With the maturation and widespread adoption of AOSD comes the need for patterns and best practices to solve re-curring problems. Such patterns have been documented in different publications. Besides a conclusive catalog, a sys-tem to relate the patterns and drive the process of pattern selection

high-dimensional patterns, such as handwritten characters, with minimal preprocessing. This paper reviews various methods applied to handwritten character recognition and compares them on a standard handwritten digit recognition task. Convolutional neural networks, which are specifically designed

is helpful for expressing design knowledge and fundamental decisions. Such a mapping has to bridge between the fields of requirements engineering, software architectural design, and software quality thus enabling reuse. In this paper the Goal Solution Scheme is discussed, which maps quality goals and goal

We introduce end-user programmers as a group of persons engaged in informal Computer Science education. Results of a small-scale survey for a previously unstudied population of end-users, users of graphics manipulation software, are presented. We find that graphic designers are taking part

is introduced. We create necessary definition specifications for the HTML system and a parser to retrieve link targets from a HTML document. Some examples of HTML versioning with Chrysant are shown.

Group messaging, web service, address-based capability, publish-subscribe, cryptography Existing group comm unication technologies do not aim at addressing security concerns in environments where non-tech-savvy end-users d ecide security configurations. This docum ent provides an answer to the fo llowing question: how to realize an intuitive and end-user configurable secure groupcommunication mechanism? We introduce a group comm unication service ca lled Group Messaging Web Service (GM WS). Clients access GMW S using a ran ge of devices like m obile dev ices, personal co mputers, an d web-connected printers. GMW S facilitates s eamless device-group communications in a secure and transpa rent m anner. GMW S will ena ble s peedy crea tion of m any rich user e xperiences involving multiple users and devices such as web-enabled mobile devices.

CircleView is a citation network browser that uses circles around circles as its visualization method to show a focus paper and two levels of its citation network. This method scales to varying numbers of papers and references, and has a structured layout that makes the visualization more readable. Bibliographic metadata is available via mouseover for all displayed papers. General requirements are presented for citation network visualization and navigation tools. An important requirement is the ability to integrate with existing institutional digital libraries, satisfied by CircleView’s use of web browser facilities for its user interface. CircleView is shown to have good visualization and performance scalability characteristics.

This paper gives a short overview of a project on Geographic Information Retrieval in developing countries in the form of an experience report based in Honduras. It provides some insights into encountered challenges of resource discovery, and georeferencing due to low Web coverage and informal location references as well as tested or proposed solutions to address them, including search via alternative means such as social networks.

“Recording Inner Life ” is the title of my master’s thesis. It is a system to express the “inner life ” (feelings, affects, and emotions) and record them on a long-term basis into a computational system. In contrast to a lot of the research in the field of affective computing this project is not dedicated to enable machines to detect human emotions but to allow an adequate input for emotions. It presents “MyInnerLife”, a physical input device to express and record emotions non-verbally. Author Keywords emotion, input, non-verbal, diary

predicated on the belief that information filtering can be more effective when humans are involved in the filtering process. Tapestry was designed to support both content-based filtering and collaborative filtering, which entails people collaborating to help each other perform filtering
