In this paper, we present the collection and mining of GitHub data, aiming to understand GitHub user behavior and project success factors. We collected information about approximately 100K projects and 10K GitHub users//owners of these projects, via GitHub API. Subsequently, we statistically analyzed such data, discretized values of features via k-means algorithm, and finally we applied apriori algorithm via weka in order to find out association rules. Having assumed that project success could be measured by the cardinality of downloads we kept only the rules which had as right par a download cardinality higher than a threshold of 1000 downloads. The results provide intersting insight in the GitHub ecosystem and seven success rules for GitHub projects.

There is a challenge of developing computer programming visual language in the sphere of interdisciplinary research - cybernetics and philosophy, in particular, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language and new area of the philosophical analysis - ≪philosophy of information≫. We consider the aspect ≪language - thinking≫ and the stages of developing interaction between a person and information environment by means of programs. We set up the problem concerning the necessity to find the ways of constructing software by nonprofessionals. We offer the efficient way to eliminate the distinction in the system ≪interface-software programming language≫ via using visual programming language as a tool for people to communicate with machine. We designate the prospects of using visual programming languages and difficulties in their creation and implementation. We conclude that developing cloud technologies opens up new opportunities to make cross-subject tools of creating and changing software functionality by people without professional qualifications in programming. It is noted that developing and using visual languages can have considerable impact on the development of nano-bio-info-cogno technologies (NBIC) as well as on the research in the field of cognitive management, artificial intelligence as modeling visual thinking and other research areas. We recommend further understanding how to use visual programming languages in social, philosophical and psychological aspects.

This paper presents a General Variable Search heuristic, trying to discover initial, feasible solution for the Travelling Salesman Problem with Time Windows. More specifically, we provide all relevant information regarding TSP-TW, Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) and initialization methods, then we quote all related work in the direction on solving this NP-HARD problem, and at last we propose our new implementation for generating initial, feasible solution for the TSP-TW. We are thoroughly focused on the behavior of our main algorithm to different random-based or sorting-based initialization procedures of our main implemented algorithm. At last, we show experimentally that in some cases, the use of a sorting function as an initialization function in this algorithm did not work and never returned a feasible solution in some cases.

We introduce a new methodology, that incorporates advanced higher moments evaluation in a new approach of the Portfolio Selection problem, supported by effective Computational Intelligence models. The Portfolio Intelligence (PI) model extracts hidden patterns out of the numerous accounting data and financial statements filtering misguiding effects such as noise or fraud, offering an optimal portfolio selection method.

The ABLE-TO-INCLUDE is a European CIP project that seeks to improve the lives of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) and similar conditions. In order to be included in today's society it is becoming increasingly important to be able to use the current available technological tools. The number of apps is growing exponentially but very few are really accessible to people with IDD. Accessibility is usually a missing variable of the equation, and when present is usually directed towards user with a sensory disability, such as visual or listening impairment. This scenario derives in a social breach that excludes people with IDD from the information society. In order to palliate this situation, the ABLE-TO-INLCUDE project creates a context aware accessibility layer based in developed components that, by being integrated with existent and future ICT tools (especially with mobile apps) can improve daily tasks of people with IDD and help them interact with the information society. The integration of this accessibility layer with existent ICT tools will be demonstrated in 3 different pilots in Spain, Belgium and UK, in 3 different usage scenarios (leisure within the information society, mobility and labour integration). In this paper, we focus on the mobility pilot in Belgium. This pilot builds on the research that led to the development of the Viamigo toolkit. This is composed of apps that monitors people on the move, evaluates their position against the expected path and alerts caretakers or coaches when unexpected events occur. The benefits of such a toolkit are discussed. Vulnerable people use Viamigo. The organisations, parents and caretakers are often not very familiar with the use of technology. The design and modeling of Viamigo is therefore much depending on users expectations and acceptance of the technology. This paper will report on methods and results of the human-centered approach walked hand in hand with the development cycle. This paper also reports on interactions with the different stakeholders, the technological choices that resulted from this and the architecture that is put in place to support these choices. The Viamigo project is used as an interdisciplinary platform that brings together students from engineering, social science and occupational therapy. They contribute to the research from different perspectives and collaborate over the borders of their own study field. Finally, we discuss the future development, based on user experiences and technological opportunities.
ABLE-TO-INCLUDE是一个欧洲CIP项目，旨在改善智力或发育障碍(IDD)及类似情况患者的生活。为了融入当今社会，能够使用当前可用的技术工具变得越来越重要。应用程序的数量呈指数级增长，但真正适合IDD患者使用的却很少。可访问性通常是等式中缺失的变量，当存在时，通常是针对有视觉或听力障碍等感官障碍的用户。这种情况源于将IDD患者排除在信息社会之外的社会破坏。为了缓解这种情况，able - to - include项目创建了一个基于已开发组件的上下文感知可访问性层，通过与现有和未来的ICT工具(特别是移动应用程序)集成，可以改善IDD患者的日常工作，并帮助他们与信息社会互动。这一可访问性层与现有ICT工具的整合将在西班牙、比利时和英国的3个不同试点中进行演示，涉及3种不同的使用场景(信息社会中的休闲、流动性和劳动力整合)。本文以比利时的移动出行试点为研究对象。该试点项目建立在导致Viamigo工具包开发的研究基础之上。该系统由一些应用程序组成，这些应用程序可以监控移动中的人员，根据预期路径评估他们的位置，并在发生意外事件时提醒看护人员或教练。讨论了这种工具包的好处。弱势群体使用Viamigo。组织、家长和看护人往往不太熟悉技术的使用。因此，Viamigo的设计和建模在很大程度上取决于用户对该技术的期望和接受程度。本文将报告以人为中心的方法和结果与开发周期携手并进。本文还报告了与不同涉众的交互，由此产生的技术选择，以及支持这些选择的体系结构。Viamigo项目是一个跨学科的平台，汇集了来自工程、社会科学和职业治疗的学生。他们从不同的角度为研究做出贡献，并在各自研究领域的边界上进行合作。最后，我们基于用户体验和技术机遇讨论了未来的发展。

