This research presents an experience of post-digital learning of biotechnology in rural areas in Colombia by implementing a massive open online course (MOOC) for biotechnology education called Open Biotec. The objective was to improve Colombian rural...

The new educational reality requires teachers to have a series of skills and competences that allow them to improve the teaching–learning process and therefore the quality of teaching, integrating technology and emerging technologies. In order...

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are physical systems whose operations are coordinated, monitored, and controlled by computing and communication functions. These systems are typically heterogeneous, including Internet of Things and information technology...

In recent years, dense retrieval has emerged as the primary method for open-domain question-answering (OpenQA). However, previous research often focused on the query side, neglecting the importance of the passage side. We believe that both the query...

This paper is designed to explicate and analyze data acquired from experimental field tests of a Tesla Model 3 lane correction module within the vehicle’s Autopilot Suite, a component of Tesla OS. The initial problem was discovered during a nominal d...

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects devices via the Internet. Network congestion is one of the key problems that has been identified by researchers in the IoT field. When there is a huge number of IoT devices connected to the internet, this creates...

This paper focuses on Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and knowledge generation out of streams of events as the primary elements concerning the creation of user-centric IoT services. We provide a general, symmetrical IoT architecture, which ena...

Accurately looking into the future was a significantly major challenge prior to the era of big data, but with rapid advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the data availability around us, this has become relat...

SQL injection is a highly detrimental web attack technique that can result in significant data leakage and compromise system integrity. To counteract the harm caused by such attacks, researchers have devoted much attention to the examination of SQL i...

In this paper, we study via simulation the performance of irregular repetition slotted ALOHA under multi-packet detection and different patterns of the load process. On the one hand, we model the arrival process with a version of the M/G/∞ proc...

This paper summarizes the work of many different authors, industries, and countries by introducing important and influential factors that will help in the development, successful adoption, and sustainable use of the Web3/metaverse and its application...

This study, focusing on identifying rare attacks in imbalanced network intrusion datasets, explored the effect of using different ratios of oversampled to undersampled data for binary classification. Two designs were compared: random undersampling be...
