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 genetic algorithm based framework for software effort prediction
(2017)Background: Several prediction models have been proposed in the literature using different techniques obtaining different results in different contexts. The need for accurate effort predictions for projects is one of the ... -
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 that allows children in the early childhood to program robots

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
(2013)This paper describes NUTRITION UCR, a prototype expert system for human nutritional diagnosis developed in Java on Android using a service-oriented architecture. The system runs on mobile devices and offers smart features ... -
A survey of software testing practices in Costa Rica
(2019-04-24)Software testing is an essential activity in software development projects for delivering high quality products. In a previous study, we reported the results of a survey of software engineering practices in the Costa Rican ... -
A systematic literature review of methodologies used for the design of serious games. A comparative analysis
(2020-06-26)This article of systematic literature review presents the analysis of a series of methodological proposals, suggested for the design of educational video games. Nine different methodologies are analyzed. As part of the ... -
A tertiary study on model-based testing areas, tools and challenges: Preliminary results
(2018-04-24)Context: Model-based testing (MBT) is one of the most studied approaches by secondary studies in the area of software testing. A tertiary study that aggregates knowledge from secondary studies on MBT can be useful to both ... -
A user interaction bug analyzer based on image processing
(2016-08)Mobile applications support a set of user-interaction features that are independent of the application logic. Rotating the device, scrolling, or zooming are examples of such features. Some bugs in mobile applications can ... -
A Virtual Repository of Learning Objects to Support Literacy of SEN Children
(2015-01)Literacy development is an essential process for special education needs children. Otherwise, they will have additional difficulties in their daily life activities and hence their social inclusion. It is a big challenge ... -
Acceptance of Serious Games to Develop Digital Competencies in Higher Education
(2022)Serious games are the focus of the current research agenda. They show promise for allowing students to learn and practice skills. In fewer studies, they are used for the development of academic competencies. Therefore, it ... -
Alexa vs. Siri vs. Cortana vs. Google Assistant: A Comparison of Speech-Based Natural User Interfaces
(2017-07-17)Natural User Interfaces (NUI) are supposed to be used by humans in a very logic way. However, the run to deploy Speech-based NUIs by the industry has had a large impact on the naturality of such interfaces. This paper ... -
