In terms of sustainability, traffic is currently a significant challenge for urban areas, where the pollution, congestion and accidents are negative externalities which have strongly impacted the health and economy of ...

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the use of peer feedback in higher education. However, the evidence of the effect of peer feedback on students’ academic achievement does not seem conclusive and, to our ...

Evaluation is the systematic determination of the merit, worth and significance of a programme, initiative or intervention. As a young discipline, its empirical study is still limited, especially in Francophone Africa. ...

This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of complex optimization problems under uncertainty. The usual multiparametric programing approach is skipped through the use of metamodels to mimic a set of already solved ...

This paper presents an adapted particle swarm optimization model for the electrical layout planning of floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs). A comprehensive model is considered by taking into account the entire wind turbine ...

[Context and motivation] Software Requirement Patterns (SRP) are a type of artifact that may be used during requirements elicitation that also impact positively in other activities like documentation and validation. In our ...

Measurement is a key aspect for Information Systems assessment in all its development phases. Different artefacts allow the application of different kinds of metrics. For instance, when the software system is already ...

This article elaborates on an extension to the classical stiffness matrix method to obtain the Green's functions for two-and-a-half dimensional (2.5D) elastodynamic problems in homogeneous and horizontally layered half-spaces. ...

Given an event log L, a control-flow discovery algorithm f, and a quality metric m, this paper faces the following problem: what are the parameters in f that mostly influence its application in terms of m when applied ...

Wireless multimedia sensor nodes sense areas that are uncorrelated to the areas covered by radio neighbouring sensors. Thus, node clustering for coordinating multimedia sensing and processing cannot be based on classical ...
