ABSTRACT
This paper presented a simple and easy-To-use intelligent mirror with the activated function by face recognition. Firstly, the function of face recognition was realized by the OpenMV platform, and the recognition information was transmitted to the main controller, i.e., Loongson 1C Zhilong development board. The main controller connected to the Django server through the distant communication function of ESP8266 module. The user's schedules were acquisitioned by such a communication pathway and analyzed by the main controller. Finally, the recognized user's business or traveling schedule was shown on a screen located in the rear of a semitransparent mirror. For strangers of this smart mirror, the successful rate of strangers was 100%. For the user, the successful rate of strangers was 90% and accuracy of user's recognition was 100% in 120 times of tests. Furthermore, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System supports a nice performance for Automatic classification in computer simulation. The COVID-19 pandemic is still threatening human beings. A smart mirror with the function of face recognition activation is a non-Touching solution for avoiding the infections to support an idea for elevating human health. © 2023 Global IT Research Institute (GiRI).
ABSTRACT
Web applications have experienced a widespread adaptation owing to the agile Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) reflecting the ever-changing software needs of users. Google Meet is one of the top video conferencing applications, especially in the post-COVID19 era. Security and privacy concerns are therefore critical. This paper presents an extensive digital forensic analysis of Google Meet running on multiple browsers and software platforms including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers in Windows 10 and Linux. Artifacts, traces of potential evidence, are extracted from different locations on a client's desktop, including the memory and browser. These include meeting records, communication records, email addresses, profile pictures, history, downloads, bookmarks, cache, cookies, etc. We explore how different Random Access Memory (RAM) sizes of client devices impact the persistence and format of extracted memory artifacts. A memory artifact extraction tool is developed to automate the extraction of artifacts identified via unstructured string analysis. Google Meet forensic artifacts are critical in that they are potential digital evidence in relevant criminal investigations. Additionally, they highlight that user data can be extracted despite implementing multiple privacy and security mechanisms. © 2022 The Author(s)
ABSTRACT
The following paper presents L2Ork Tweeter, a new control-data-driven free and open source crowdsourced telematic musicking platform and a new interface for musical expression that deterministically addresses three of the greatest challenges associated with the telematic music medium, that of latency, sync, and bandwidth. Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tweeter's introduction in April 2020 has ensured uninterrupted operation of Virginia Tech's Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork), resulting in 6 international performances over the past 18 months. In addition to enabling tightly-timed sync between clients, it also uniquely supports all stages of NIME-centric telematic musicking, from collaborative instrument design and instruction, to improvisation, composition, rehearsal, and performance, including audience participation. Tweeter is also envisioned as a prototype for the crowdsourced approach to telematic musicking. Below, the paper delves deeper into motivation, constraints, design and implementation, and the observed impact as an applied instance of a proposed paradigm-shift in telematic musicking and its newfound identity fueled by the live crowdsourced telematic music genre. © 2022, International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression.

ABSTRACT
An increasing number of companies move to a touchless user interface, partly because of the pandemic's impact and the restricted rules of using public access objects. The market for Zero User Interface is increasing and industrial implementations are growing and promising. Currently, the knowledge of keeping yourself healthy and clean is essential to prevent the spread of Covid-19 disease. A proposed project - a hand gesture-controlled application to properly guide the user through the handwashing process can increase the overall level of hygiene in public. The solution is realized with a transfer learning method based on EfficientNet Lite models making it possible to run on Android, iOS, embedded Linux devices, and microcontrollers. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
This paper describes a novel project-oriented system on chip (SoC) design course. The course is taught in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at the University of Texas at Arlington and is offered as CSE 4356 System on Chip Design for computer engineering undergraduates, as CSE 5356 for computer engineering graduate students, and as EE 5315 for electrical engineering graduate students. It is taught as one course combining all numbers. All students are given the same lectures, course materials, assignments, and projects. Grading standards and expectations are the same for all students as well. The course in its current form was first offered in fall 2020 and was taught online due to COVID-19 restrictions. The course was offered again in fall 2021 in a traditional on-campus, in-person mode of delivery. Two seasoned educators, with more than eighty years of total teaching experience, combined to team teach the course. One also brought more than thirty years of industrial design experience to the course. SoC FPGA devices have been available for use by designers for more than 10 years and are widely used in applications that require both an embedded microcomputer and FPGA-based logic for real-time computationally-intense solutions. Such solutions require skills in C programming, HDL programming, bus topologies forming the bridge between FPGA fabric and the microprocessor space, Linux operating systems and virtualization, and kernel device driver development. The breadth of the skills that were conveyed to students necessitated a team teaching approach to leverage the diverse background of the instructors. With such a wide range of topics, one of the biggest challenges was developing a course that was approachable for a greatly varied population of students - a mix of Computer Engineering (CpE) and Electrical Engineering (EE) students at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Another, perhaps less obvious, challenge was the inherently application focus of the course, which presents challenges to many graduate students whose undergraduate degree lacked a robust hands-on design experience. Selection of an appropriate project was key to making the course effective and providing a fun learning experience for students. The projects were aligned to relevant industry applications, stressing complex modern intellectual property (IP) work flows, while still being approachable to students. The design of a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) IP module in 2020 and a serial peripheral interface (SPI) IP module in 2021 were chosen as the projects for the first two offerings of the course. The Terasic/Intel DE1-SoC development board and Intel Quartus Prime 18.1 design software were the technologies chosen for the course. The development board and basic test instruments were provided to each student in a take-home lab kit. The system on chip design course has proven to be a popular but challenging course for our undergraduate and graduate students in computer engineering and electrical engineering. The course has demonstrated that it is possible to successfully teach an advanced design-oriented course to students of varying majors, levels, educational backgrounds, and cultures. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022.

