Despite the highly secure content sharing and the optimized forwarding mechanism, the content delivery in a Named Data Network (NDN) still suffers from numerous vulnerabilities that can be exploited to reduce the efficiency of such architecture. Mali...
In 2020, education found itself involved in a whirlwind of metamorphosis, of transformations that required responses to the emergencies dictated by the pandemic. In Portugal, many schools opted for Microsoft 365 as the platform of choice for providin...
Network analytics provide a comprehensive picture of the network’s Quality of Service (QoS), including the End-to-End (E2E) delay. In this paper, we characterize the Core and the Radio Access Network (RAN) E2E delay of 5G networks with the Stan...
Online education is now widely used in schools and universities as a result of COVID-19. More than 1.6 billion children, or 80% of all school-aged children worldwide, have missed school as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has...
Understanding multimedia content remains a challenging problem in e-commerce search and recommendation applications. It is difficult to obtain item representations that capture the relevant product attributes since these product attributes are fine-g...
There is a growing interest in using social robots in public spaces for indoor and outdoor applications. The threat landscape is an important research area being investigated and debated by various stakeholders. Objectives: This study aims to identif...
The urban structure of a city, defined by its inhabitants, daily movements, and land use, has become an environmental factor of interest that is related to traffic accidents. Traditionally, macro modeling is usually implemented using spatial economet...
Agile software development is one of the most important development paradigms these days. However, there are still some challenges to consider to reduce problems during the documentation process. Some assistive methods have been created to support de...
This paper illustrates the main problematic issues of minimizing technological risks in the construction of an integrated architecture for the protection of a “smart habitat” (SH). We analyze the use of the IoT to identify both object haz...
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a biomarker that can be obtained non-invasively from the electrocardiogram (ECG) or the photoplethysmogram (PPG) fiducial points. However, the accuracy of HRV can be compromised by the presence of artifacts. In the her...
Accurate and timely detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial in reducing treatment times and, ultimately, preventing serious life-threatening complications, such as the incidence of a stroke. This becomes of major importance, especially during the...
The way that education is delivered changed significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic to be completely online in many countries for many institutions. Despite the fact that they are not online teaching platforms, virtual meeting platforms were utili...
Intelligent software packages have become fast-growing in popularity for large businesses in both developed and developing countries, due to their higher availability in detecting and preventing cybercrime. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs...
Recently, the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches has raised security concerns from researchers. Android-based mobile devices are considered a dominant operating system. The open-source nature of this platform makes it a good targ...
In the last few years, the spreading of new technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), has been changing our way of life. Notably, AR technologies have different applications in the cultural heritage realm, improving available information for a us...
Current ERPs are still limited by cost, customization, implementation time, and interoperability with other systems. Even if cloud-based ERPs attempt to overcome these limits, they do not completely answer all of them. Based on that postulate about r...
Numerous network cyberattacks have been launched due to inherent weaknesses. Network intrusion detection is a crucial foundation of the cybersecurity field. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are a type of machine learning (ML) software proposed for...
The Schrödinger equation is one of the most important equations in physics and chemistry and can be solved in the simplest cases by computer numerical methods. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the computer began to be used to solve this equatio...
