Abstract:
Many monitoring tools that help developers in analyzing the run-time behavior of their applications share a common shortcoming: they require their users to have a fair amount of experience in monitoring applications to understand the used terminology and the available analysis features. Consequently, novice users who lack this knowledge often struggle to use these tools efficiently. In this paper, we introduce the guided exploration (GE) method that aims to make interactive monitoring tools easier to use and learn. In general, tools that implement GE should provide four support operations on each analysis step: they should automatically (1) detect and (2) highlight the most important information on the screen, (3) explain why it is important, and (4) suggest which next steps are appropriate. This way, tools guide users through their analysis processes, helping them to explore the root cause of a problem. At the same time, users learn the capabilities of the tool and how to use them efficiently. We show how GE can be implemented in new monitoring tools as well as how it can be integrated into existing ones. To demonstrate GE's feasibility and usefulness, we present how we extended the memory monitoring tool AntTracks to provided guided exploration support during memory leak analysis and memory churn analysis. We use these guidances in two user scenarios to inspect and improve the memory behavior of the monitored applications. We hope that our contribution will help usability researchers and developers in making monitoring tools more novice-friendly by improving their usability and learnability.

Abstract:
Abstract Optimizers in commercial electromagnetic (EM) simulation software packages are the main tools for performing antenna design exploration today. However, these general purpose optimizers are facing challenges in optimization efficiency, supported optimization types and usability for antenna experts without deep knowledge on optimization. Aiming to fill the gaps, a new antenna design exploration tool, called Antenna Design Explorer (ADE), is presented in this paper. The key features are: (1) State-of-the-art antenna design exploration methods are selected and embedded, addressing efficient antenna optimization (critical but unable to be solved by existing tools) and multiobjective antenna optimization (not available in most existing tools); (2) Human-computer interaction for the targeted problem is studied, addressing various usability issues for antenna design engineers, such as automatic algorithmic parameter setting and interactive stopping criteria; (3) Compatibility with existing tools is studied and ADE is able to co-work with existing EM simulators and optimizers, combining advantages. A case study verifies the advantages of ADE. Highlights A new antenna design exploration tool, called Antenna Design Explorer (ADE), is presented in this paper.

Abstract:
Introduction When children with physical impairments cannot perform hand movements for haptic exploration, they miss opportunities to learn about object properties. Robotics systems with haptic feedback may better enable object exploration. Methods Twenty-four adults and ten children without physical impairments, and one adult with physical impairments, explored tools to mix substances or transport different sized objects. All participants completed the tasks with both a robotic system and manual exploration. Exploratory procedures used to determine object properties were also observed. Results Adults and children accurately identified appropriate tools for each task using manual exploration, but they were less accurate using the robotic system. The adult with physical impairment identified appropriate tools for transport in both conditions, however had difficulty identifying tools used for mixing substances. A new exploratory procedure was observed, Tapping, when using the robotic system. Conclusions Adults and children could make judgements on tool utility for tasks using both manual exploration and the robotic system, however they experienced limitations in the robotics system that require more study. The adult with disabilities required less assistance to explore tools when using the robotic system. The robotic system may be a feasible way for individuals with physical disabilities to perform haptic exploration.

Abstract:
Recently, dramatic improvements in memory performance have been highly required for data demanding application services such as deep learning, big data, and immersive videos. To this end, the throughput-oriented memory such as high bandwidth memory (HBM) and hybrid memory cube (HMC) has been introduced to provide a high bandwidth. For its effective use, various research efforts have been conducted. Among them, the near-memory-processing (NMP) is a concept that utilizes bandwidth and power consumption by placing computation logic near the memory. In the NMP-enabled system, a processor hierarchy consisting of hosts and NMPs is formed based on the distance from the main memory. In this paper, an evaluation tool is proposed to obtain the optimal design decision considering the power-time trade-off in the processor hierarchy. Every time the operating condition and constraints change, the decision of task-level offloading is dynamically made. For the realistic NMP-enabled system environment, the relationship among HBM, host, and NMP should be carefully considered. Hosts and NMPs are almost hidden from each other and the communications between them are extremely limited. In the simulation results, popular benchmarks and a machine learning application are used to demonstrate power-time trade-offs depending on applications and system conditions.

