An automatic Botnet detection and notification system is developed by National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC) in Taiwan to efficiently inform users of malware infections on their computers. Due to the involvement with manual work in current notification flow, the notification time may last for 48 to 60 hours. By the aid of our notification system, the infected bot can be notified ...

Supporting project awareness in the context of large-scale software development is difficult. One key problem is identifying appropriate abstractions and techniques for the insertion of project awareness mechanisms into a software development environment with minimal impact. An additional problem is scaling project awareness mechanisms to handle the demands of large-scale software development p...

In hierarchical task analysis, designers study and decompose the tasks users perform while interacting with a system. Overlooking task analysis can have serious consequences on the design outcome. By making tasks clear to the designers, we can leverage an in-depth understanding of a usage scenario. Resulting from task analysis is a task model that explicitly enumerates the low-level tasks and a...

Publish/subscribe infrastructures, specifically event notification services, are used as the basic communication and integration framework in many application domains. The majority of these services, however, provide poor or no extension mechanisms as well as insufficient configuration capabilities. As a consequence, different event notification servers have been developed previously to support...

Multimodal mobile notification can enable natural and implicit notification in a mobile context by adapting the output modality according to the user’s context. There are several existing models for adaptive mobile notification using context awareness. A comparison of two of these models identified several shortcomings. The IBM INS model was selected as the most appropriate model and extended t...

Notification systems are designed to inform users when certain events occur. The design of a notification system depends on the information it must keep track of and the manner used to alert a user. The challenge in this field of research is to determine what notification method is appropriate for any given situation. BrainStorm is a piece of software that facilitates the development of project...

Notification service is a popular functionality provided by almost all modern smartphone platforms. To facilitate customization for developers, many smartphone platforms support highly customizable notifications, which allow the third party applications to specify the trigger events, the notification views to be displayed, and the allowed user operations on the notification views. In this paper...

• automatic message reassembly even if packets arrive out of order, which allows use of adaptive-routing networks having greater throughput and fault-tolerance; • simple design: the interface can be implemented directly in hardware state machines for speed; • protection against node failures and rogue messages: eliminates need for per-message software checks; • a rich set of message-delivery no...

BACKGROUND Prevention and surveillance programs are key to contain Nosocomial Infections (Nis). At the European Institute of Oncology, surveillance based on ex-post data collection has been done since the inception of hospital activity; laboratory-based surveillance of microbiological alert was not standardized. This study describes the issues related to the recent introduction into the hospita...

Notification displays have the potential to make smartphone notifications easier to manage when a user is committed to a primary task. The authors investigate the impact of negotiating notifications with six notification displays on a typing task. The results from their lab experiment with 30 participants show that desktop pop-ups were preferred significantly most, the display choice that requi...
