Wildfire simulators and decision support systems can assist the incident command teams in charge of tactical wildfire suppression. This paper presents a web-based wildfire simulator developed to provide real-time support for wildfire management. The paper describes the overall software architecture, the modelling chain characteristics and the results produced by the simulator considering a set of actual wildfires that occurred in the island of Sardinia, Italy. The simulator consists of a graphical user interface that deals with data input–output management, a mass-consistent model devoted to the downscaling of wind fields, and a module that provides a spatially explicit representation of wildfire propagation. The simulator is a client‐server application that is operated through a web-based graphical user interface that leaves the computational work to a dedicated server; most of the code is parallelised in order to minimise computational run-time. The validation phase demonstrated the capabilities of the simulator in providing wildfire predictions with a substantial agreement with actual wildfires, and a computational cost suitable for faster than real-time applications. The simulator is proposed as a tool to provide assistance to civil protection and fire management agencies during the incident response phase. The simulator is also appropriate for the training of personnel.

Tightly Coupled

For all e-collaboration systems, some degree of concurrency control is needed so that two people do not step on each other’s foot. The demand for good concurrency control is especially high for the tightly coupled, real-time e-collaboration systems. Such systems require quick responses to user’s actions, and typically require a WYSIWIS (what you see is what I see) graphical user interface (Ellis, Gibbs, & Rein, 1991). This requirement, together with the fact that users are often separated geographically across wide-area networks, favors a decentralized system design where the system state is replicated at each user’s site. This places further challenges on the design of concurrency control for these systems.

Style Guides

This paper describes a study in which Web style guides were characterized, compared to traditional human-computer interface (HCI) style guides, and evaluated against findings from HCI reviews of web pages and applications. Findings showed little consistency among the 21 Web style guides assessed, with 75% of recommendations appearing in only one style guide. While there was some overlap, only 20% of Web-relevant recommendations from traditional style guides were found in Web style guides. Web style guides emphasized common look and feel, information display, and navigation issues, with little mention of many issues prominent in traditional style guides such as help, message boxes, and data entry. This difference is reinforced by other results showing that Web style guides address Web information-only pages with much greater success than web-based control enabling features, like buttons and entry fields. It is concluded that while the WWW represents a unique graphical user interface (GUI) environment, development of Web style guides has been less rigorous, with issues associated with web-based control enabling features neglected.

Abstract The tool described in this article has been designed to help MT developers by implementing a web-based graphical user interface that allows to systematically compare and evaluate various MT engines/experiments using comparative analysis via automatic measures and statistics. The evaluation panel provides graphs, tests for statistical significance and n-gram statistics. We also present a demo server http://wmt.ufal.cz with WMT14 and WMT15 translations.

This paper aims to build up a model for an online remote gas and temperature checking device for worker’s safety in sewage pipelines. The device is WSN based microcontroller equipped with analog and digital sensor. The design included several units mainly: Arduino Microcontroller MQ-135, DHT11, Gas and Temperature Sensors, and the current regulator circuit. The sensors are connected with a microcontroller through an ADC for advanced flag change and information logging. An LCD show is likewise associated with the microcontroller to show the estimations. For examination and filing purposes, the information can be exchanged to a PC with a graphical UI program through a USB interface. The device displays toxic gas and workers real-time position, transmit information remotely via a graphical user interface to IBM bluemix provide adjacent help. By keeps observing, this model will prone to diminish mishaps and slowly spares an existence. The model has numerous points of interest when contrasted with other checking frameworks as far as its littler size, gigantic memory limits, on-gadget show, bring down cost and more noteworthy versatility.

Multiple Sample

Described here are instructions for building and using an inexpensive automated microscope (AMi) that has been specifically designed for viewing and imaging the contents of multi-well plates. The X, Y, Z translation stage is controlled through dedicated software (AMiGUI) that is being made freely available. Movements are controlled by an Arduino-based board running grbl, and the graphical user interface and image acquisition are controlled via a Raspberry Pi microcomputer running Python. Images can be written to the Raspberry Pi or to a remote disk. Plates with multiple sample wells at each row/column position are supported, and a script file for automated z-stack depth-of-field enhancement is written along with the images. The graphical user interface and real-time imaging also make it easy to manually inspect and capture images of individual samples.

For time deterministic control, manufacturers and system designers of computer controlled machinery use real-time based systems to satisfy stringent requirements. Standard real-time systems contain built in kernel modules and often some type of user interface written in C. With a large multidimensional system spanning many smaller objective systems, it is hard for specialists to access real-time controlled objects on the spot. Making modifications to the user interface may require a slew of compilation and linking. This article presents an Interpretive Real-Time Linux Interface, which seamlessly integrates C/C++ applications using a C/C++ interpreter. Running the application interpretively makes the interface insensitive to user customization and product upgrading. An example of an insensitive interface is given in which a CGI web based user interface written in C has been implemented allowing users to control the frequency output of a speaker through a real-time Linux system from the web.