Abstract:
Understanding the spatial and temporal characteristics of individual and group behavior in social networks is a critical component of visual tools for intelligence analysis, emergency management, consumer analysis, and human geography. Identification and analysis of patterns of recurring events is an essential feature of such tools. In this paper, we describe an interactive visual tool for exploring the visitation patterns of guests at two hotels in central Pennsylvania from 1894 to 1900. The centerpiece of the tool is a wrapping spreadsheet technique, called reruns, that reveals regular and irregular periodic patterns of events in multiple overlapping artificial and natural calendars. Implemented as a coordinated multiple view visualization in Improvise, the tool is in ongoing development through an iterative process of data collection, transcription, hypothesis, design, discovery, analysis, and evaluation in close collaboration with historical geographers. Numerous discoveries have driven additional data collection from archival newspaper and census sources, as well as plans to enhance analysis of spatial patterns using historic weather records and railroad schedules. Distributed online evaluations of usability and usefulness have resulted in feature and design recommendations that are being incorporated into the tool.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine research tool from the analytical exploration of existing literature and views on research tool design. The paper explores and analyzes research tool in relation to research types and philosophical paradigm. Tool is explored from the restricted sense of data collection of any form on the one. On the other, tool is seen in wider range of methods, techniques and strategies of inquiry to move beyond limitation. Study design involves systematic reviews of existing literature on tool design. Secondary data and information are collected from journals, books and publications related to research methodology. Research tool design is identified as both a study design and a procedure of data collections in many forms from diverse fields. Journal of NELTA Surkhet Vol.4 2014: 91-97

Abstract:
Architects and applications scientists often use performance models to explore a multidimensional design space of architectural characteristics, algorithm designs, and application parameters. With traditional performance modeling tools, these explorations forced users to first develop a performance model and then repeatedly evaluate and analyze the model manually. These manual investigations proved laborious and error prone. More importantly, the complexity of this traditional process often forced users to simplify their investigations. To address this challenge of design space exploration, we extend our Aspen (Abstract Scalable Performance Engineering Notation) language with three new language constructs: user-defined resources, parameter ranges, and a collection of costs in the abstract machine model. Then, we use these constructs to enable automated design space exploration via a nonlinear optimization solver. We show how four interesting classes of design space exploration scenarios can be derived from Aspen models and formulated as pure nonlinear programs. The analysis tools are demonstrated using examples based on Aspen models for a three-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform, the CoMD molecular dynamics proxy application, and the DARPA Streaming Sensor Challenge Problem. Our results show that this approach can compose and solve arbitrary performance modeling questions quickly and rigorously when compared to the traditional manual approach.

Abstract:
This article analyzes inner and marginal territories in four Italian peripheral contexts by first discussing some of the results and future steps of the “B4R Branding4Resilience” research project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Research from 2020 to 2023. The overall research is based on three phases: (1) the exploration phase to analyze socio-economic data and territorial dynamics; (2) the co-design phase involving local actors to develop ideas for a selected pilot case; (3) the co-visioning phase where a future transformative perspective for the whole area was shared with the institutions. The article focuses on phase 1 and presents some first results achieved by the application of a methodological approach based on the integration of different qualitative and quantitative tools and methods. The results outline the exploration of the four selected territories through data analyses and mapping, perceptive-narrative explorations, field research, and explorative designs. The concept of peripherality is addressed in a critical way, trying to go beyond standardized definitions, including interdisciplinarity as an essential tool for territorial enhancement and branding. The main interpretation findings not only outline possible strategies and actions for the four analyzed inner territories, but also foster the application of the proposed methodological approach in other complex socio-economic contexts.

Exploration is a fundamental aspect of learning. In computer-based systems, advanced interfaces to a rich information space can become a key element in this connection. Tools adaptable to different modes of exploring information and to the characteristics of different users are needed. In this article, the integration of hypermedia and natural language dialogue are discussed and reference is made to ALFRESCO, a natural language-centered multimodal system developed at IRST. The discussion is mainly focused on the role and the structure of the communicative context.