ABSTRACT
The rapid transition to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic left many instructors needing to redesign their course projects as students no longer had access to physical hardware. This paper describes the development of an open-source containerized RISC-V based game console emulator that replaced physical hardware for use in course projects. The tool was initially designed and used in a graduate operating systems course and then subsequently used in a lower division computer organization and machine-dependent programming course. The container provides a full toolchain with gcc compiler, RISC-V game console emulator with integrated debugger, example program, and input recording/auto-run tool designed for auto-grading. The use of a container reduced the barrier to entry for the students allowing them to get up and running in a relatively short period of time. Given the successful deployment of the tool in the previous courses, the tool was used both again in the lower division course and in the upper division undergraduate operating systems course this past fall. © 2022 Owner/Author.
ABSTRACT
This paper uses VMware virtual machine and ghost technology to design virtual simulation experiment teaching case. In the Vmware virtual machine environment, the approach of project-led and task-driven is used to carry out for related experiments such as computer system construction, BIOS system application and security, hard disk management, operating system installation, system backup and restoration, image and cloning of partition and disk and so on. With OBE as the experimental teaching concept, a comprehensive virtual simulation experimental teaching case is designed. The teaching case design implements CDIO thinking, emphasizes process education, and cultivates the ability to analyze and solve problems. In the teaching process, the ideas of case conception, case design, case implementation, case operation and result analysis and summary are implemented. This virtual simulation experiment teaching case relies on the private cloud server platform in the school, adopts B / S architecture, and is shared and opened through internet, which can facilitate the implementation of online and offline experimental teaching, as well as experimental exercises and assessments. During the COVID-19 epidemic, it provides online experimental teaching environment and student training environment for relevant experimental teaching in courses such as "Computer System Security", "Information Security", "Computer System Maintenance", "Operating System and Application", "Computer Assembly and Maintenance"and other courses. It effectively solves the problems of inconvenience to carry out relevant experimental teaching through physical machine and the inability to carry out experimental teaching and conducting experiments online. It helps to improve the quality and effect of experimental teaching, increase the rate of experimentation and save experimental cost. © 2021 ACM.
ABSTRACT
The current state of technology with recent explosions in the digital processing of paperwork, computer networking use, and online and virtual approaches to areas, which until very recently had traditional and non-computerized ways of operating, led to a steady increase in the demand for jobs in the area of computer science and cybersecurity. The education system, the pipeline for the incoming workforce, needs to keep up with this tremendous pace in technology and the job market. The current K-12 school system has been extensively challenged to fill out necessary positions in order to address the increasing need for programs that respond to industry and government entity gaps in employment. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a large segment of the economy to swiftly move to virtual working and virtual learning. This further increased the already large demand for cybersecurity jobs and accelerated the pace at which the development of necessary education pathways is required. The education system, on all different levels, needs to adjust to this pace in order to enable a large number of future graduates to fill these new jobs. There is currently a large gap in the number of K-12 level teachers available in the area of career and technical education. One possible solution to this problem may come from a specific segment of the workforce, veterans. This paper will provide an overview of different challenges that many veterans are facing after joining career switcher programs for future teachers. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021
