Exhaustif® mainly consists of two parts: EEM and FIK. Exhaustif® Executive Manager (EEM) is a GUI Java application to define the fault injection campaign that uses a SQL database to save the test results obtained from the System under Test (SUT) in order to carry out a post injection data analysis. FIK is under the command of EEM to cary out fault injections in applications running under diverse operating systems using pure SWIFI techniques. Exhaustif® carries out floating point register and memory corruptions using temporary triggers and uses an optimized routine interception mechanism to carry out argument and return value corruption with a minimal time overhead. Two experimental Fault Injector Kernels (FIK) under the RTEMS operating system for an EADS-Astrium SPARC ERC32-based MCM processor board and i386 standard PC mainboard have been developed.","PeriodicalId":165011,"journal":{"name":"Euro American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128720615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is the case of the pedagogical effect that produces the use of the Concept Maps, which are considered a learning technique as a way to increase meaningful learning in the sciences. It is also used for the knowledge management as an aid to personalize the learning process, to exchange knowledge, and to learn how to learn. Concept Mapping provides a framework for making this internal knowledge explicit in a visual form that can easily be examined and shared. Concept Maps are relevant since they can be retrieved or adapted to new problems. In the other hand, Case-Based Reasoning as a technique in Artificial Intelligence plays an important role in knowledge retrieval and reuse of memories. In this paper the authors present a new approach to elaborate Intelligent Teaching/Learning Systems, where the techniques of Concept Maps and Artificial Intelligence are combined, using the Case-Based Reasoning as theoretical framework for the Student Model. The proposed model has been implemented in the computational system HESEI, which has been successfully used in the teaching/learning process by laymen in the Computer Science field.","PeriodicalId":165011,"journal":{"name":"Euro American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129583912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have extended the focus of the methods and techniques to component decision in supporting enterprise integration and ontology interoperability, to follow the nature of business performance.

{"title":"Creating animation with personal photo collections and map for storytelling","authors":"Hideyuki Fujita, M. Arikawa","doi":"10.1145/1352694.1352696","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1352694.1352696","url":null,"abstract":"The goal of our research is to support the sharing of stories with digital photographs. Some map sites are now collecting stories associated with peoples' relationships to places. Users are mapping collections of places including intangible emotional associations of places along with photographs, videos. Though this framework of mapping stories is important for accelerating individual creation and transmission of map content, it is not expressive enough to communicate stories narratively. For example, especially when the number of the mapped collections of places is large, it is not easy for viewers to read the map, and it is not easy for creators to express stories as series of events in the real world. That is because one narrative story in a form of a sequence of text narrations, a sequence of photographs, a movie, and an audio like podcasting, etc. is mapped to just one point. As a result, it's up to the viewers which point on the map to read, and in what order. The common framework is rather suitable for mapping and expressing fragments or snapshots of a whole story, and not suitable for expressing a whole story narratively by using a whole area of a map as the setting of the story. We therefore propose a new framework for mapping personal photo collections and constructing them as stories such as route guidances, sightseeing guidances, historical topics, fieldwork records, personal diaries, and so on. We named this framework as spatial slideshow. A spatial slideshow is a fusion of personal photo mapping and photo storytelling. Each story of a spatial slideshow is made of a sequence of mapped photographs, and presented as synchronized animations of a map and an enhanced photo slideshow. The main technical suggestion of this paper is a method for creating a three-dimensional animation of photo image which has a visual effect of moving from photo to photo. We have developed a personal photo album software and released it on the Web, which works as an editor and a browser of spatial slideshows. We assume the proposed framework has a significance of helping with grassroots development of spatial content driven by visual communications about places or events in the real world.","PeriodicalId":165011,"journal":{"name":"Euro American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130165632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study carried out by UFSC on the Moodle database allowed a deep understanding of its database, thus making it easier for the Moodle community to execute important tasks, such as the maintenance of the Moodle database, its adaptation following an institutional customization, and, also, a data mart project by the FGV-Online Program to make the necessary analysis possible. In the end of this paper, an example on its applicability is presented, using the association rules technique. Once a data mart oriented to the analysis of the system's usability is developed, various analyses with different objectives can be executed using the database. Some may use the method proposed here or others, including different data mining approaches, such as clustering, neural networks etc. As such, a new contribution is given to the Moodle community.","PeriodicalId":165011,"journal":{"name":"Euro American Conference on Telematics and Information Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114914131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
