The paper presents a comparison between two unsupervised neural network models: (i) the well-known fuzzy ART, and (ii) AUTOWISARD, a new unsupervised version of the classic WISARD weightless neural network model. It is shown that AUTOWISARD is simple, fast and stable, whilst keeping compatibility with the original WISARD architecture. Experimental test results over binary patterns benchmarks have shown that, although both unsupervised learning models are remarkably simple, AUTOWISARD consistently exhibits better classification skills than fuzzy ART. It is also shown that such superiority happens thanks to AU-TOWISARD's richer internal representation of the trained patterns and the training methods employed by the algorithm, such as the learning window and partial training strategies.

In the era of Cloud platforms, microservices have multiplied, becoming a de facto standard for software reuse. With so many alternatives, a challenge still open is to find the most adequate one, given a set of requirements and priorities. In this context, we present DIRECTOR, a Cloud microservice selection framework based on different perspectives: technical, social and semantical. Emerging results prove that it can support software acquisition via discovery and comparison of microservices, being able to recommend the fittest among hundreds of candidates.
In real world applications of multiclass classification models, misclassification in an important class (e.g., stop sign) can be significantly more harmful than in other classes (e.g., no parking). Thus, it is crucial...

Many Americans lack even a rudimentary understanding of the principles underlying the technology essential for daily life. engineering concepts are pervasive in decision making within industry, government, education, and health care, yet most decisions in these sectors are made by people with little or no formal engineering education. This research will develop minors to be offered by engineering units as an approach to developing technological competence in non-engineers. A collaboration between Iowa State University, Ohio State University, Hope College, and Rice University is building on the promising results achieved in the Minor in engineering Studies program at Iowa State. The project goal is to develop the concepts and resources to support model minors which can be adopted efficiently and widely within American higher education. To facilitate adoption by other institutions, flexibility is a key objective of the intended guidelines. Since the appropriateness of using the name engineering in the context of a minor is subject to debate, the specific name of minor should be part of that flexibility. These degrees do not focus on teaching specific engineering technical content but on teaching students how to think like an engineer. The minor aims to develop the broad understanding and practical technological competence outlined by the National Academy of engineering in reports such as Technically Speaking. Thus decoupled from the engineering major, the Minor in engineering Studies at Iowa has attracted students majoring in business, communications, journalism, and design. Minors provide a recognized credential deemed attractive by many students. This work will develop a set of Technological Literacy Objectives and Outcomes for such a minor. These outcomes will be similar to the ABET a-k outcomes that are used for engineering degrees, but will be focused on developing technologically literate citizens. The anticipated use of a standard set of outcomes rather than a
