A hybrid machine learning (HML) model combining a-priori and a-posteriori knowledge is implemented and tested, which is shown to reduce the prediction error and training complexity, compared to an analytical or neural ...

We demonstrate practical software emulation of a software-defined, packetoptical network. Our emulator, Mininet-Optical, models the physical, data plane and control plane behavior, under control of the ONOS SDN controller.

We propose a single-stage downstream scheduler assuring accurate Quality of Service delivery across Virtual Network Operators in a multi-tenant PON. We show performance close to an ideal scheduler in the ability to control ...

Casual talk or social conversation is a fundamental form of spoken interaction. Corpora of casual talk often comprise relatively short dyadic conversations, although research into such talk has found longer multiparty ...

Public speaking is an important skill, the acquisition of which requires dedicated and time consuming training. In recent years, researchers have started to investigate automatic methods to support public speaking skills ...

This paper presents DELTA-LD, an approach that detects and classifies the changes between two versions of a linked dataset. It contributes to the state-of-art: firstly, by proposing a classification to distinctly identify ...

As the availability of technology developed for children with autism has increased, an awareness of the benefits of designing technology with them has also improved. However, the intellectual, communication and social ...

This chapter presents an investigation that compares the performance of game controllers in two-dimensional pointing tasks as defined in the international standard that specifies the requirements for nonkeyboard input ...

In the last decade, the number of articles on HCI and health has increased dramatically. We extracted 139 papers on depression, anxiety and bipolar health issues from 10 years of SIGCHI conference proceedings. 72 of these ...

Among several approaches aiming at the correctness of systems, model-checking is one technique to formally assess system models regarding their desired/undesired behavioural properties. We aim at model-checking the Open ...
