Nondeterminism plays a central role in almost all fields of computer science. It has been incorporated naturally as well as in the theory of automata as a generalization of determinism. Although nondeterministic finite automata do not have more recognition power than deterministic ones their importance and usefulness is of no doubt. Unfortunately, the operation of the mathematical model of nond...

Many studies have emphasized the incorporation of active learning into classrooms to reinforce didactic lectures for physiology courses. This work aimed to determine if presenting classic papers during didactic lectures improves the learning of physiology among undergraduate students. Twenty-two students of health information technology were randomly divided into the following two groups: 1) di...

In this paper we will discuss the nature of a curriculum in Help Systems, how it can be used to guide users in opportunistic coaching, and, most importantly, how it can be generated automatically for EuroHelp domain models that do not provide such a didactic view. In EuroHelp, a shell for building Intelligent Help Systems for computer applications, curricula take the form of a network of Didact...

Requirements engineering education at universities is a fairly difficult issue for various reasons. Among the most prominent causes is a lack of authenticity, i.e. too artificial settings that do not adequately mirror the complexity of realworld situations. We present an approach to requirements engineering education that tries to avoid some of these shortcomings, in particular by including req...

In this paper wc first outline why pupils should be given the opportunity to visit and havc direct contact with the cultural heritage. We then propose some 'didactic itineraries' organized by museums and other cultural institutes which are aimed at specific subjects and ages of pupils. We illustrate the main organizational aspects and the people involved in the various stages of the project. 11...

Growth of research conducted over the past year involving the application of virtual worlds in the educational field enabled the development of didactic interventions, which aim to complement the learning process of students. Based on this assumption, this paper presents an analysis based on a systematic review of virtual worlds applied in the educational context seeking to highlight qualitativ...

Text-to-speech synthesis is the main subject treated in this work. It will be presented the constitution of a generic text-to-speech system conversion, explained the functions of the various modules and described the development techniques using the formants model. The development of a didactic formant synthesiser under Matlab environment will also be described. This didactic synthesiser is int...
