Abstract Interacting with businesses, searching for information, or accessing news and entertainment sources all have a common feature, they are predominately accessed nowadays from mobile applications. The software architecture used in building those kinds of products represents a major factor in their lifecycle, costs, and roadmap, as it affects their maintainability and extensibility. In…
Abstract In the last years, a wide range of new similarity measures has been designed and applied to different contexts. Currently, there’s a deep lack in the validation and evaluation steps for novel similarities. In general, new measures are validated mostly through numerical experiments using different data sets. But this is not enough, as…
Abstract Education, like the large majority of domains, has been impacted by the rapid development of communications and technology. What was perceived before as an ideal, i.e., the enhancement of the learning process through modern techniques, now it has been rapidly transformed into a mandatory requirement due to the current COVID-19 pandemic . Edutainment…
Abstract Determining the critical nodes in a network given a certain network measure is a computational challenging problem that requires the design of adaptive and scalable algorithms. The number of connected components in a graph is an example of such a measure: in this case the nodes considered critical are those that, if removed…
Abstract Critical node detection is a crucial task in network analysis. In this article a new problem is proposed, the critical node detection in hypergraphs, which are a generalization of the ‘traditional’ graphs. A genetic algorithm is proposed to solve this problem and as an application an inflation dataset is transformed in a hypergraph…
Abstract An important problem in network science is finding relevant community structures in complex networks. A community structure is a partition of the network nodes into clusters or modules, such that each cluster is densely connected. Current community detection algorithms have time complexity, centralization, and scalability issues. In this paper, to solve this problem,…
Abstract Proteins are essential molecules, that must correctly perform their roles for the good health of living organisms. The majority of proteins operate in complexes and the way they interact has pivotal influence on the proper functioning of such organisms. In this study we address the problem of protein–protein interaction and we propose and…
Abstract Fall detection (FD) has been the focus of many research studies during the last years. Developing reliable FD systems is relevant, for instance, to provide support to the elderly population in their everyday life. Besides, the generalization of the use of wearable devices (and more specifically, on-wrist devices) to measure the daily activity strongly suggests…

Abstract Education has suffered multiple changes due to technological progress. Even though the current generation of preschoolers (aged 3 to 6 years in our country) is called digital native, there is a lack of focus on introducing technology enabled learning tools for them. This paper presents our approach to designing smart learning experiences for…
