We describe how we plan to convert a traditional data collection sensor and ocean model into a DDDAS enabled system for identifying contaminants and then reacting with different models, simulations, and sensing strategies in a symbiotic manner. The sensor is just as useful in water as it would be on Mars for material identification. A successful terrestrial application of the sensor will lead t...

With an increase in the interest in the energy conservation for buildings, and the emergence of many methods and easily-understandable approaches to it, energy conservation has now become the public’s main interest, as compared to in the past when it was only focused upon by experts. This study aims to help the occupants of a building to understand the energy efficiency and consumption of the b...

Functional illiteracy rates amongst 16 to 65 year-olds in the world’s richest countries are alarmingly high. This research looks at the use of mobile technology to support experiential adult literacy education whereby adult literacy students are able to construct knowledge throughout their daily activities whilst being supported in their daily literacy challenges. This research has two primary ...

When you are online, you provide information about yourself almost every step of the way. Often this information is like a puzzle with pieces that need to be connected before the full picture is revealed. Information you provide to one person or company may be combined with information you have provided to another person or company to complete the puzzle. This information can be collected throu...

UNLABELLED Computational biology and bioinformatics are gradually gaining grounds in Africa and other developing nations of the world. However, in these countries, some of the challenges of computational biology and bioinformatics education are inadequate infrastructures, and lack of readily-available complementary and motivational tools to support learning as well as research. This has lowered...

Researchers seeking to develop complex statistical applications for mobile devices face a common set of difficult implementation issues. In this work, we discuss general solutions to the design challenges. We demonstrate the utility of the solutions for a free mobile application designed to provide power and sample size calculations for univariate, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), GLIMMPSE...
