Haptics: A Key to Fast Paced Interactivity

The word “haptics” is now well accepted. Hundreds of papers are published each year on the topic of haptic devices and interfaces. Haptics, as a technological niche, has become rich with opportunities and challenges. The field borrows from, and lends to, many subjects in science and technology. Among these, two are particularly relevant: “mechatronics” on one hand, and “robot-human interaction”...

A Multimodal Approach to Communicative Interactivity Classification

The problem of modality detection in so called communicative interactivity is addressed. Multiple audio and video recordings of human communication are analyzed within this framework, based on fusion of the extracted features. At the decision level, support vector machines (SVMs) are utilized to segregate between the communication modalities. The proposed approach is verified through simulation...

A Hybrid Intelligent Model to Increase the Accuracy of COCOMO

Nowadays, effort estimation in software projects is turned to one of the key concerns for project managers. In fact, accurately estimating of essential effort to produce and improve a software product is effective in software projects success or fail, which is considered as a vital factor. Lack of access to satisfying accuracy and little flexibility in existing estimation models have attracted ...

How to increase the Impact Factor of a Scientific Journal?

In this review article, the nature and uncertainties of the impact factor (IF) of scientific journals is discussed. Based on the citations of articles published in a journal during a given number of years, the impact factor has been used for purposes as different as that of evaluating the scientific journal, to helping to evaluate individual scientists, and as a tool for librarians to select jo...
