Linear Scanning

A case study is presented, documenting a cognitive developmentally-based instructional protocol to teach automatic linear scanning for computer access to a 4 year, 11 month old girl with severe physical and communication disabilities who was unable to use the standard computer keyboard. The instructional protocol served to provide a bridge between the child's initial incomplete representation of the scanning task and the representation required to scan successfully, by maximizing the familiarity of the task for the child, highlighting the relevant cues, and minimizing the number of items of information to be coordinated. Results of a multiple probe design indicated the efficacy of the instructional procedures. The instructional program is discussed in light of cognitive/development theory, educational applications, and directions for future research.

The scope of modern power plant controls usually includes plant DCS, boiler control and protection, steam/gas turbine governor and protection, auxiliaries control, automatic voltage controller, automatic synchronizer and operator/engineering stations. Usually these control packages come from different manufacturers (OEM). They are typically based on various electronic hardware and software platforms. Different communication protocols often present problems during system integration; and maintenance costs of these various electronic hardware and software platforms are normally greater than that of a stand alone system. Advantages of an integrated, distributed, open architecture, digital system, (Fig. 1) which covers all the power plant needs are discussed in this paper. A common electronic hardware/ software platform allows optimization of the new constructions and upgrades, shorten delivery and commissioning time, and improve availability and safety of the new and upgraded power plants. Specific benefits of this concept are presented in the Mt. Poso controls upgrade Case Study. The common electronic hardware/ software platform installed at Mt. Poso allowed optimization of the upgrade, shortened commissioning time, improved availability, reliability and safety and reduced maintenance cost of the control systems.

Different Sources

One of the main problems in scientific repositories is to identify relationships and link metadata from different sources. This paper briefly describes the new results in an effort to build a software platform able to process metadata from different heterogeneous sources. The case study for this phase is the linking of the thesis and dissertation repositories network, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and the Lattes Platform of researchers' curricula. A strategy for generating hashes for records is applied, through transformation rules on title and year, capturing, in one step, the Lattes identifiers of theses and dissertations authors and supervisors.

Kalman filter is one of the most effective methods to recover the signal influenced by noise. Kalman filter algorithm is implemented by the MicroBlaze embedded in SoC (System on Chip) system. A software platform for validating the algorithm is proposed and a case study is given to illustrate its application.

Education Courses

This paper reports on the development of an evidenced-based method guiding the review, design and development of higher education courses (programs), supported by a bespoke, purpose-specific software platform. It describes the outcome of a five-year process of development for both the method and for the supporting technology, where feedback was obtained from stakeholders across the institution, evaluated and enacted. The paper describes the best practice approaches embedded within the method, as well as the underlying theory bases and the procedures that contributed to the evolution of the current product. The lessons learned by the project team can inform others in similar higher education contexts thereby avoiding the pitfalls described.

Linux Containers

To address this efficiency and the resulting inherent scalability problems of Learning-at-Scale, this chapter propose a platform called SPLAShED: Software Platform for Large-Scale Assessment of Software-Development for Education-at-a-Distance, that uses Linux containers to provide OS-level virtualization. This gives each desired service the equivalent of a Virtual Private Server (VPS) that creates a temporary private userspace on the server. Each VPS provides a separate working environment for each desired application, but does not incur the overhead of traditional virtualization techniques. Our SPLAShED platform applies recent advances in Linux container deployment automation, resources isolation, portability, and usability. These advances enable the SPLAShED platform to serve both as. This chapter explores assignments as a case study: an Android based software design assignment. This case study shows how the SPLAShED platform will able to accommodate and facilitate advanced Software Development courses with features and abilities currently not available.

Xml Data

Data warehousing and OLAP applications must nowadays handle complex data that are not only numerical or symbolic. The XML language is well-suited to logically and physically represent complex data. However, its usage induces new theoretical and practical challenges at the modeling, storage and analysis levels; and a new trend toward XML warehousing has been emerging for a couple of years. Unfortunately, no standard XML data warehouse architecture emerges. In this chapter, the authors propose a unified XML warehouse reference model that synthesizes and enhances related work, and fits into a global XML warehousing and analysis approach we have developed. They also present a software platform that is based on this model, as well as a case study that illustrates its usage.
