A Comparison between a Relational Database and a Graph Database in the context of a Personalized Cancer Treatment Application
(2016)This paper presents a performance comparison between a relational database (implemented in MySQL) and a graph database (implemented in Neo4j). Unlike traditional benchmarks, this comparison is made in the context of a real ... -
A Functional Size Measurement Procedure for MVC Applications from Source Code: Design, Automation and Empirical Evaluation
(2014-09)Software size has proved to be one of the main effort-and-cost drivers. It is widely accepted that software size is one of the key factors that has the potential to affect the effort and cost of the software projects. ... -
A Gesture-Based Interaction Approach for Manipulating Augmented Objects Using Leap Motion
(2015-11)Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing are carrying the world to a reality where almost every object interacts with the environment, either via sensors or actuators, and users must learn how to interact with such ... -
A mobile application for improving the delivery process of notifications
(2021-01)At present, there are systems in charge of classifying and sending notifications to smart devices at different times. However, there are not many studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of these systems in real world ... -
A mobile application that allows children in the early childhood to program robots
(2016)Children born in the Information Age are digital natives; this characteristic should be exploited to improve the learning process through the use of technology. This paper addresses the design, construction, and evaluation ... -
A Model Proposal for Augmented Reality Game Creation to Incentivize Physical Activity
(2017)Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are relevant issues in today’s society. Even though different resources can be used to approach this problem, technology provides endless possibilities to fight against this problem. This ... -
A Prototype Mobile Expert System for Nutritional Diagnosis
