Event understanding aims at understanding the content and relationship of events within texts, which covers multiple complicated information extraction tasks: event detection, event argument extraction, and event relation extraction. To…
The microservice architectural style has gained much attention from both academia and industry recently as a novel way to design, develop, and deploy cloud-native applications. This concept encourages the decomposition of a monolith into…
Collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) are used for collaboration and interaction of possibly many participants that may be spread over large distances. Both commercial and freely available CVEs exist today. Currently, CVEs are used…
Virtualization, after having found widespread adoption in the server and desktop arena, is poised to change the architecture of embedded systems as well. The benefits afforded by virtualization - enhanced isolation, manageability,…
Academic, peer-reviewed short papers are a common way to present a late-breaking work to the academic community that outlines preliminary findings, research ideas, and novel conversations. By comparison, blogging or writing posts on social…
Mobile agents research is clearly aiming towards imposing agent based development as the next generation of tools for writing software. This paper comes with its own contribution to this global goal by introducing a novel unifying framework…
Context-aware applications process context information to support users in their daily tasks and routines. These applications can adapt their functionalities by aggregating context information through machine-learning and data processing…
In recent years, tremendous effort has been spent to modernizing communication infrastructure in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) such as Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and related Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.…
This paper presents a novel framework for ubiquitous social networks (USNs). Instead of making virtual connections, on the basis of human social networks, an effort has been made to facilitate interactions among human social networks with…
Virtual meetings have long been the outcast of scientific interaction. For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic has only strengthened that sentiment as countless Zoom meetings have left us bored and exhausted. But remote conferences do not…
This paper reports on students' readiness for using Metaverse for education in a university in a developing country facing infrastructure and poverty challenges. Covid-19 forced many universities to adopt a hybrid approach to teaching and…
Virtualization promises significant benefits in security, efficiency, dependability, and cost. Achieving these benefits depends upon the reliability of the underlying virtual machine monitors (hypervisors). This paper describes an ongoing…
Use of online platforms for education is a vibrant and growing arena, incorporating a variety of software platforms and technologies, including various modalities of extended reality. We present our Enhanced Reality Teaching Concierge, an…
The Virtual Research Environment is an analysis platform developed at CERN serving the needs of scientific communities involved in European Projects. Its scope is to facilitate the development of end-to-end physics workflows, providing…
Delivering hands-on practice laboratories for introductory courses on operating systems is a difficult task. One of the main sources of the difficulty is the sheer size and complexity of the operating systems software. Consequently, some of…
We introduce Mephisto, a framework to make crowdsourcing for research more reproducible, transparent, and collaborative. Mephisto provides abstractions that cover a broad set of task designs and data collection workflows, and provides a…
Virtual reality simulation has become a popular approach for training and assessing medical students. It offers diverse scenarios, realistic visuals, and quantitative performance metrics for objective evaluation. However, creating these…
Minimalist market design is an economic design framework developed from the perspective of an outsider -- one seeking to improve real institutions without a commission or official mandate. It offers a structured, "minimally invasive" method…
FESTIM is an open-source finite element framework for modelling the transport of hydrogen isotopes in materials. It provides a flexible and extensible tool for simulating diffusion, trapping, surface interactions, and other processes that…
