Patient Interaction – for well-being, productivity and sustainability

2024-10-08

We live in aworld of instant results and fleeting gratification. In HCI no less: the designprinciples for direct manipulation require immediate feedback and, in the caseof graphical actions, sub-second responses. In addition, computers expect us togive them our undivided atten...

A general framework for distributed approximate similarity search with arbitrary distances

2024-09-26

While many similarity search algorithms are specifically adapted to metric distances,they are unsuitable for alternatives like the cosine distance, which has gained popularity, particularly with embeddings and text mining. To address thisissue, we propose GDASC (General Distri...

Model-Driven Engineering Meets Model-Based Testing

2024-09-17

In this talk, I will focus on a connection between stable-failures refinement and the ioco conformance relation. Both behavioural relations underlie methodologies that have gained traction in industry: stable-failures refinement is used in several commercial Model-Driven Engin...

Cargo Cult Architecture: An Empirical Investigation into the Maintainability Benefits of Design Patterns

2024-05-24

There have been many claims for the benefits of using patterns in software design and implementation. In this research we were interested to understand whether adopting patterns positively affects a project's long-term maintainability, as measured by its feature velocity and ...

Runtime Metaphors of Software Development Tools

2024-04-24

Software developers utilize a wide range of features in their integrated development environments, such as text search, documentation views, or inline hints in the editor. Many of these features traditionally operate only on static representations of programs, i.e., their sour...
