Reconfigurable Computing, the second RAM-based machine paradigm offers drastic reduction of the electric energy budget and speedup factors by several orders of magnitude compared to using the von Neumann paradigm, now loosing its dominance. This paper advocates to introduce a dual paradigm transdisciplinary education by using Configware Engineering as the counterpart of Software Engineering. by...

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a diagrammatic notation widely used in the computing industry and often taught in universities as a way to represent software requirements specifications and design descriptions. In this paper we identify a number of problems associated with teaching UML and how we have minimised their impact by making use of the Executable/Translatable UML ( T UML). We d...

Pérez-Quiñones, Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech, Blacksbug, VA [email protected] 2 Ravikiran Vatrapu, Communication and Information Sciences, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we present an argument about why cultural issues need to be included in Computing curricula. We briefly discuss some of the literature in cult...

An incredible growth of the computing power, advances in microelectronics, telecommunication, and new software tools and techniques do allow us to have computers controlling, displaying, supporting, even, as some would like to have, thinking for us. In addition to a well established real time applications in military, aerospace, aviation, and medical systems, nowadays the consumer electronics i...

Computer science is in crisis in South Carolina. It is entirely possible that computer science is no more in crisis here than it is nationally, but that does not change the fact that computer science is in crisis. Our analysis here is not much different from that done by the Computer Science Teachers Association [CSTAa]; this means that if we can find solutions locally to problems that are nati...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

The Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology Management (JITM) is publishing very selective papers on information management, technology in higher education, integrated systems, enterprise management, cultural thoughts, strategic contributions, management information systems, and cloud computing. We received numerous papers for this special issue but after an extensive pe...

The main advantage of cloud computing is to reduce the IT cost. By using cloud computing, organisations do not have to set up an IT infrastructure, and instead are able to rent resources and give payment only for the using services. Even with the appealing of cloud computing benefits, it is still in infancy in developing countries due to many reasons. Technology adoption has been explored to a ...
