Programming is basic to all engineering studies and a complicated subject for many first-year students. Many of the problems stem from the difficulty students have in finding the solution they need on the Internet, which makes students more dependent on the lecturer. Add to this the need for students to use new technologies in the classroom and the...

In the last years, the use of microservice architectures is spreading in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) and Internet of Things (IoT) domains. CPSs are systems that integrate digital cyber computations with physical processes. The development of software for CPSs demands a constant maintenance to support new requirements, bug fixes, and deal with har...

The potential of Web Augmentation lies in the fact that all users need to adapt the content, style or behavior of the web pages they visit. The reason for this is that all human beings are different in desires and needs, but everybody accesses web pages designed for the general public and this cannot satisfy everyone. Web Augmentation tools have di...
