Application development for tiny, intelligent devices has to deal with considerable hardware limitations, especially with regard to storage capacity and communication facilities. Furthermore, most devices offer only very limited low-level programming interfaces, complicating the integration of small devices into large-scale architectures. This paper shows an efficient software mechanism for con...

The ubiquitous and pervasive use of lighting effects embedded into peripheral hardware has gained popularity through it’s use in Triple-A video game titles such as Call of Duty and the availability of software development kits (SDK) from leading manufacturers. A preliminary NASA TLX experiment was performed to examine the effect that notifications displayed on a peripheral device has, in compar...

This thesis develops and puts forth the principles of gradual awareness notification. It distinguishes the concepts of hard and soft notification, and defines situations where gradual awareness techniques can be of the most benefit. Furthermore, it applies gradual awareness principles to the desktop environment to produce slow-growth notification, a visual notification system relying on slowly ...

Model-driven engineering (MDE) is a promising paradigm to deal with the ever increasing complexity of modern software systems. Its powerful abstraction mechanisms allow developers to focus on the essential challenges hiding away irrelevant aspects of the system under development. Within the last few years, noticable progress has been made in putting the vision of MDE into practice, where the ac...

This paper presents an education framework to effectively develop crucial software engineering skills in students of the Telematics/Network Engineering curriculum at the Klagenfurt University of Applied Sciences. In order to establish such abilities we first lay a rather traditional lecture/lab-based foundation. On this grounds, a carefully designed project-centered approach bridges the gap bet...

Based on the old but famous distinction between"in the small"and"in the large"software development, at Nancy Universit\'e, UHP Nancy 1, we experience for a while software engineering education thanks to actual project engineering. This education method has the merit to enable students to discover and to overcome actual problems when faced to a large project which may be conducted by a large dev...

The “engineering” focus in software engineering education leaves instructors vulnerable to several traps. It also misleads students as to SE’s essential human and social dimensions. In this paper we argue that there’s more to SE than engineering. A major challenge is to reconcile the engineering dimension with the human and social dimension.

On this era, many patient go to the hospital and clinic because service is better than yesterday. If there are suffer a sickness on bed so will call nurse using bell treatment room hospital. The previous research uses cable connect with room. In we proposed new scheme that wireless call. minimize cable. This module Arduino. There consist of transmitter receiver module. system consists software ...
