The Natural Language to Visualization (NL2Vis) task aims to transform natural-language descriptions into visual representations for a grounded table, enabling users to gain insights from vast amounts of data. Recently, many deep learning-based approaches ...

This article seeks to find the uses and gratification that consumers receive by using digital media during the lockdown when there is a situation of Covid. This article tries to provide a more comprehensive understanding of why consumers use digital ...

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterised by impairments in communication. Socially assistive robots have been identified as a promising avenue to alleviate their burden. Since NDDs have different needs, their way of communicating with a ...

Background. Dead code is a code smell. It can refer to code blocks, fields, methods, etc. that are unused and/or unreachable. Empirical evidence shows that dead code harms source code comprehensibility and maintainability in software applications. ...

Performing requirements engineering (RE) during the pre-contract stage; i.e., at pre-selling time, is mandatory for software providers to conceive a project proposal and deliver a bid. In bespoke projects, this process requires that providers deal with ...

In-situ self-reporting is an important measurement method used for capturing daily experience data right-in-the-moment in dynamic contexts. Research has been conducted to reduce the demand placed on users for manually reporting data in context. In this ...

Recently, researchers have become increasingly interested in finding new input methods for olfactory interfaces. Physical odor capture is a potential solution to this issue and, in order to make it more accessible for users, we designed a portable and ...

This text proposes an exploratory study to try to identify the place of modelling and simulation-oriented approaches in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). In particular, we will focus on French research in this field. We chose to use the Google ...

Machine tasks in workshops or factories are often a compound sequence of local, spatial, and body-coordinated human-machine interactions. Prior works have shown the merits of video-based and augmented reality (AR) tutoring systems for local tasks. ...

As opposed to traditional software development, agile development encourages requirements change. Given the importance of requirements change management, there is an increasing number of studies discussing this process in both traditional and agile ...

Most start-ups aspire to become non-start-ups someday. One would argue then that architecting for scale means doing it right the first time. However, start-ups usually start with a single idea in search of market fit. Taking time to design and implement ...

Nowadays, one of the most relevant, necessary and essential professional activities is software development. Software practitioners assume a very demanding task presenting important challenges. The aim of the present study is to find out how future ...

Software unbundling consists of dividing an existing software artifact into smaller ones. Unbundling can be useful for removing clutter from the original application or separating different features that may not share the same purpose, or simply for ...

Regular expressions are frequently found in programming projects. Studies have found that developers can accurately determine whether a string matches a regular expression. However, we still do not know the challenges associated with composing regular ...

Different environmental cues can influence our spatial behaviour when we explore unfamiliar spaces. Research shows that the presence of other people affects our navigation decisions. To investigate the use of this environmental cue as a navigation aid ...

Document annotation tools have been widely used in technology-enhanced learning. Through these tools, students can associate annotations with fragments of documents, which enhances the thorough analysis of content and develops meta-reflective thinking. ...

[Background] Prior research on the professional occupation of Requirements Engineering (RE) in Europe and Latin America indicated incongruities between RE practice as perceived by industry and as in textbooks, and conducted detailed analysis of both RE ...

In the field of microbiology training, in which contaminated products must be handled and recycled, there are new needs in order to reduce risks and costs. New advances in Tangible interaction and serious game domains can provide solutions to answer ...

A common software product line strategy involves plugin-based web systems that support simple and quick incorporation of custom behaviors. As a result, they have been widely adopted to create web-based applications. Indeed, the popularity of ecosystems ...

Live Programming environments allow programmers to get feedback instantly while changing software. Liveness is gaining attention among industrial and open-source communities; several IDEs offer high degrees of liveness. While several studies looked at ...
