability and adaptability to future test requirements. Different types of tests for different devices in application circuit configuration can be implemented based...
This paper discusses an interdisciplinary educational initiative led by an instructional team with backgrounds in engineering and psychology in the context of an ergonomics course for software engineers. Our case study evaluates the educational outcomes of a course project that dealt with the error analysis and prototype-level redesign of a software tool for elderly users. The paper presents the rationale...
We have investigated a technique for recognising faces invariant of facial expressions. We apply multi-linear tensor algebra, which subsumes linear algebra, to analyse and recognise 3D face surfaces. This potent framework possesses a remarkable ability to deal with the shortcomings of principle component analysis in less constrained situations. A set of vector spaces can be used to represent the variation...
Distributed software systems are characterized by increasing autonomy. They often have the capability to sense the environment and react to it, discover the presence of other systems and take advantage of their services, adapt and re-configure themselves in accordance with the internal as well as the global state. Testing this kind of systems is challenging, and systematic and automated approaches...
