Schola Ludus for the 21st century: simulators in the Internet browser

Application of old Comenius credo “Schola Ludus” ‐ school by play ‐ is found in current multimedia educational games in a classroom.However, it is essential that educational games can be operated on multiple platforms and devices.Since the beginning of the current millennium, the Internet and mainly world‐wide‐web based technologies and standards are widely adopted by different types of user computing devices ‐ i.e. smartphones, tablets, and computer desktops regardless of the operating system on them.Internet browsers (or web browsers) have been changing dramatically in the last few years and have been adopting and implementing web‐based standards and APIs.Recently, we have created a new technology combining some of the current web standards including Web‐Assembly for fast computation of mathematical models, web components for creating independent transferable objects, WebGL for involving 3D graphics. Additionally, we have created a tool for composing educational applications, which might include a simulator that runs in a web browser on all platforms and operating systems. Our tool and related technology are called BodyLight.js. An article about BodyLight.js was published in the Journal of Internet Medical Research ( https://www.jmir.org/2019/7/e14160/).BodyLight.js ( https://bodylight.physiome.cz/) is still in active development offered as open‐source software and opens up the possibility for creating a whole new kind of electronic publication linking hypertext, multimedia, and web‐based simulation games. Bodylight.js enables the creation of next‐generation electronic textbooks that use a computer, tablet or smartphone not only as a display device but as a simulation tool accompanying interpretation through simulation games and interactive images driven by a mathematical model in the background.One of the first applications created by this technology is the simulation of the integrated physiology of blood gas exchange, cardiovascular disorders, and acid‐base balance. We have been testing this application in the lectures of pathological physiology. It seems that the inclusion of a set of simulators significantly improves understanding of this non‐trivial topic by students compared to traditional forms of teaching.Support or Funding InformationMPO TRIO FV20628, MPO TRIO FV30195The key software tool for web application design is Composer. Composer is a web application ‐ an interactive design tool that educators, graphics designers, and modelers work with. It allows to visually create an HTML simulator, that can be used on any browser capable device.Figure 1Pressure‐volume loop simulator was developed using Bodylight.js software tool.

The Influence of Web Maps and Education on Adolescents’ Global-scale Cognitive Map

ABSTRACT Several factors influence the global-scale cognitive map. The use of school books, atlases and web maps all play an essential role in the development of geographical knowledge of adolescents. This research examines the impact of the educational system versus web maps on the adolescents’ mental map. Through a specially designed web application, university students and secondary school pupils estimated the real proportion of countries and continents compared to Europe. Participants with a more theoretical background or wider knowledge about map projections and its distortions estimated the real proportions more accurately. This research also found that the Robinson projection, commonly used in schoolbooks and atlases, is the best-known map projection among adolescents. However, the influence of web maps could not be proven since no Mercator effect was found. Education is of undeniable importance, and therefore, educational materials that encourage people to look more carefully and critically at maps should be further developed.

Multi-Device Complementary View Adaptation with Liquid Media Queries

The design of responsive Web applications is traditionally based on the assumption that they run on a single client at a time. Thanks to CSS3 media queries, developers can declaratively specify how the Web application UI adapts to the capabilities of specific devices. As users own more and more devices and they attempt to use them to run Web applications in parallel, we propose to extend CSS media queries so that they can be used to adapt the UI of liquid Web applications while they are dynamically deployed across multiple devices.In this paper we present our extension of CSS media queries with liquid-related types and features, allowing to detect the number of devices connected, the number of users running the application, or the role played by each device. The liquid media query types and features defined in this paper are designed and suitable for liquid component-based Web architectures, and they enable developers to control the deployment of individual Web components across multiple browsers. Furthermore we show the design of liquid media queries in the Liquid.js for Polymer framework and propose our adaptation algorithms. We describe multiple adaptation policies and discuss the implications of the multi-device adaptation from the perspective of the developers and users of a Web application. Finally we showcase the expressiveness of the liquid media queries to support real-world examples and evaluate the algorithmic complexity of our approach.

