Issues related to the curriculum design of C programming language is analysed. Aspects and necessity of programming for engineers is discussed. The enhanced outlay of programming for engineers and generating the curriculum is presented. Relativity and dependency briefly highlighted. A superlative teaching model of computer languages is discussed along with its principles. In-Lab monitoring technique is developed successfully using client-server architecture which ensures learner live workshop progress. It is shown how the programming for engineer's curriculum design and techniques help to create highest quality outcome.

Event-Based Systems (EBS) can efficiently analyze large streams of sensor data in near-realtime. But they struggle with noise or incompleteness that is seen in the unprecedented amount of data generated by the Internet of Things. We present a generic approach that deals with uncertain data in the middleware layer of distributed event-based systems and is hence transparent for developers. Our approach calculates alternative paths to improve the overall result of the data analysis. It dynamically generates, updates, and evaluates Bayesian Networks based on probability measures and rules defined by developers. An evaluation on position data shows that the improved detection rate justifies the computational overhead.

The article presents the design of an application interface for associated medical data visualization and management for neurologists in a stroke clustering and prediction system called Stroke MD. The goal of the system is to facilitate efficient visual data introduction and knowledge extraction based on a predictive model implementation. Aspects such as quality of the visualized data, type of the viewed data (risk factor groups, clustered groups, data alerts, conclusions etc.) and efficient user-software interaction directly influenced decisions about system design, in particular the design of the doctor's/patient's user interface sides, input methods and user-software interaction techniques, ending in to a hybrid setup of interface.

Background: Embryo selection procedure is one of the critical success factors in in vitro fertilization treatment. Various embryo selection technologies have emerged within the past decade. These technologies are either used in combination with morphology or introduced to replace the conventional morphological evaluation. This review aims at investigating the effect of these novel embryo selection technologies on in vitro fertilization success rates. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed among full-text English articles in the PubMed database. Study selection was based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical effectiveness of the selected studies was measured in terms of implantation, pregnancy, live birth, and multiple pregnancy rates. Results: Five studies were identified that fitted the inclusion criteria. In these studies, researchers used aneuploidy screening, metabolomic profiling, and time-lapse imaging analysis as the new technologies. Among these studies, the one that conducted a randomized controlled trial of a commercial time-lapse imaging system demonstrated significant improvement in implantation rate. Conclusion: Studies using emerging technologies for embryo assessment provide promising results in retrospective analysis. On the other hand, randomized controlled trial studies that test the efficacy of novel embryo selection techniques in clinical practice failed to demonstrate a consistent improvement in the resulting success rates. This review provides a snapshot of the most recent literature on embryo assessment and embryo selection studies. Our findings show that there is a lack of comparative measurements and analyses that are able to assess benefits of the novel technologies in the field of embryo selection.

Cloud Computing is a new technology that has rapidly established itself in computerscience since it allows the usage of huge computing resources that are dynamically allocated in order to satisfy user's needs and that are accessible as a service through a remote interface, such as a web browser. Cloud resources can be distributed in different places and such distribution is made transparent to the user;this one does not need to worry about data replication and/or maintenance of the infrastructure but he/she benefits only of the required services, by exploiting the Pay-Per-Use business model. In this context, the interoperability among different providers becomes critical due to the vendor lock-in problem. Here we present a multi agent system that accesses, on behalf of the user, the utility market of Cloud computing to maintain the best resources configuration that satisfies the application requirements. It also offers management and monitoring facilities for the Cloud infrastructure in order to guide the user in all the phases of the application's lifecycle. Together with the platform, we present client-side tools that can be used to orchestrate agents' based services.

Procedural content generation (PCG) is a research field on the rise, with numerous papers devoted to this topic. This paper presents a PCG method based on a self-adaptive evolution strategy for the automatic generation of maps for the real-time strategy (RTS) game Planet Wars. These maps are generated in order to fulfill the aesthetic preferences of the user, as implied by her assessment of a collection of maps used as training set A topological approach is used for the characterization of the maps and their subsequent evaluation: the sphere-of-influence graph (SIG) of each map is built, several graph-theoretic measures are computed on it, and a feature selection method is utilized to determine adequate subsets of measures to capture the class of the map. A multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is subsequently employed to evolve maps, using these feature sets in order to measure distance to good (aesthetic) and bad (non-aesthetic) maps in the training set. The so-obtained results are visually analyzed and compared to the target maps using a Kohonen network.

Sum of squares (SOS) optimization has been a powerful and influential addition to the theory of optimization in the past decade. Its reliance on relatively large-scale semidefinite programming, however, has seriously challenged its ability to scale in many practical applications. In this paper, we introduce DSOS and SDSOS optimization as more tractable alternatives to sum of squares optimization that rely instead on linear programming and second order cone programming. These are optimization problems over certain subsets of sum of squares polynomials and positive semidefinite matrices and can be of potential interest in general applications of semidefinite programming where scalability is a limitation.

Optical character recognition(OCR) can be used in some management mechanisms of state and business world to organize documents scanned or captured by camera. Therefore, OCR is one of the subjects rapidly evolving in the recent times. This study investigates the procedure steps until character recognition. That's because, the more correctly preprocessings are applied;the better results can be obtained in character recognition. In this study, the algorithms providing the best results are determined by following the procedure stages of gray scale transformation, noise removal and image thresholding. Binarization plays an important role in character recognition. For this reason, algorithms dynamically determine thresholds are preferred for character recognition in this study. Accordingly, Otsu thresholding method was determined to give the best results in terms of both picture quality and speed. Therefore, this method was used for character recognition. Primarily, lines were determined for character separation and then letters were individually obtained.
