Title：MERLOT - The International Gateway for Finding Open Educational Resources
Abstract：
In an era of Open Educational Resources (OER), open source software (OSS), and Open Access (OA) publications, MERLOT, the Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching, stands out as the longstanding, favored digital gateway for instructors seeking all manner of open resources for their teaching and research. The MERLOT community, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017, consists of more than 150,000 registered members who have built a collection of almost 80,000 freely available, curated, multidisciplinary learning materials. With more than one million website visitors annually, MERLOT is the preferred international resource for discovering online teaching and learning materials. This presentation will discuss the concept of openness, including the use and reuse of learning objects, the new user interfaces and features in MERLOT (released in March, 2018), and will focus on MERLOT’s ‘Smart Search’ integrated in 1) MERLOT own repository search, 2) direct search to more than a dozen popular digital libraries, and 3) pre-customized, profile-based WWW searches. There will be a focus on MERLOT’s recently added discipline communities of Information Technology and Computer Science, endorsed by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Education Society.

Title：Situation Analytics - At the Dwan of an Emerging Software Engineering Paradigm
Title：Situation Analytics - At the Dwan of an Emerging Software Engineering Paradigm
Abstract：
A new software engineering paradigm has been quietly emerging while most researchers may not have noticed it. In this talk I will first briefly software engineering as a profession to celebrate its 50th anniversary. I will then discuss the prevalent notions of context-awareness and situation-awareness in the sensor-laden Internet of Things (IoT) era. Based on such observations and discussions, I will explain what I mean by the emerging software engineering paradigm with a reference to the classical notion of scientific evolution by Thomas Kuhn, based on situation analytics in support of the human-always-in-the-loop computer services. Examples drawn from some of the recent pilot projects and existing practices in the marketplace will be used to illustrate the philosophy, the technical challenges and the prospects of such an emerging software engineering paradigm.

Title: Towards Digital Health: Affective mHealth projects
Title: Towards Digital Health: Affective mHealth projects
Abstract：
Affective computing is that branch of computing which deals with the study of emotions. The study of human emotions which includes identifying, construing and simulating them makes the core concept behind affective computing. Affective computing deals with developing such machine or computer which is not only able to recognize, interpret and process emotions but also able to make decisions according to the situation. mHealth (mobile phone based healthcare) is a reality as portable devices (cell phones, smart phones, or PDAs), sensors, and RFIDs have become a part of our everyday lives. In Ubicomp lab, we have been using affective computing in mHealth projects. In the first project, we use facial expression and energy expenditure of a person to classify a person’s affective state by continuously recording accelerometer data for energy and camera image for facial expression. In the second project, we design, develop and evaluate a mobile-based intervention designed with the aim of teaching social skills to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). We also aim to study the anxiety pattern of children with ASDs during a social interaction intervention. In the third project, we validate the idea of using smart phone cameras for pain assessment of breast cancer patients in a developing country. In this talk, we discuss affective computing in the above mHealth projects.