UEWDM NAVIGATIONAL DESIGN: A CASE STUDY OF APU WEB ATTENDANCE

The process of designing web application has become a challenge for many individuals, specifically web developers due to interaction processes involvement in the design process. The designs should incorporate conceptual aspect, interaction processes, navigation structures and abstract presentation design. Unfortunately, many practitioners believe that most of the web applications have been developed in an ad hoc manner and less focus on the interaction processes. As a solution, UEWDM has been proposed in order to deal with the issues mentioned above. Thus, in this paper, APU web attendance is presented as a case study of UEWDM in order to verify that the proposed design model is applicable to any web application design with interaction processes. Research’s contribution relies on the expressive web design model of navigational design, which utilizes UML stereotypes for the interaction processes modeling. In other words, UEWDM could act as a guideline and assist web designers in designing web applications that consist of interaction processes.

An Integrated Approach of Fuzzy Logic, AHP and TOPSIS for Estimating Usable-Security of Web Applications

Security and usability are often thought of as being contradictive in nature. One affects the other negatively. The relation and trade-offs between usability and security must be detected during developing web application to satisfy the user’s requirements with security perspective. Current approaches of usable-security emphasizes on building systems that are easy to use and secure as well. Hence, this paper is recognizing usability-security as a problem with different attributes contributing towards it. Further, there is a need to assess this problem for the satisfaction of the end user. In this context, this study proposes the track of Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS (Analytic Hierarchy Process-Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) technique to assess the usable-security of web application and also identifies the most prioritized attribute contributing towards building usable-security of web application. Moreover, to corroborate the efficacy of the proposed technique, the authors have tested the results on the institutional web applications. The results of the assessment undertaken in this study and the findings tabulated thereafter will be a helpful reckoner for the developers while designing web applications that afford optimum usable-security.

Evaluating Performance of Web Application Security Through a Fuzzy Based Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach: Design Tactics Perspective

Design of software can have a major impact on the overall security of the software. Developing a secure website design is a challenge for architectures. It depends on different and tough decisions which determine the security of website. Increasing number of vulnerabilities increase the level of security requirements. Hence, security design tactics are to be adopted to satisfy these security requirements. Security design tactics are the mechanisms to define, detect and mitigate vulnerabilities and attacks. Therefore, faults in the application of security tactics or their weakening during website maintenance could be one of the key reasons behind the emergence of new and severe vulnerabilities that can be targeted by the hackers. There is a need for in-depth analysis of security tactics and its prioritization for the sake of determining the most prioritized factor. This will further help in gaining a more secure system. In this research study, the authors have used the hybrid method of Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS (Analytic Hierarchy Process-Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) for the evaluation of security design tactics and its attributes. The efficiency of this approach has been tested on a real time web application of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. Further, different web applications of the University have been used to validate the obtained results. This study's evaluation of the most impactful web application design for improving security will help the architects to secure systems by using security tactics.

CRcoder: An Interactive Web Application and SAS Macro to Support Personalized Clinical Decisions.

Electronic health care data offer an opportunity to improve clinical decision making through advanced statistical analyses of longitudinal observations. To describe a Web application and SAS/STAT macro (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC) for computing joint models to estimate the typical and personalized risk of 2 concurrent binary outcomes. Features of the Web application design include uploading longitudinal files formatted with constant or time-varying covariates, specification of 2 binary outcomes, specification of a propensity model for treatment, and joint and separate models of the outcomes. In addition we designed an SAS macro for conducting the analysis. Fitting of joint and separate statistical models was implemented using a model specified in the Web application, with subsequent processing by the SAS macro. To illustrate the fitting of models, a sample of older adults with comorbid hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey was created to examine the association between polypharmacy (use of ≥ 5 medication classes) and limitations in social activities and mobility. Relative to separate models, the joint models typically estimated attenuated associations between explanatory variables and the 2 outcomes with smaller standard errors. These joint models yielded estimates of personalized concurrent risk and typical concurrent risk. Clinical decision making based on electronic health data can be improved using joint modeling to generate an individual's probability of concurrent risk. This user-friendly software performs the advanced statistical analyses needed to estimate typical and personalized concurrent risks.

