The U.S. National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges for Engineering report has received a great deal of attention from legislators, policymakers, and educators, but what does it entail for social justice considerations in engineering? This article situates the Grand Challenges report as a cultural artifact of the engineering profession—an artifact that works to reinforce engineering’s p...

In this position paper, I introduce five grand challenges in the development of networked digital games. While this list is not intended to be exhaustive, I argue that these challenges are significant in that they are holding back the development of the next generation of innovative games.

The adoption of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework is a challenging task for many IT service provider organizations. Many government organizations in Finland have also started to use ITIL and need help in configuring tools and defining processes. The research problem of this study is: What types of challenges exist in the IT service provider’s customer support? The main contribution of ...

This paper proposes an emotion recognition system. Human emotion can be expressed through many kinds of medium such as speech, image, facial expression, and so forth. This paper focuses on the textual data of them. Proposed system is a hybrid system that uses alternatively two methods, keyword-based and machine learning method. Keyword-based methods are traditional approaches using emotional ke...

With ever advancing in digital system, security has been emerged as a major concern. Many researchers all around the world come up with solutions to address various challenges that are crucial for industry and market. The aim of this survey is a brief review of challenges of security validation as well as define and classify Hardware Trojans. Then, we provide more details about various validati...

Infrared Functional Imaging was applied to the study of Raynaud’s Phenomenon obtaing a simultaneous assessment of the thermal properties of all five fingers of both hands of a group of patients with respect of a control group. The method is based on the use of high-resolution telethermography imaging and allows identification of objective parameters from the re-warming curves of finger immediat...

It is now time to begin the study of personal genome services based on the interdisciplinary theories and technologies of genomics and artificial intelligence (AI). Although recently much attention has been given to personal genome services for realizing personal medicine, little systematic research has been done on their communication and computational aspects for intelligent wellness service ...

Embedded system is a computing device with a combination of both hardware and software designed mostly for a single task and it is applied in various devices used in biomedical applications that directly involves in diagnosis, prognosis, patient management and telemedicine. Here, this mini-review addresses the embedded system technologies and their biomedical applications and discusses future c...
