Runtime data of software systems is often of multivariate nature, describing different aspects of performance among other characteristics, and evolves along different versions or changes depending on the execution context. This poses a challenge for ...

Extending human societies into virtual space through the construction of a metaverse has been a long-term challenge in both industry and academia. Achieving this challenge is now closer than ever due to advances in computer systems, facilitating large-...

Performance analysis of microservices can be a challenging task, as a typical request to these systems involves multiple Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) spanning across independent services and machines. Practitioners primarily rely on distributed tracing ...

The information system was developed to aid the critical operations of the enhanced national greening program within the Caraga region, eliminate the risk of human error, and lift the tedious manual processing and progress monitoring. However, the ...

The existing human action recognition methods have imperfect models, resulting in low recognition accuracy, lack of famous teacher resources, shortage of judges, and strong subjectivity in competition and test scoring. Based on Kinect 2.0, through ...

This paper proposes a frequency-based structure and texture decomposition model in a Retinex-based framework for low-light image enhancement and noise suppression. First, we utilize the total variation-based noise estimation to decompose the observed ...

The sharing of information between older adults and their friends, families, caregivers, and doctors promotes a collaborative approach to managing their emotional, mental, and physical well-being and health, prolonging independent living, and improving ...

Body ownership illusions (BOIs) occur when participants experience that their actual body is replaced by a body shown in virtual reality (VR). Based on a systematic review of the cumulative evidence on BOIs from 111 research papers published in 2010 to ...

When seeking information not covered in patient-friendly documents, healthcare consumers may turn to the research literature. Reading medical papers, however, can be a challenging experience. To improve access to medical papers, we explore four features ...

Chatbot-based symptom checker (CSC) apps have become increasingly popular in healthcare. These apps engage users in human-like conversations and offer possible medical diagnoses. The conversational design of these apps can significantly impact user ...

Microwave radars bring many benefits to mid-air gesture sensing due to their large field of view and independence from environmental conditions, such as ambient light and occlusion. However, radar signals are highly dimensional and usually require complex ...

When people search for information about a new topic within large document collections, they implicitly construct a mental model of the unfamiliar information space to represent what they currently know and guide their exploration into the unknown. ...

Sign language recognition for the deaf-mute is an important technology in the field of computer vision, which is conducive to promoting communication between hearing person and the deaf-mute. However, the current mainstream methods for sign language ...

The number of scientific publications is increasing each year, and researchers' demand for literature analysis is also growing. This study aims to propose a computer-aided literature analysis method based on natural language processing technology. Our ...

Hybridity in immersive technologies has not been studied for factors that are likely to influence engagement. An noticeable factor is the spatial enclosure that defines where users meet. This involves a mutual object of interest, contents that the users ...

As the world is still recovering from the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, one key aspect of the pandemic era were the global efforts for containment, case tracking and several other factors. While the scientific and governmental ...

Augmented Reality technologies can be considered to be a fascinating choice for educators seeking resources and methods to stimulate their students about the topic they teach. In recent years, the increasing number of relevant educational applications ...

Transcription tasks have been long used as the de-facto evaluation method in mobile text entry research. Evaluations use memorable phrase sets, in order to prevent participants from devoting more attention to the stimulus phrase than the bare minimum. ...

Innovative Cultural Experience (ICE) is an Augmented Reality (AR) system for promoting cultural heritage. ICE combines cutting-edge technologies such as an interactive transparent screen, AR, motion sensors and multimedia material in order to provide a ...

Difficulties of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in recognizing and expressing emotions, responding appropriately to them as well as in Theory of Mind (ToM) skills are a core symptom of the disorder. An important gap in the literature concerns ...