Інформаційна технологія для розробки та впровадження web-застосунків

The problem of the rapid creation of effective web-applications of one class with using formal means are considered. The conceptual approach to its solution is offered on the basis f analysis of the peculiarities of web-applications construction. The approach is based on defining the standard web application architecture and selecting its components using formal methods in accordance with user requirements. A formal logical system is used, which uses the design of web-applications as a process of outputting the formula specified according to the needs of the user, which defines the schemes of execution of the modules of the system. An important feature of the approach is the ability to 3D-visualize the process of designing the system, which creates conditions for effective interaction between developers and machine development tools.

Ontology-based representation and reasoning about precise and imprecise temporal data: A fuzzy-based view

Temporal representation and reasoning are important facets in the design of many Semantic Web applications. Several approaches exist to represent and reason about precise temporal data in ontology. However, most of them handle only time intervals and associated qualitative relations. Besides, to the best of our knowledge, there is no approach devoted to handle imprecise temporal data (e.g., “late 1970s”). In this paper, we propose an ontology-based approach for representing and reasoning about precise and imprecise temporal data. Quantitative temporal data (i.e., time intervals and points) and qualitative ones (i.e., relations between time intervals, relations between a time interval and a time point and relations between time points) are taken into consideration. Our approach is three folds: (i) extending the 4D-fluents approach with new crisp and fuzzy components, to represent precise and imprecise temporal data, (ii) extending the Allen’s interval algebra to enable reasoning about precise and imprecise temporal data, and (iii) creating a Fuzzy-OWL 2 ontology TimeOnto that, based on the extended Allen’s interval algebra, instantiates our 4D-fluents-based representation. The extension that we propose for the Allen’s interval algebra handles precise and imprecise time intervals. Indeed, it enables expressing precise (e.g., “before”) and imprecise (e.g., “just before”) temporal relations. Compared to related work, our imprecise relations are personalized, in the sense that they are not limited to a defined set of interval relations and their meanings are determined by the domain expert. For instance, the classic Allen’s relation “Before” may be generalized in 5 imprecise relations, where “Before(1)” means “just before” and gradually the time gap between the two intervals increases until “Before(5)” which means “very long before”. To enable this representation, we propose an extension of the Vilain and Kautz’s point algebra and redefined the Allen’s relations by means of this extended algebra. We show in this paper that, unlike most related work, the resulting relations preserve many of the desirable properties of the Allen’s interval algebra. The definitions of the resulting interval relations are adapted to allow relating a time interval and a time point, and two time points, where time intervals and points maybe both precise or both imprecise. These relations can be used for temporal reasoning by means of four transitivity tables. Finally, we describe a prototype based on “TimeOnto” that infers new relations using a set of SWRL and fuzzy IF-THEN rules. This prototype was integrated in an ontology-based memory prosthesis for Alzheimer’s patients.

Isopleth

Online resources can help novice developers learn basic programming skills, but few resources support progressing from writing working code to learning professional web development practices. We address this gap by advancing Readily Available Learning Experiences, a conceptual approach for transforming all professional web applications into opportunities for authentic learning. This article presents Isopleth, a web-based platform that helps learners make sense of complex code constructs and hidden asynchronous relationships in professional web code. Isopleth embeds sensemaking scaffolds informed by the learning sciences to (1) expose hidden functional and event-driven relationships, (2) surface functionally related slices of code, and (3) support learners manipulating the provided code representations. To expose event-driven relationships, Isopleth implements a novel technique called Serialized Deanonymization to determine and visualize asynchronous functional relationships. To evaluate Isopleth, we conducted a case study across 12 professional websites and a user study with 14 junior and senior developers. Results show that Isopleth’s sensemaking scaffolds helped to surface implementation approaches in event binding, web application design, and complex interactive features across a range of complex professional web applications. Moreover, Isopleth helped junior developers improve the accuracy of their conceptual models of how features are implemented by 31% on average.