A geometric path from s to t is increasing-chord, if while traversing it from s to t the distance to the following (resp. from the preceding) points of the path decreases (resp. increases). A geometric graph is increasing-chord if each two distinct vertices are connected with an increasing-chord path. We show that given a convex point set P in the plane we can construct an increasing-chord graph consisting of P, at most one Steiner point and at most 4|P| - 8 edges.

In recent years the concept of Zero Energy Building (ZEB) has attracted international interest and has led to the beginning of a new generation of buildings. There is a worldwide attempt to define the concept of ZEB and specify a methodology of modeling its operation. Defining the parameters that should be taken into consideration and classifying ZEBs helps that attempt. Energy management and intelligent control are playing a key role in the successful operation of a ZEB, improving its performance and reducing its consumption. The method of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) is appropriate for problems with many parameters, where mathematical modeling and calculations have difficult or, in some cases, impossible solution. ZEB is a complex system and therefore it should be as "intelligent" as possible and the use of FCMs in ZEB operation modeling is a very promising field.

Ant Miner is the application of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm in data classification problem. Since it was proposed by Parpinelli et al., in 2001, a lot of data classification studies were performed with the aid of this algorithm. Also a lot of comparisons were performed between the results obtained with this algorithm and the results obtained by improved Ant Miner algorithms. Usually, in different studies different values were chosen for the input parameters such as the number of ants, the minimum number of instances covered by each rule, and so on. So we ask the question how to choose the values of input parameters in order to obtain good results for output parameters like prediction accuracy, the number of discovered rules and the execution time? In this paper we run on 15 datasets obtained from UCI Machine Learning Repository a number of 32 combinations of input parameters, and we try to find connections between the values of the input parameters and the obtained results. Finally we wrote a set of remarks regarding Ant Miner parameters, which may be useful in choosing input parameters in different studies in order to obtain overall good results. Before starting the experiments we performed a small modification to the Ant Miner open source code in order to assure that each run will work with the same subsets of data, for a fair comparison of results.

The SIMPATIC project (acronym for Intelligent System for the Private and Autonomous Surveillance based on Information and Communication Technologies, in Catalan) addresses the building of a monitoring system for people affected with Mild Cognitive Impairments (MCI). It consists of a mobile app running on the patient's smartphone and a server that analyses the device's location and raises alarms under certain conditions. This is a research project that comprises both technological and human challenges. Regarding the technological aspects, we have not merely built a testbed prototype: our technology has been tested in a real-life scenario. In this paper we address the implementation aspects and technological results of the pilot test conducted within the SIMPATIC project. We describe the architecture of the SIMPATIC system as well as its functionalities, but we focus on the implementation aspects that make our software a fully functional monitoring system based on smartphones and web technology.
