This paper discusses the data mining of the genomics of the mouse that is an area of importance because of its relationship to understanding of basic genetics of other mammals and in particular the human as well as livestock genetics and its breeding. This paper overviews some of the research that has been performed on the mouse genome sequencing as well as what little has been done in the applications of using data mining to investigate this potentially viable area of interest to its relationship to other mammals and specifically humans. Conclusions and future directions of the research are presented.

Chalmers has adapted the Bologna model with a 3-year BSc (since 2004) and a 3-year MSc (since 2007). All MSc level studies are organised in ∼50 MSc programmes taught in English. This is part of our long term strategic development towards a full integration of the Bologna process. When Chalmers decided to develop the new MSc programmes the project IMPACT was established (2007-2009) to support this huge process. The main objectives of IMPACT was to 1) establish internationally competitive and attractive programmes for national as well as international students and 2) make students graduating from the programmes competitive in an international job market. IMPACT has supported over 100 pedagogic subprojects selected in an open and transparent application procedure. Near 90% of the resources were used by direct development work or training of staff in English presentation. This paper presents IMPACT's strategy, some subproject examples and quality assurance (sub-project applications and reports, yearly questionnaires, workshops and group interviews.) The overall impression is that IMPACT has enabled teachers to engage in pedagogical development beyond the regular curriculum development, strengthening the full range of Chalmers' programmes. Enrolment is steadily increasing (615 foreign students started in 2008) and the admitted students produce good results.

The worldwide videogame and interactive entertainment industry revenue is expected to reach over $50 billion in 2009 [2]. The majority of the effort in game development revolves around content creation and many resources are spent on it. Game companies construct or buy a set of content creation tools to aid the designers in their work. However, these tools only focus on the artwork, interfaces, game levels, and so on but none of them really focus on the content which is related to the gameplay or the game story, that is, the dynamic aspect of the game. Creating this story-related content, namely the scripts for the behavioral aspect in computer games, and translating this into appropriate program code is a very difficult task. For complex scripting, the developer has to resort to manually write code using scripting languages (i.e. Lua or Python). Furthermore, these languages are not tailored for games which also do not make them easier. Over the years, game developers have come up with many predefined (parts of) solutions to improve the development process [1][3]. In addition, in practice, people are also trying to avoid writing long scripts by using existing scripts and customizing them to fit their needs.

Severe image skewness, which is inevitable in text image acquiring, increases difficulties in image segmentation and decreases character recognition accuracy. In this paper, an improved skew angle estimation technique is presented. In addition, a novel technique of detecting and extracting text from camera-captured images is proposed to solve the following major obstacles in realizing the visual translation: low resolution, various brightness or grayscale, and perspective distortion, and moreover, involuted layouts and interaction of content mixed with the colorful background. As a result, the higher accuracy of camera-based visual translation is witnessed from the obtained testing results.

The environment of a university subject provides an opportunity to make process changes and check their effects. To prepare students for an industry placement year, groups of students developed a small but challenging application through a sequence of deliverable documents as well as the coded, functioning system. Over a number of years, software development processes were introduced and revised based on observations of student problems, learning outcomes and the quality of the delivered documents and system. The processes gradually changed from work instruction centred to decision-making centred. Additionally, the common process tasks, the majority, were identified as common. Some observations are made of the applicability of these changes to process based standards.

Laboratory instruction of embedded design at the freshman and sophomore level is difficult to incorporate while retaining the essential student learning experience of hardware interfacing. In this paper, a method of incorporating the hardware interfacing learning experience in an electrical and computer engineering curriculum is presented. The laboratory instruction is centered on the C8501F330-GP microcontroller and the ispM4A5 64/32 CPLD. The course development is the direct result of collaboration between engineering faculty at Hochschule Harz (University of Applied Studies and Research) in Wernigerode, Germany and Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia, USA that has been ongoing since 2006. The discussion that follows includes an overview of Silicon Laboratories C8051F330, an overview of the Lattice Semiconductor ispM4A5-64/32, a design review of a custom CPLD development board, and a discussion of how the development board and the microcontroller has been used in the laboratory to teach embedded design.
