Enhancing virtual reality systems with smart wearable devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
The proliferation of wearable and smartphone devices with embedded sensors has enabled researchers and engineers to study and understand user behavior at an extremely high fidelity, particularly for use in industries such ...
A utility-based adaptivity model for mobile applications
(2007)
Mobile environments are characterized by resource fluctuations and limitations, and variations in user preferences. Therefore mobile applications need to be adaptive to retain usability, usefulness and reliability. In our ...
Video SIMDBench: Benchmarking the Compiler Vectorization for Multimedia Applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions become popular in computer architectures as a simple and efficient way to exploit the data parallelism hidden in applications. The compiler research community has proposed ...
A general framework for argumentation-based negotiation
(2008)
This paper proposes a unified and general framework for argumentation-based negotiation, in which the role of argumentation is formally analyzed. The framework makes it possible to study the outcomes of an argumentation-based ...
Making decisions through preference-based argumentation
(2008)
Decision making is usually based on the comparative evaluation of different alternatives by means of a decision criterion. The whole decision process is compacted into a criterion formula on the basis of which alternatives ...

E-commerce engineering: A short vs long software process for the development of e-commerce applications
(Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Instituto Politecnico de Setubal, 2003)
The immediacy in developing e-commerce applications, the quality of the services offered by these systems band the need for continuous evolution are primary issues that must be fully analysed and understood prior and during ...
Enamine-Based Hydrophilic Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: Effects of pH, and Copolymer Composition and Concentration on the Aqueous Swelling Degrees and the Gel Formation Times
(2015)
In this work, we explore the formation in water of dynamic covalent polymer networks cross-linked via enamine groups. The polymer networks resulted from the combination of pairs of chemically complementary hydrophilic ...
Key issues for the design and development of mobile commerce services and applications
(2005)
This paper suggests a new approach for developing m-commerce services and applications based on a scheme that divides m-applications into directory- and transaction-oriented classes, identifies mobile user requirements, ...
Synthesis and characterization of reversible and self-healable networks based on acylhydrazone groups
(2014)
A series of seven dynamic covalent networks based on pentaerythritol tetra(benzohydrazide) and 1,10-decanediol dibenzaldehyde were prepared in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The equilibrium degree of swelling in DMF and the ...
