We address the problem of analysing how users actually interact with software. Users are heterogeneous: they adopt different usage styles and each individual user may move between different styles, from one interaction session to another, or even during an interaction session. For analysis, we require new temporal analytics: techniques to model and analyse temporal data sets of logged interacti...

The integration of bibliographical information on scholarly publications available on the Internet is an important task in the academic community. Accurate reference metadata extraction from such publications is essential for the integration of metadata from heterogeneous reference sources. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical template-based reference metadata extraction method for scholarl...

There has been tremendous growth in Web-based instruction over the past few years. Because the user group of Web-based instruction includes learners from heterogeneous backgrounds, individual differences become an important issue in the development of Web-based instructional programs. Among a variety of individual differences, cognitive style is a particularly important characteristic. This stu...

The end of exponential scaling in conventional CMOS technologies has been forecasted for many years by now. While advances in fabrication made it possible to reach limits beyond those predicted, the so anticipated end seems to be imminent today. The main goal of the seminar 17061 “Wildly Heterogeneous Post-CMOS Technologies Meet Software” was to discuss bridges between material research, hardwa...

Incompatibility of component interaction styles is identified as a major obstacle to interoperability when using off-the-shelf components or dealing with legacy software in compositional development. It is argued that a language for defining abstract interfaces – AID – can serve as a basis for accommodating heterogeneous interaction styles. AID is independent of any concrete style, such as invo...

Complex control systems are heterogeneous from both an implementation and a modeling perspective. Design and simulation environments for such systems need to integrate different component interaction styles, like differential equations, discrete events, state machines, dataflow networks, and real-time scheduling. This paper motivates the use of Ptolemy II software environment for modeling and s...

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) seems to expand access education and it present too many advantages as: democratization of learning, openness all accessibility on a large scale, etc. However, this new phenomenon open learning suffers from the lack personalization; is not easy identify learners’ characteristics because their heterogeneous masse. Following increasing adoption styles as personal...
