In many industries, including business, healthcare, finance, and more, decision-making no longer occurs separately from data warehousing and data mining. This meta-analysis analyzes the standard data warehousing and mining techniques to determine how ...

Research on business incubators has been advocating their impacts in promoting industry innovation, economic growth, fostering entrepreneurship, and social development. However, the literature gap concerning business incubator models remains, ...

Online data visualizations are widely used to communicate information from simple statistics to complex phenomena, supporting people in gaining important insights from data. However, due to the defining visual nature of data visualizations, extracting ...

Many countries have transparency laws requiring availability of data. However, often data is available but not transparent. We present the Transparency Portal of Brazilian Federal Government case and discuss limitations of public acquisitions data stored ...

Open Source Software (OSS) is gaining interests of software engineering community as well as practitioners from industry with the growth of the internet. Studies in estimating maintenance effort (MEE) of such software product have been published in the ...

Nowadays Information technologies have caused irreversible changes in many parts of our society. This development reached its climax with the advent of 'Big Data', whose economic and social benefits should not be neglected. However, 'Big Data' ...

In bioinformatics, motif discovery is one of the fundamental and important computational problems. Identifying these recurring patterns in biological sequences helps us to better understand the mechanisms that regulate gene expression. Recently several ...

Hackers usually discover and exploit vulnerabilities existing in the entry point before invading a corporate environment. The web server exploration and spams are two popular means used by hackers to gain access to the enterprise computer systems. ...

To evaluate software maintenance techniques and tools in controlled experiments with human participants, researchers currently use projects and tasks selected on an ad-hoc basis. This can unrealistically favor their tool, and it makes the comparison of ...

Some trends and vectors of a changing educational process are considered herein. An analysis of the learning process at universities by the example of several techniques is given in the paper. Some issues of the integration of new educational methods ...

The interdisciplinary fields of Computer Science & Engineering and Human Computer Interaction are increasingly faced with developing human-centered solutions faster, with fewer project members. As a result, while learning the process of human-centered ...

Many CSE programs have begun to mandate a human-centered design (HCD) course as part of degree requirements. Rather than abstracting out messy humans to a single generic 'user', HCD requires solution designers to use their innate creativity and empathy ...

In this paper we present a participatory design method for the conceptual design of the user interface, which uses different techniques for capturing the mental models of experts and users. Each technique is carefully specified, and it is implemented in ...

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) aims to determine whether or not a software satisfies users acceptance criteria. Although some studies have used acceptance tests as software requirements, no previous study has collected information about available UAT ...

This paper presents AppTechMiner, a rule-based information extraction framework that automatically constructs a knowledge base of all application areas and problem solving techniques. Techniques include tools, methods, datasets or evaluation metrics. We ...

In a survey of the computing education community, many respondents suggested "active learning" as a teaching approach that would increase the likelihood of student success. In light of these responses, we analyze the way in which active learning is ...

Technical debt is a metaphor referring to the consequences of weak software development. Managing technical debt is necessary in order to keep it under control, and several techniques have been developed with the goal of accomplishing this. However, ...

When describing the design process in product innovation, many authors identify phases that can be described as 'problem analysis' and 'generating ideas'. Several techniques are available to support design teams in each of these phases, but it remains a ...

A declarative programming style focuses on what you want your program to do rather than how to perform the task. By avoiding implementation details, well-written declarative code is easier to understand, modify, and maintain. The code you write in a ...

A key challenge for creating large interactive displays in public spaces is in the definition of ways for the user to interact that are effective and easy to learn. This paper presents the outcomes of user evaluation sessions designed to test a series ...