Abstract:
Kvik is an open-source framework that we developed for explorative analysis of functional genomics data from large epidemiological studies. Creating such studies requires a significant amount of time and resources. It is therefore usual to reuse the data from one study for several research projects. Often each project requires implementing new analysis code, integration with specific knowledge bases, and specific visualizations. Although existing data exploration tools are available for single study data exploration, no tool provides all the required functionality for multistudy data exploration. We have therefore used the Kvik framework to develop Kvik Pathways, an application for exploring gene expression data in the context of biological pathways. We have used Kvik Pathways to explore data from both a cross-sectional study design and a case-control study within the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) cohort. Kvik Pathways follows the three-tier architecture in web applications using a powerful back-end for statistical analyses and retrieval of metadata.In this note, we describe how we used the Kvik framework to develop the Kvik Pathways application. Kvik Pathways was used by our team of epidemiologists toexplore gene expression data from healthy women with high and low plasma ratios of essential fatty acids.

Nordic Test Beds (NoTeB) is a Nordic Innovation funded project to strengthen Nordic health care cooperation. By joining Nordic university hospitals and innovation centers, its aim has been to provide a Nordic test bed cooperation ecosystem that includes templates and tools for early decisional support. The objective of this study was to describe how the partners in the Nordic collaboration developed and agreed upon an early assessment framework in health care. The framework was also presented as a user guide with the aim of providing advisory guidelines accessible to health care institutions to support early assessment of health innovation. A co-creation process comprising all collaborating Nordic partners initiated by a workshop, sharing current practice and aligning needs and content of for a decision support tool. Large Nordic variation in value assessment approaches were found. For the decision-making tools, two important features were emphasized; the need for a decision support rather than a decision-making tool and that the tool should be based on valid measures; HTA- methodology. For the user guide, it was emphasized that it should be easily available in an easy-to-read report format. In conclusion, NoTeB was successful in uniting Nordic countries in a common objective to develop a decision-making tool and a user guide to assess health innovations. Although the tools and the guide are still to be tested, this is a first step in developing a standardized tool for innovation assessment among the Nordic countries.

Abstract:
The study of lithic technology can provide information on human cultural evolution. This article aims to analyse visual behaviour associated with the exploration of ancient stone artefacts and how this relates to perceptual mechanisms in humans. In Experiment 1, we used eye tracking to record patterns of eye fixations while participants viewed images of stone tools, including examples of worked pebbles and handaxes. The results showed that the focus of gaze was directed more towards the upper regions of worked pebbles and on the basal areas for handaxes. Knapped surfaces also attracted more fixation than natural cortex for both tool types. Fixation distribution was different to that predicted by models that calculate visual salience. Experiment 2 was an online study using a mouse-click attention tracking technique and included images of unworked pebbles and ‘mixed’ images combining the handaxe's outline with the pebble's unworked texture. The pattern of clicks corresponded to that revealed using eye tracking and there were differences between tools and other images. Overall, the findings suggest that visual exploration is directed towards functional aspects of tools. Studies of visual attention and exploration can supply useful information to inform understanding of human cognitive evolution and tool use.

Abstract:
AbstractIndustrial designers make sketches and physical models to start and develop ideas and concept designs. Such representations have advantages that they support fast, intuitive, rich, sensory exploration of solutions. Although existing tools and techniques provide adequate support where the shape of the product is concerned, the exploration of surface qualities such as material and printed graphics is supported to a much lesser extent. Moreover, there are no tools that have the fluency of sketching that allow combined exploration of shape, material, and their interactions. This paper evaluates Skin, an augmented reality tool designed to solve these two shortcomings. By projecting computer-generated images onto the shape model Skin allows for a “sketchy” tangible interaction where designers can explore surface qualities on a three-dimensional physical shape model. The tool was evaluated in three design situations in the domain of ceramics design. In each case, we found that the joint exploration of shape and surface provided creative benefits in the form of new solutions; in addition, a gain in efficiency was found in at least one case. The results show that joint exploration of shape and surface can be effectively supported with tangible augmented reality techniques and suggest that this can be put to practical use in industry today.

Applications in Kvik follow the three-tier architecture commonly used in web applications, with REST interfaces between the tiers. This makes it easy to adapt the applications to new statistical analyses, metadata, and visualizations. Kvik uses R to perform on-demand data analyses when researchers explore the data. In this note, we describe how we used Kvik to develop the Kvik Pathways application to explore gene expression data from healthy women with high and low plasma ratios of essential fatty acids using biological pathway visualizations. Researchers interact with Kvik Pathways through a web application that uses the JavaScript libraries Cytoscape.js and D3. We use Docker containers to make deployment of Kvik Pathways simple.

