Process in software engineering is a growing concern for many software development organizations. The need for well-educated software engineers is bringing new software engineering programs to universities. In many programs, software process education adds up to a few hours of lectures in an introductory software engineering course. This paper presents the structure and the content for a full, ...

Education in architecture requires access to a broad range of architectural learning material to develop flexibility and creativity in design. The learning material is compromised of digital information captured in textual and visual media including single images, videos, description of architectural concepts or complete architectural projects, i.e. digital artifacts on different aggregation le...

In this paper we promote a document-oriented approach to the development of contentintensive applications (i.e., applications that critically depend on the informational contents and on the characterization of the contents’ structure). This approach is the result of our experience as developers in the educational and in the hypermedia domains, as well as in the domain of knowledge-based systems...

Today’s Internet content providers primarily use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to deliver content to end-users with the aim to enhance their Web access experience. Yet the prevalent commercial CDNs, operating in isolation, often face resource over-provisioning, degraded performance, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations, thus incurring high operational costs and limiting the scope and...

Semi-structured documents formatted with the extensible markup language (XML) are gaining wide use by a whole range of applications including E-Commerce, E-Business, EScience, Digital Libraries (DL), File Sharing, and in the last years especially by applications for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. P2P architectures have been identified as an efficient means of ad-hoc collaboration and information s...

The eXtensible Markup Language (XML)1 is the emerging standard for representing knowledge in almost arbitrary applications. At least almost every kind of knowledge can be represented in XML. The major purpose of XML markup is the explicit representation of the logical structure of a document. From an information retrieval (IR) point of view, users should benefit from the structural information ...

Teachers’ knowledge for implementing constructivist instruction with technology is termed as their constructivist-oriented technological pedagogical content knowledge. There are currently no available surveys for understanding teachers’ perceptions in this aspect. Therefore, teachers’ perceived knowledge gaps in terms of constructivist-oriented technology integration are not well understood. Us...
