2. 1. The role of ICT in the shift towards student-centred learning in higher education : Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique: A case study

   Author : Xavier Muianga; Henrik Hansson; Jarkko Suhonen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ICT; student-centred learning; pedagogical innovation; educational models; factors in ICT implementation; professional development; higher education; developing countries; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Over recent decades, there has been a significant rise in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and a greater emphasis on student-centred learning (SCL) in higher education all over the world. The introduction of ICT- and SCL-based approaches is intended to improve the quality of teaching and learning to better prepare students for the 21st century workplace. READ MORE

   Abstract : The Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle consists of four phases: design and analysis, configuration, enactment, and evaluation - also known as performance analysis and improvement. Performance analysis and improvement of business processes, one of the core phases in the BPM life cycle, is becoming on top of the agenda for many enterprises. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving Performance and Quality-of-Service through the Task-Parallel Model​ : Optimizations and Future Directions for OpenMP

   Author : Artur Podobas; Mats Brorsson; Georgi Gaydadjiev; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Task Parallel; OpenMP; Scheduling; OmpSs; multicore; manycore; Datalogi; Computer Science;

   Abstract : With the failure of Dennard's scaling, which stated that shrinking transistors will be more power-efficient, computer hardware has today become very divergent. Initially the change only concerned the number of processor on a chip (multicores), but has today further escalated into complex heterogeneous system with non-intuitive properties -- properties that can improve performance and power consumption but also strain the programmer expected to develop on them.

6. 4. Improving OpenMP Productivity with Data Locality Optimizations and High-resolution Performance Analysis

   Author : Ananya Muddukrishna; Mats Brorsson; Nawal Copty; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OpenMP; Performance Analysis; Scheduling; Locality Optimizations;

   Abstract : The combination of high-performance parallel programming and multi-core processors is the dominant approach to meet the ever increasing demand for computing performance today. The thesis is centered around OpenMP, a popular parallel programming API standard that enables programmers to quickly get started with writing parallel programs. READ MORE
