However non-availability of standard MATLAB and C/C++ computation routines and communication interface for general purpose programming restricted researchers and developers from easily utilizing the parallel computational ability of FPGAs in MATLAB and C/C++. In this article we propose a proof of concept implementation for software-hardware co-design that can be used with MATLAB and C/C++ to share the burden of intensified computing with the FPGA. Typical applications which can be divided into multiple tasks to be executed in parallel can be easily transferred to FPGA by utilizing the proposed method. Some of the applications which can efficiently use this concept are image processing, video processing, data encryption and data compression. Results obtained by using our method and routines implemented in software and hardware provide 50% to 100% computational acceleration, as compared to routines running in software on MATLAB running on a computer. The design and concept can aid developers to use FPGAs in combination with higher level computational languages such as MATLAB and C/C++.","PeriodicalId":179067,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Conference on Frontiers of Information Technology","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115961419","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}

Usman","doi":"10.1109/FIT.2013.20","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/FIT.2013.20","url":null,"abstract":"This paper is based on an industrial survey conducted on software engineer motivation as previous research shows that motivation is amongst the most frequently highlighted causes of software projects failure. Motivation greatly impacts practitioner's productivity. Yet motivation is mostly ignored in software engineering literature and practice. Researchers have conducted studies on motivation in software engineering mostly in western culture. There have been very few studies on motivation of software engineers from Asia. We have not been able to find any empirical study conducted on this subject in South Asia, which is an important region in information technology industry worldwide. We therefore decided to conduct an empirical study in Pakistan to identify factors that motivate or de-motivate software engineers. Given the nature of the research we used an online questionnaire based on Job Characteristic Theory to identify (de)motivational factors that affect software engineers at work place. Results are based on 306 responses. Results are relatively different from previous studies as most of the previous work is done in western countries. These differences are analyzed in the light of Hofstede's Cultural Dimension 5 Dimensional Model. National culture impacts factors that (de)motivate software engineers in a country. Software companies should follow culture sensitive steps to deal with (de)motivational factors affecting their software engineers.","PeriodicalId":179067,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Conference on Frontiers of Information Technology","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116427443","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}

Several techniques for fusing medical images have been developed, but lack of contrast and distortion of fine details remain important concerns. In this paper, we propose a novel two step medical image fusion scheme. In the first step, individual multi-scale fusion techniques are applied to obtain fused images. In the second step, the individual results are combined using weighted average, with local structural similarity measure used as weights. In this way, a superior quality fused image is obtained. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, several experiments were performed on PET-CT and MR-CT fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is capable of producing well-fused images as compared to individual multi-scale techniques i.e. discrete Wavelet transform, dual-tree complex Wavelet transform, Laplacian pyramid, Contour let transform and Curve let transform based fusion. Fused images were evaluated using multiple quality metrics. The proposed scheme demonstrated improvement of 3 to 4% in Mutual Information measure, around 2% in PSNR and 2 to 5% in a modified Universal Image Quality Index measure. Our results also scored well in other methods of evaluating fusion quality, namely Structural Similarity and Correlation.","PeriodicalId":179067,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th International Conference on Frontiers of Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124809757","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}