Abstract:
The scope of the paper is animation facilities of computer algebra systems (CAS). Animation offers opportunities for visualization of complex mathematical concepts, provides convincing demonstration of ideas and influence of quantities or parameters, helps to generate hypothesis, encourages exploration. Animation can be used to demonstrate many mathematical concepts that are difficult to explain verbally or to show with static pictures. Using animation allows students to explore, experiment and visualize mathematics as a dynamic process. But CAS creates only opportunities. The problem remains for users to realize this potential. So features of CAS such as ease of use, convenience of procedures are important for teaching and learning. The paper deals with animation features of the three most popular CAS - Maple, Matlab, Mathcad and their usefulness in education. The results of practical use of the three CAS in teaching animation procedures are discussed and students' opinion about animation tools of CAS is presented.

However, there are still many teachers who have difficulty developing learning resources that are suitable for students to apply. This study aimed to design a good, practical, and efficient ethnomathematical-based learning device by utilizing Pawon (kitchen) as a learning resource. Learning tools are designed by modifying the Borg and Gall development procedures, namely exploration, planning, development, initial revision, limited trial, final revision, and dissemination. The learning tools developed are then validated by media, material, and cultural experts, which are then tested on three teachers and 12 students. Data collection instruments in the form of exploration sheets and questionnaires. The analysis technique was carried out through quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The study results are that the design of the learning device developed meets the valid criteria as indicated by the percentage of assessments by material experts, media experts, practitioners, and cultural experts in Kulon Progo Regency, which reaches almost 100%. Practicality criteria based on assessments by teachers and students included in the excellent category and effective criteria based on the criteria reference assessment, more than 75% of students get scores above the minimum completeness criteria (KKM). The results of the development of ethnomathematical-based learning tools meet the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective for use in learning mathematics for elementary school students.

Abstract:
With the development of the times, fluid simulation technology has been used in university courses. As many university courses are too theoretical and difficult to understand, in order to achieve better learning results, the author believes that visualizing abstract concepts with simulation tools can help promote the course and enable students to achieve ideal learning results. This course introduces CFD, a fluid simulation tool. Through learning this course, students can more deeply understand the principles of fluid mechanics and enhance their understanding and application ability of theoretical knowledge through simulation practice.

Abstract:
The increasing demand for green technology and battery metals necessitates a review of geological exploration techniques for Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) pegmatites, which is applicable to the work of mining companies. This paper reviews the main controls of LCT pegmatite genesis relevant to mineral exploration programs and presents a workflow of grassroots exploration techniques, supported by examples from central Europe and Africa. Geological exploration commonly begins with information gathering, desktop studies and Geographic Information System (GIS) data reviews. Following the identification of prospective regional areas, initial targets are verified in the field by geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Detailed mineralogical analysis and geochemical sampling of rock, soil and stream sediments represent the most important tools for providing vectors to LCT pegmatites, since the interpretation of mineralogical phases, deportment and liberation characteristics along with geochemical K/Rb, Nb/Ta and Zr/Hf metallogenic markers can detect highly evolved rocks enriched in incompatible elements of economic interest. The importance of JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) 2012 guidelines with regards to obtaining geological, mineralogical and drilling data is discussed and contextualised, with the requirement of treating LCT pegmatites as industrial mineral deposits.

Abstract:
Widespread technology usage has resulted in a deluge of data that is not limited to scientific domains. For example, technology companies accumulate vast amounts of data on their users to support their applications and platforms. The participation of many domains in big data collection, data analysis and visualization, and the need for fast data exploration has provided a stellar market opportunity for high quality data visualization software to emerge. In this talk, leading industry visualization software (Tableau) will be used to explore a biodiversity dataset (Carex spp. distribution and morphology). The advantages and disadvantages of using Tableau for scientific exploration will be discussed, as well as how to integrate data visualization tools early into the data pipeline. Lastly, the potential for developing a data visualization "stack" (i.e., a combination of software products and programming languages) using available tools will be discussed, as well as what the future might look like for scientists looking to capitalize on the growth of industry tools.

