This paper reports on ixiQuarks; an environment of instruments and effects that is built on top of the audio programming language SuperCollider. The rationale of these instruments is to explore alternative ways of designing musical interaction in screen-based software, and investigate how semiotics in interface design affects the musical output. The ixiQuarks are part of external libraries avai...

There has been anecdotal evidence that failures from testing may be dependent upon the software/hardware platform used to test the target software. We have been involved in the research of testing Graphics User Interfaces (GUIs) [1,2,3], and have established that GUI failures do indeed depend upon the computer platform. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the computer platform parameters...

The name Alview is a contraction of the term Alignment Viewer. Alview is a compiled to native architecture software tool for visualizing the alignment of sequencing data. Inputs are files of short-read sequences aligned to a reference genome in the SAM/BAM format and files containing reference genome data. Outputs are visualizations of these aligned short reads. Alview is written in portable C ...

This paper discusses the problems faced with interoperability between two programming languages, with respect to GNU Octave, and GTK API written in C, to provide the GTK API on Octave.Octave-GTK is the fusion of two different API’s: one exported by GNU Octave [scientific computing tool] and the other GTK [GUI toolkit]; this enables one to use GTK primitives within GNU Octave, to build graphical...

Graphical User Interface (GUI) is pervasive to the extent that half of the code of the software systems written today is to produce the required GUIs. Test case generation for GUI based software systems is complex as it is necessary to include all possible sequences of events that may be exercised by the widget or end-user. The major issue with GUI based systems is that even a single change in ...

Q1. What do you mean by computer graphics? Ans. The branch of science and technology concerned with methods and techniques for converting data to or from visual presentation using computers. Q3.What do you mean by interactive computer Graphics? Ans. Interactive computer Graphics like a website, it is only useful if it is browsed by a visitor and no two visitors are exactly alike. It means the w...

In the last decades, some useful contributions have occurred to human-computer interfaces and e-learning system developments such as adaptation, personalization, ontological modeling, as well as, learning object repositories. The aim of this paper is to present the advantages of integrating ontologies as knowledge representation scheme in order to support adaptable and adaptive functionalities ...

Mostly of today’s computer users interact with the software through a graphical user interface (GUI). In software engineering, software testing and quality have become a topic of major concern. Software testing is today an important stage in software projects and GUI testing is also crucial to the solution ́s quality. Nevertheless, GUI testing is not an easy task, it ́s very time consuming and to...
