This work deals with the issue of understanding a user’s behaviour as this is expressed via a gamified application. The notion of ontologies and the association of concepts in relevance to decisions that have to be made is used. The current work introduces a new process-based approach, based on collected large log files and associations…

Students are usually unaware of their own skills. They choose to follow the trend, rather than the proper pathway. Which negatively a_ects the professional sector, and the development of the country. Orienting students, and guiding them would o_er considerable benefits. Building the appropriate student’s profiles is the golden key for an accurate orientation. To do…

Tactile displays are widely used in the rehabilitation and education of blind persons, as it is one of the media of communication amongst them. Tactile display performance is measured in terms of accuracy in presenting pattern, accuracy in identification, recognition and reading time of presented pattern. However, it has had meager attention from researchers. This…
