Multi-touch tables, iPhones, and iPads are just a few of the many devices to have embraced the mystical power of touch sensitivity. Somehow, without any physical push of a button, these devices can magically “feel ” when my finger is touching them! Touch-sensitive technology is perceived to be such a recent addition in devices, that it still holds people in amazement and makes them believe they are living in a science-fiction fantasy. Is this the future for all devices though? The iPhone has proven to be such a success that it seems as though all mobile phone manufacturers are abandoning physical buttons in favor of touch-sensitive panels. This thesis aims to point out that the physicality of interfaces should not be abandoned, but combined with touch-sensitivity. The haptic1 feedback that I receive while pushing the keys down on my

The entry of mathematics into a computer system is important in some contexts: computer algebra systems, programming for scientific computing, educational training, and publishing. Different designs based on different user models may be appropriate. We survey some of the past approaches

motion planner, as well as the effects of supplementary user input collected using a haptic device. Our results applying an obstacle-based probabilistic roadmap motion planning algorithm (OBPRM) to some proteinligand complexes are encouraging. The framework successfully identified potential binding sites

Traditional ways to handle user input in software are uncomfortable when an application wishes to use novel input devices. This is especially the case in gesture based user interfaces. In this paper we describe these problems and as a solution we present an architecture and an implementation

We introduce the concept of Graspable User Interfaces which allow direct control of electronic or virtual objects through physical handles for control. These physical artifacts are essentially new input devices which can be tightly coupled or “attached ” to virtual objects for manipulation

Abstract—In assistive teleoperation, the robot provides assis-tance by predicting the user’s intent. Prior work has focused on improving prediction by adapting it to the user’s behavior. In this work, we investigate adaptation in the opposite direction: training the user’s behavior

SQL Injection or Insertion is still one of the top vulnerabilities according to OWASP Top10-2013. SQL Injection is consistently growing day by day and hence has become a buzz word. But what made this happen? It is due to the lack of security awareness during development of web applications. Developers are mandated to deliver functionality on time and on budget but not to develop secure applications, which results in development of vulnerable web applications. Inaccurate

Abstract — Recommender systems require input information in order to properly operate and deliver content or behaviour suggestions to end users. eLearning scenarios are no exception. Users are current students and recommendations can be built upon paths (both formal and informal), relationships
