Reading Architectural Utopia(nism)s: A Proposal

A method proposal for architectural reliability evaluation

Software quality characteristics, such as reliability, maintainability, usability, portability, among others, are directly determined by software architecture and, in consequence, it constitutes a very important artifact to be evaluated as soon as a general design is obtained. This article proposes a method to estimate software reliability by evaluating software architecture. Our method combine...

When Recommenders Met Big Data: An Architectural Proposal and Evaluation

Nowadays, scalability is a critical factor in the design of any system working with big data. In particular, it has been recognised as a main challenge in the construction of recommender systems. In this paper, we present a recommender architecture capable of making personalised recommendations using collaborative filtering in a big data environment. We aim to build highly scalable systems with...

Reading Group Robust Optimization & Robust Control Synthesis Brief Proposal

This document provides a brief proposal for “Robust Optimization & Robust Control Synthesis” reading group.

Proposal for standardizing direct-reading biosensors for blood glucose.

Direct-reading glucose biosensors sense molality (glucose per unit water mass) in the sample. With aqueous calibration, a direct-reading glucose biosensor produces higher results in blood and plasma than methods measuring concentration, theoretically by the ratio of water concentrations in calibrator and sample. To confirm this, we measured glucose in 14- blood and 40 plasma samples with the di...
