The nature of evolving software development strategies and environments poses unique difficulties to teaching related subjects as university courses. These challenges limit chances for students to gain professional international experience. ...

We present results of an in-depth survey of nearly 100 introductory programming (CS1) instructors in 18 countries spanning six continents. Although CS1 is well studied, relatively few broadly-scoped studies have been conducted, and none prior have ...

This paper reports on students’ experiences in a cooperative, virtual course in global software engineering. A hybrid course to teach global software engineering which was conducted collaboratively as a cooperation between two universities in Japan and ...

As a premier international association for professionals, academics, and students who are interested in Human-Computer Interaction, SIGCHI has always been committed to diversity and inclusion. Over the years, SIGCHI Conferences have provided various ...

In an age of geographically distributed software development teams, international communication skills are becoming ever more important to IT students. During the Covid-19 pandemic, contact and travel restrictions have made it almost impossible for ...

In the fall of 2019, a team of researchers formed to answer a series of questions in regard to CSE (Computer Science Education) graduate students. What career pathways existed for them and what did they envision for their futures? What opportunities had ...

With increased big data and computing power, machine learning is predominantly used for classification to object detection and forecasting of phenomena and relationships. Forecasting, mapping and impact assessment of flood events is one such area where ...

In this paper, we demonstrate our Global Personalized Recommender (GPR) system for restaurants. GPR does not use any explicit reviews, ratings, or domain-specific metadata but rather leverages over 3 billion anonymized payment transactions to learn user ...

The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) is one of the oldest and largest SIGs, and the SIGCSE Technical Symposium is the oldest and largest of the four SIGCSE conferences. However, the vast majority of Symposium attendees ...

It takes only high-school physics to appreciate that the resistance of a wire grows with a diminishing cross section, and a quick look at any plot about Moore's law immediately suggests that such cross section must decrease over time. Clearly, everyone ...

The traditional global tourism information query method cannot mine the internal relevance of discrete information, which leads to the problem of inaccurate query results and long query response time. This paper proposes a method of global tourism ...

The global (absolute) stability of nonlinear systems with fractional positive and not necessarily asymptotically stable linear parts and feedbacks is addressed. The characteristics u = f(e) of the nonlinear parts satisfy the condition k₁e ≤ f(e) ≤ ...

This study examines data from 35 countries and 24 industries to understand the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance. Previous studies report conflicting evidence: some find that gender-diverse firms experience more positive ...

Path planning problem (PPP) deals with finding an optimized path between a source and a goal point. Global path planning (GPP) for Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), provides an optimized predefined path to reach the desired destination of the AUV. ...

The primal-dual hybrid gradient method, modified (PDHGM, also known as the Chambolle--Pock method), has proved very successful for convex optimization problems involving linear operators arising in image processing and inverse problems. In this paper, we ...

Students of software engineering need to learn the skills necessary to work together in geographically distributed, international teams. Both at the bachelor's and master's degree levels, students need to learn the intercultural and project management ...

Tactile graphics play an essential role in knowledge transfer for blind people. The tactile exploration of these graphics is often challenging because of the cognitive load caused by physiological constraints and their complexity. The coupling of ...

Global software engineering poses unique challenges to distributed teams and tasks. Engineering education should reflect these real-world scenarios as closely as possible. Due to budgetary constraints and the complexity of conducting global software ...

The purpose of this paper was twofold, (1) to explore how e-Government is currently performing from a global perspective, and (2) to discover which countries or regions are performing poorly in terms of e-Government initiatives. Therefore, this paper ...

This work provides a formal assessment on the pessimism of existing methods for the schedulability analysis of multicores with global fixed priority (FP) scheduling. We show how according to the existing analysis methods for FP scheduling, it is ...
