ABSTRACT: This paper explores the programming knowledge of novices using Biggs' SOLO taxonomy. It builds on previous work of Lister et al. (2006) and addresses some of the criticisms of that work. The research was conducted ...

Visual data mining is a promising way of dealing with the complexity of integrated data sets of various granularity and sizes. It looks at having an access to the entire data set in its most granular level. This paper ...

There are certain performance parameters like packet delay, delay variation (jitter) and loss, which are decision factors for online quality of service (QoS) traffic routing. Although considerable efforts have been placed ...

High accuracy and fast recognition speed are two requirements for real-time and automatic license plate recognition system. In this paper, we propose a hierarchically combined classifier based on an inductive learning based ...

A new algorithm for the precise estimation of the frequency of a complex exponential signal ill additive, complex, white Gaussian noise is presented. The algorithm has low computational complexity and is well suited for ...

This paper presents thoughts to extend our understanding of bodily aspects of technology interactions. The aim of the paper is to offer a way of looking at the role our kinaesthetic sense plays in human-computer ...

A new feature description is used for human behaviour representation and recognition. The feature is based on Radon transforms of extracted silhouettes. Key postures are selected based on the Radon transform. Key postures ...

In Web system development, the non-functional requirements (NFRs) are typically considered only briefly during the requirements elicitation stage and not rigorously articulated by either Web developers or the client. ...

In this paper, we propose an enhanced Fractal Image Compression (FIC) approach. In this method, the original image is represented by a provisional image and a difference image, which records the difference between ...

As part of an extensive research programme to combine the benefits of method engineering and existing object-oriented frameworks (notably the OPF) to create a highly supportive methodological environment for the construction ...
