Aud-SWIPE-P: A parallelization of the Aud-SWIPE pitch estimation algorithm using multiple processes and threads
(Acta Press. Artificial Intelligence and Applications / 794: Modelling, Identification and Control / 795: Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks / 796: Software Engineering / 792: Web-based Education (AIA 2013), 2013-02-11)
In this work we implement a parallel version of the pitch estimation algorithm Aud-SWIPE. The new implementation, Aud-SWIPE-P produces a remarkable acceleration, making it usable in applications where it was not efficient ...
COSMIC Base Functional Components in Functional Size Based Effort Estimation Models
(2016-11-09)
Software effort estimation models has been an area of considerable research for many years and it is still a challenge for software engineering. Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used, ...
Visualizing IT budget to improve stakeholder communication in the decision making process
(2016)
Traditionally in large enterprises, budget cuts are a treat for IT departments. One way to guard IT budget is visualizing the impacts in IT services of such cuts. Data visualization tools are capable of bridging the gap ...
Function Point Structure and Applicability: A Replicated Study
(2016)
The complexity of providing accurate functional software size and effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Function point analysis (FPA) is currently one of the most accepted software functional ...
A Comparison between a Relational Database and a Graph Database in the context of a Personalized Cancer Treatment Application
(2016)
This paper presents a performance comparison between a relational database (implemented in MySQL) and a graph database (implemented in Neo4j). Unlike traditional benchmarks, this comparison is made in the context of a real ...
Human aspects of ubiquitous computing: a study addressing willingness to use it and privacy issues
(2017)
Identifying the human aspects related to ubiquitous systems focused on people’s willingness to use them and privacy concerns was our goal. We selected two ubiquitous systems: a wearable system (Google Glass) and an embedded ...
Building a Personalized Cancer Treatment System
(2016)
This paper reports the process by which a personalized cancer treatment system was built, following a user-centered approach. We give some background on personalized cancer treatment, the particular tumor chemosensitivity ...
Using Non-Traditional Interfaces to Support Physical Therapy for Knee Strengthening
(2016)
Physical therapy consists mainly in the execution of
rehabilitation processes that aim to help overcome injuries, as
well as develop, maintain, or restore maximum body movement.
Knee rehabilitation is one kind of physical ...
Alternative and augmentative communication for people with disabilities and language problems: an eye gaze tracking approach
(2016)
Alternative and augmentative communications encapsulates the use of
technology to provide communication means for people with some sort of disability.
In this paper, we present a prototype that provides both pictographic ...
Improving deaf people accessibility and communication through automatic sign language recognition using novel technologies
(2016)
Communication is a key for human development. Nevertheless, deaf
people have difficulty interacting with hearing and hard of hearing people. On the
other hand, new technology allows gesture recognition. This work aims ...
