Fiber to the Home delivers the most future proof solution for fixed telecom access networks. This technology requires the installation of optical fiber in the last mile. However, the penetration of FTTH services is Europe is lagging, with only marginal uptake in most countries. One of the main causes of this low penetration is the higher initial installation cost for a fiber access network. Reg...

Users typically draw on multiple quality signals to overcome their uncertainties before installing smartphone applications. While several of such signals have been studied separately, research still lacks an integrated conceptual framework of signal classes and their relative importance for app installation likelihood. Drawing on signaling theory, a conjoint analysis of platform and environment...

This paper proposes a method for generating an animation of water droplets and their streams on a glass plate, such as a windowpane or windshield, taking into account the dynamics between fluid and solid. Water droplets run down an inclined glass plate if their masses are greater than a static critical weight. The streams from the droplets do not run straight down the glass plate but meander an...

Rain drastically modifies the visual environment of road users, particularly at night. It changes visibility through its effects on headlights, windshield, pavement and markings. Rain lessens the performance of headlamps and other light sources by filtering part of their luminous power, thus reducing the illuminance on the roadway ahead of the vehicle. Rain affects the capacity of the driver to...

This paper describes the processes involved in developing Pendula, an immersive installation and novel performance instrument, using three swings, gesture tracking, and an interactive audio/visual environment. A short overview of related work will be followed by the development and implementation process of Pendula as both an installation and performance instrument in a professional artistic co...

The use of industrial control systems in simulators facilitates the execution of engineering activities related with the installation and the optimization of the control systems in real plants. "Industrial control system" intends to be a valid term that would represent all the control systems which can be installed in an industrial plant, ranging from complex distributed control systems and SCA...
