Abstract
Location-based games require, among other things, physical activity and real-world context. Additionally, ensuring that the players are assigned challenges that are adequate and safe for the current context (both physical and spatial) is also important, as it can improve both the gaming experience and the outcomes of the exercise. However, the impact adaptivity has in the specific case of location-based exergames still has not been researched in depth. In this paper, we present a location-based exergame capable of adapting its mechanics to the current context.

Abstract
This paper aims at presenting the STRONGMAR Summer School 2016 that took place at the Base Naval de Lisboa, of the Portuguese Navy. The STRONGMAR project ideal motivates the development of maritime and marine science research and technology through the knowledge transfer between INESC TEC and promising, and prestigious, leading research European institutions. This process takes place through theoretical lectures and training, and via experimental application of the concepts discussed in order to further develop technology related to the sea environment. The practical application of the STRONGMAR project ideal takes place during events such as summer schools, winter schools, thematic workshops and scientific conferences. The STRONGMAR Summer School 2016 approaches the subject of "Introduction to Advanced Marine Technologies", providing a strong component of practical applications in underwater archaeology. It develops the study of unmanned systems applied to underwater archaeology, through the use of unmanned underwater vehicles. As a whole, this paper describes the Summer School experience, providing some results and greater insight on the topic of underwater archaeology.

Abstract
Software systems with a graphical user interface (GUI) front end are typically designed using user interface (UI) Patterns, which describe generic solutions (with multiple possible implementations) for recurrent GUI design problems. However, existing testing techniques do not take advantage of this fact to test GUIs more efficiently. In this paper, we present a new pattern-based GUI testing (PBGT) approach that formalizes the notion of UI Test Patterns, which are generic test strategies to test UI patterns over their different implementations. The PBGT approach is evaluated via 2 case studies. The first study involves 2 fielded Web application subjects; findings show that PBGT is both practical and useful, as testing teams were able to find real bugs in a reasonable time interval. The second study allows deeper analysis by studying software subjects seeded with artificial faults; the findings show that PBGT is more effective than a manual model-based test case generation approach.
