Autores
Cunha, J; Fernandes, JP; Mendes, J; Pereira, R; Saraiva, J;

Publicação
2014 IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON VISUAL LANGUAGES AND HUMAN-CENTRIC COMPUTING (VL/HCC 2014)

Abstract
This paper presents ES-SQL, an embedded tool for visually constructing queries over spreadsheets. This tool provides an expressive query environment which has knowledge on the business logic of spreadsheets, and by this knowledge it assists the user in defining the intended queries.

SIMULATION, MODELING, AND PROGRAMMING FOR AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS (SIMPAR 2014)

Abstract
Field experiments with a team of heterogeneous robots require human and hardware resources which cannot be implemented in a straightforward manner. Therefore, simulation environments are viewed by the robotic community as a powerful tool that can be used as an intermediate step to evaluate and validate the developments prior to their integration in real robots. This paper evaluates a novel multi-robot heterogeneous cooperative perception framework based on monocular measurements under the MORSE robotic simulation environment. The simulations are performed in an outdoor environment using a team of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) and an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) performing distributed cooperative perception based on monocular measurements. The goal is to estimate the 3D target position.

Simulation of the ensemble generation process: The divergence between data and model similarity

Abstract
In this paper we present a Netlogo simulation model for a Data Mining methodological process: ensemble classifier generation. The model allows to study the trade-off between data characteristics and diversity, a key concept in Ensemble Learning. We studied the re™ search hypothesis that data characteristics should also be taken into account while generating ensemble classifier models. The results of our experiments indicate that diversity is in fact a key concept in Ensemble Learning but regarding our research hypothesis, the findings axe inconclusive.

Abstract
Students today lack the real experiences needed to make sense of complex technical concepts although industry is one of the primary customers that constantly challenges academia to make curricula more relevant to professional practice. Our response to these influences was to create and test idea of Distributed and Remote Lab dedicated to active learning. In this survey, the experiments on representational fidelity measures are erformed on two types of "client" user interface (Wall and Window) in two modes of presentation (Desktop and Video beam) of the distributed manufacturing system. The proposed remote system has allowed students from Belgrade, Serbia to dynamically interact with a real manufacturing process held in Minho's Lab, Portugal, to carry out a remote experimental practice. This survey gives advantage to Wall interface, in the fields of smooth display of view changes and object motion and consistency of object behaviour. There are also weaker correlations between representational fidelity measures when Wall interface is used and certain advantage on desktop presentation mode. © Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Belgrade.

Dynamic price competition in aftermarkets with network effects

JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS

Abstract
This paper studies the dynamic price competition between two firms that sell horizontally differentiated durable goods and, subsequently, provide exclusive complementary goods and services to their customers. The paper analyzes how optimal pricing strategies are affected by the existence of network effects associated with the size of firms' consumer base. The interaction is thoroughly analyzed as a continuous time linear-quadratic differential game. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique duopoly equilibrium in affine strategies. When this condition holds, we show that optimal pricing strategies crucially depend on the nature of the network effects.
