The documentation of popular APIs is spread across many formats, from vendor-curated reference documentation to Stack Overflow threads. For developers, it is often not obvious from where a particular piece of information can be retrieved. To understand this documentation landscape, we systematically conducted Google searches for the elements of ten popular APIs. We found that their documentatio...

Environment sensing systems and positioning systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System) are requirements for logistics supply chains, especially refrigerated cargo systems that require environment sensing data. In this paper, we state our system requirements and compare our proposed solution with other existing solutions. Our proposed system focuses on the cold chain tracking system to prov...

Online recommender systems are useful for media asset management where they select the best content from a set of media assets. We have developed an architecture for 360-MAMSelect, a recommender system for educational video content. 360MAM-Select will utilise sentiment analysis and gamification techniques for the recommendation of media assets. 360-MAMSelect will increase user participation wit...

As our society farther expands, there has been many supports for second-class citizens, disabled. One of many supports that is urgent is the guarantee of mobility for blind people. There has been many efforts but even now, it is not easy for blind people to independently move. In this paper, it constructs and materializes the navigation system for blind people in order to provide precise locati...

This paper deals with dynamic visualization of folktales on a map. The visualization is performed using a coupling of dynamic simulation with the google earth API. The simulation is based on the DEVS (Discrete EVent system Specification) formalism. We have defined a set of basic models to perform visualization of folktales using a software framework called DEVSimPy. DEVSimPy is a framework dedi...

The development of web applications that manipulate geo-referenced information is often supported by Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), allowing a fast development cycle for high quality applications. APIs can be used by programmers with different expertise levels and choosing an adequate API may have a dramatic impact on the productivity achieved by those programmers. Our goal is to co...