Evaluation of password hashing schemes in open source web platforms

Nowadays, the majority of web platforms in the Internet originate either from CMS to easily deploy websites or by web applications frameworks that allow developers to design and implement web applications. Considering the fact that CMS are intended to be plug and play solutions and their main aim is to allow even non-developers to deploy websites, we argue that the default hashing schemes rarely are modified. Also, recent studies suggest that even developers do not use appropriate hash functions to protect passwords, since they may not have adequate security expertise. Therefore, the default settings of CMS and web applications frameworks play an important role in the security of password storage. This paper evaluates the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web application frameworks. First, we formulate the cost time of password guessing attacks and next we investigate the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web applications frameworks. We then apply our framework to perform a comparative analysis of the cost time of password guessing attacks between the various CMS and web application frameworks. Finally, considering that intensive hash functions consume computational resources, we analyze hashing schemes from a different perspective. That is, we investigate if it is feasible and under what conditions to perform slow rate denial of service attacks from concurrent login attempts. Through our study we have derived a set of critical observations. We have discovered that many CMS and web application frameworks use outdated hash functions, arbitrary number of hash iterations, while there is a lack of password policies and salt. Notably, the popular WordPress still uses MD5 with low number of hash iterations. Overall, we believe that the security status of the hashing schemes of CMS and web application frameworks calls for changes to the default settings from an opt-in to an opt-out security policy. More security audits and official library implementations are also required to accelerate the adoption of memory hard functions both by policy makers and the industry.

Measuring the Sustainable-Security of Web Applications Through a Fuzzy-Based Integrated Approach of AHP and TOPSIS

Ensuring sustainable-security of web applications for minimizing security breaches and enhancing users' trust and satisfaction is the foremost priority of all security experts and web developers. However, sustainable-security is multidimensional, emergent, and an irreducible concept. Also, designing sustainable-security of web application is a complex process because it is a multi-attribute approach which is based on the users' needs and organization's policies. In this context, the decision making process could be an effective means to quantitatively evaluate sustainable-security of web application design. In this research study, the authors have used a technique that involves integrating Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) approaches for the assessment of sustainable-security of web applications. The efficacy of this technique has then been tested on a web application designed specifically to cater to the requisites of an academic institution, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University in India. Given the sensitivity of web application, this paper has used different versions of a University web application. The results thus obtained and the approach employed in this study would definitely aid the future researchers and developers in designing web applications with higher sustainable-security.

Design and Implementation of an Anonymous Vehicle Identification System Based on the IoT

Security has become an important issue that needs to be addressed in all cities of the world. Simultaneously, information technology is undergoing a period of great development, and it is important to exploit this development in the service of society, particularly in terms of urban security. An Anonymous Vehicle Identification (AVI) system design is thus presented in this research. Much previous research has dealt with the development and implementation of systems to identify anonymous vehicles, and all previously proposed systems appear to work efficiently; however, some are very expensive and others require the installation of many devices within a city. Further, some of them do not transfer information to a control centre in the city using the internet.The proposed AVI system presented in this paper is thus based on Internet of Things (IoT) and consists of two main parts: a handheld device used by officers, and a web application. The handheld device is used to send car licence plate number to a website which is controlled by an authorised person. The authorised person receives the data and requests information relating to the car (car number, owner’s name and mobile number, registered address, etc.) from the Central Traffic Police Directorate, before sending these to the officer’s handheld device to allow the officer to take action based on the information and instructions from the central office. The design of web application is based on several techniques and multiple programming languages including HTML, PHP, and Java Script. These languages are compatible with each other and have thus been combined to form the desired application.The proposed system was implemented practically and tested for about 50 cases; the results obtained during testing were very satisfactory and reflect good reliability within the system.
