And in software engineering, there has been no technology more disruptive than outsourcing. That it should so quickly reach maturity and an unparalleled scale is truly remarkable; that it should now be called to demonstrate its sustainability in the current ?nancial turmoil is the challenge that will prove whether and how it will endure. Early signs under even the bleak market conditions of the last 12 months are that it will not onl...
This book constitutes selected, revised and extended papers from the 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU 2020, held as a virtual event in May 2020. The 25 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 190 submissions. The presented papers contribute to the understanding of relevant trends of current research on Computer Supported Education, including learning analytics, intelligent tutoring systems, virtual and augmented reality, MOOCs, and automated assessment systems.
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the EUROCALL society succeeded in holding the 28th EUROCALL conference, EUROCALL2020, on 20-21 August as an online, two-day gathering. The transition process required to make this happen was demanding and insightful for everyone involved, and, in many ways, a logical consequence of the core content and purpose of EUROCALL. Who would be better suited to transform an onsite conference into an online event than EUROCALL? CALL for widening participation was this year’s theme. We welcomed contributions from both theoretical and practical perspectives in relation to the many forms and contexts of CALL. We particularly welcomed longitudinal studies or studies that revisited earlier studies. The academic committee accepted 300 abstracts for paper presentations, symposia, workshops, and posters under this theme; 57 short papers are published in this volume. We hope you will enjoy reading this volume, the first one to reflect a one hundred percent online EUROCALL conference/Online Gathering.
SEAFOOD 2009: Enabling Global Partnerships to Deliver on Business Needs Companies have been outsourcing areas of software development work for many years, either because of the engineering challenges or because the outsourced aspect is not central to their core business. A profound transformation has been a?ecting this model over recent years: a massive transfer of development - tivities from the USA and Europe to a skilled labor force in service-providing countries. This transformation has been driven by the demands of a global bu- ness climate seeking to increase the value delivery of IT investment. However, the ability to realize this value can prove problematic in practice. Of particular...
The book emphasizes the design of full-fledged, fully normalizing lambda calculus machinery, as opposed to the just weakly normalizing machines.
We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the first edition of the 2020 European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) International Conference on Advanced Scientific Innovation in Science, Engineering and Technology. This conference has brought innovative academics, industrial experts researchers, developers and practitioners around the world in the field of Science, Engineering and Technology to a common forum. The technical program of ICASISET 2020 consisted of 97 full papers, including 6 invited papers in oral presentation sessions at the main conference tracks. The conference tracks were: Innovative Computing, Advanced innovation technology in Communication, Industry automation, hydrogen...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Software Engineering Approaches for Offshore and Outsourced Development, SEAFOOD 2007, Zurich, Switzerland, in February 2007. The 15 revised full papers constitute a balanced mix of academic and industrial aspects and address topical regions such as processes, education, country reports, evaluation and assessment, communication and distribution, as well as tools.
This Conference proceeding presents high-quality peer-reviewed papers from the International Conference on Electronics, Biomedical Engineering, and Health Informatics (ICEBEHI) 2020 held at Surabaya, Indonesia. The contents are broadly divided into three parts: (i) Electronics, (ii) Biomedical Engineering, and (iii) Health Informatics. The major focus is on emerging technologies and their applications in the domain of biomedical engineering. It includes papers based on original theoretical, practical, and experimental simulations, development, applications, measurements, and testing. Featuring the latest advances in the field of biomedical engineering applications, this book serves as a definitive reference resource for researchers, professors, and practitioners interested in exploring advanced techniques in the field of electronics, biomedical engineering, and health informatics. The applications and solutions discussed here provide excellent reference material for future product development.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in May 2015. The 34 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 196 submissions. The papers address topics such as information technologies supporting learning; learning/teaching methodologies and assessment; social context and learning environments; domain applications and case studies; and ubiquitous learning.
From the Foreword: "In this book Joscha Bach introduces Dietrich Dörner's PSI architecture and Joscha's implementation of the MicroPSI architecture. These architectures and their implementation have several lessons for other architectures and models. Most notably, the PSI architecture includes drives and thus directly addresses questions of emotional behavior. An architecture including drives helps clarify how emotions could arise. It also changes the way that the architecture works on a fundamental level, providing an architecture more suited for behaving autonomously in a simulated world. PSI includes three types of drives, physiological (e.g., hunger), social (i.e., affiliation needs), a...
