Abstract This text is designed to give the reader a helping hand in writing scientific paper. It provides generic advice on ways that paper can be improved. The focus following ethical and non-technical issues: (1) when start writing, what language; (2) how choose good title; (3) should included various sections (abstract, introduction, experimental, results, discussion, conclusions, supporting...

Pattern languages where originally conceived by the architecture community (Alexander, 1977) and since the early 1990’s have been widely used to document software development practise. While most of these patterns have centred on the technical aspects of software some authors have moved beyond the purely technical aspects, e.g. Coplien and Harrison (2003) have used patterns to discuss issues of...

This technical report describes the methods used to extract closure phase from CLIMB data and visibility amplitude from both the CLASSIC and CLIMB beam combiners. It also includes a rather exhaustive description of the theory behind these methods. This high degree of detail is partly because previous publications of this theory contain errors, and partly because having done all this work it’s n...

Wikis have been recently promoted as tools that foster collaborative learning. However, there has been little research devoted to the criteria that are suitable to address issues pertinent to collaborative learning. This paper proposes a set of criteria to explore technical and pedagogical usability issues of collaborative learning with wikis. The criteria are then used to evaluate students’ co...

In the ITEA2 Do-It-Yourself Smart Experiences project (DIY-SE), we are required to design an ontology-based ambient computing environment to support users to DIY their personalized solutions. In this paper, we illustrate how to manage data semantics using Semantic Decision Table (SDT). We use a simple rule writing language called Decision Commitment Language (DECOL) to store the SDT commitments...

The experience of work in BioImpacts and direct involvement in whole the process of publication inspired us to tackle here the dimensions which we recognize as problematic areas in publication, namely, scientific setbacks, language and technical issues. Authors besides readers as competent future authors are urged not to neglect the significance of well-writing either through considering the la...

This paper describes an interactive audio-visual musical installation, namely MOTUS, that aims at being deployed using low-cost hardware and software. This was achieved by writing the software as a web application and using only hardware pieces that are built-in most modern personal computers. This scenario implies in specific technical restrictions, which leads to solutions combining both tech...
