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 ...
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 ...
A user interaction bug analyzer based on image processing
(2016-08)
Mobile applications support a set of user-interaction features that are independent
of the application logic. Rotating the device, scrolling, or zooming are examples
of such features. Some bugs in mobile applications can ...
Understanding notional machines through traditional teaching with conceptual contraposition and program memory tracing
(2016-08)
A correct understanding about how computers run code is mandatory in order to effectively learn to program. Lectures have historically been used in programming courses to teach how computers execute code, and students are ...
A mobile application that allows children in the early childhood to program robots
(2016)
Children born in the Information Age are digital natives; this characteristic should be exploited to improve the learning process through the use of technology. This paper addresses the design, construction, and evaluation ...
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 ...
Identifying the implied: Findings from three differentiated replications on the use of security requirements templates
(2017)
Identifying security requirements early on can lay the foundation for secure software development. Security requirements are often implied by existing functional requirements but are mostly left unspecified. The Security ...
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, ...