Abstract:
Bamboo is a promising material for structural use due to its mechanical properties and rapid growth. Currently, standards and codes to support the analysis and calculation of bamboo structures are still scarce. Even international standards do not include specifications for the design of complex geometries. This work aimed to verify the use of parametric tools to design complex shapes. First, the NSR-10 Colombian code was used to analytically solve and design the mechanical behavior of double-curved shells. Then, the results were compared to those calculated with the add-on Karamba3D. Lastly, verification was considered successful when both results coincided. Here, it should be noticed that the resultant data might lead to plastic deformation of the cylinder head. However, this work did not intend to formulate structural designs whose beams effectively support the requested stresses but focused on the verification of software applications. Once the software was verified, this work further analyzed the structural behavior of two double curvature geometries simulated with bamboo, showing that digital simulation tools have the potential to be applied during the early structural design phases.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the exploration opportunity portfolio is managed by a dedicated team responsible for its integrity and analysis. The team uses a customized suite of tools for volumetric and economic assessment that has been developed since 1997. In addition to their application in quality control, regular performance monitoring and reporting, the tools are used to determine annual finding targets and formulate exploration strategies. The portfolio management process in PDO has made a major contribution to the quality of prospects that are selected for drilling. Thanks to new evaluation processes and a robust suite of tools, the company has a better understanding of the composition and quality of the prospect portfolio, and is explicitly aware of the challenges and issues facing exploration. Portfolio management tools enable objective target setting and communication, thereby achieving shared ownership. The clarity brought by portfolio analyses provides a powerful focus to the asset teams’ efforts to improve prospect quality. PDO is also able to quantify the consequences of changing activity levels and balance in the program, and of the limitations imposed by the portfolio. These provide the basis for ongoing dialogue with shareholders and justify the strategy shift towards frontier exploration enacted since 1998. Exploration in PDO has shifted from being opportunity-driven to being led by a portfolio-based strategy. A similar approach may be suited to other exploration ventures with sizeable portfolios.

The research aims to provide an overview of computer forensics, the history of computer forensics tools, and the accuracy and specifications of these tools. With the great and accelerating technological development, the reliance on the Internet has become greater and stronger than before. The world has become dependent on technology in all production and economic operations. And we talked in the second axis of the search for The Computer Forensic Legal Requirement, and Presentation of the tools used in the criminal investigation and an explanation of each tool. The digital forensic investigation tools that we will explain in this research are FTK. Forensic Toolkit, Prodiscovery, Autopsy, p2commander, OSForensics. We conclude that digital investigation tools have outstanding performance on different mediums. It has high accuracy and efficiency in digital investigation, and no single tool is superior to some other tools in all media. With more than one tool on a range of devices, it improves the investigation and testimony capabilities of examinees during exploration.

Abstract:
The increasing availability of large-scale datasets such as sensor data or social media data and increasingly accessible data science tools create unique opportunities for design. However, the relationship between data science practices and design methods is still underdeveloped. In this paper, we propose that data exploration activities can be effectively embedded within a broader design inquiry framework and define a new design method, coined Data Exploration for Design, to support methodical designerly data exploration. The design method addresses the novice’s learning curve and supporting developing a data exploration inquiry mindset with procedures and curated tools. The empirical evaluation highlights support for producing exploration outcomes that are worth the additional technical effort. We close the paper by positioning the findings in design methodology literature and motivating data exploration principles for design inquiry.The principles urge to acknowledge biases in data collection, spending time with the data, using visualizations as a means-to-an-end, and designers being part of the data collection.

Abstract:
Embedded video applications are now involved in sophisticated transportation systems like autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems. As silicon capacity increases, the design productivity gap grows up for the current available design tools. Hence, high-level synthesis (HLS) tools emerged in order to reduce that gap by shifting the design efforts to higher abstraction levels. In this paper, we present ViPar as a tool for exploring different video processing architectures at higher design level. First, we proposed a parametrizable parallel architectural model dedicated for video applications. Second, targeting this architectural model, we developed ViPar tool with two main features: (1) An empirical model was introduced to estimate the power consumption based on hardware utilization and operating frequency. In addition to that, we derived the equations for estimating the hardware utilization and execution time for each design point during the space exploration process. (2) By defining the main characteristics of the parallel video architecture like parallelism level, the number of input/output ports, the pixel distribution pattern, and so on, ViPar tool can automatically generate the dedicated architecture for hardware implementation. In the experimental validation, we used ViPar tool to generate automatically an efficient hardware implementation for a Multiwindow Sum of Absolute Difference stereo matching algorithm on Xilinx Zynq ZC706 board. We succeeded to increase the design productivity by converging rapidly to the appropriate designs that fit with our system constraints in terms of power consumption, hardware utilization, and frame execution time.
