This paper addresses the issue of connecting people online to help them find support with their day-to-day problems. We make use of declarative norms for mediating online interactions, and we specifically focus on the issue of leveraging…
As access to the internet has become increasingly ubiquitous, along with the reliability and speed of internet providers, so too has the implementation of internet-based learning tools. These tools provide students opportunities to do…
University students' day-to-day lives largely depend on transportation. Public transit alternatives are not widely available in the United States' small-town, rural, and suburban collegiate environments (U.S.). This study disseminated an…
The maker movement embodies a resurgence in DIY creation, merging physical craftsmanship and arts with digital technology support. However, mere technological skills and creativity are insufficient for economically and psychologically…
We present our experience with a data science problem in Public Health, where researchers use social media (Twitter) to determine whether the public shows awareness of HIV prevention measures offered by Public Health campaigns. To help the…
AI-driven applications have become woven into students' academic and creative workflows, influencing how they learn, write, and produce ideas. Gaining a nuanced understanding of these usage patterns is essential, yet conventional survey and…
Interdisciplinary PhD programs can be challenging as the vital information needed by students may not be readily available, it is scattered across university's websites, while tacit knowledge can be obtained only by interacting with people.…
To keep up with demand, servers will scale up to handle hundreds of thousands of clients simultaneously. Much of the focus of the community has been on scaling servers in terms of aggregate traffic intensity (packets transmitted per…
The conventional electricity grid system has many critical issues, which could lead to power instability, blackout, and many other issues. One main perspective is to consume the relative amount of distributed renewable energy in the…
