20. On How to Add SALT: ‘PLAYGORA’—A Real-World Case Study and Experimentation (Out of the Lab)

Abstract

This contribution presents a real world case study and experimentation based on the Serendipity, Ambiguity, Laterality, and Tangibility (SALT) conceptual architecture. We present early-stage design engineering processes (DEP) coupled with assisted human-machine creativity and directed towards research out-of-the-lab in which we engaged public participation during a nine-day public international design event in The Netherlands. The ‘Playgora’ study and experiment(s) were executed and conducted (i.e. early-stage research) with hybrid design tools (HDTs) and -environments (HDTEs) support systems imbued with SALT.

Abstract

The Bologna declaration states that, “successful learning and studying in higher education should involve students in deep learning”. However, a survey of faculty across institutes in Nepal and Bhutan highlights that the undergraduate students in engineering and management lack skills needed to be industry-ready.They face difficulty in getting employed after graduation and if placed, then struggle during their employment due to insufficient practical experience, lack of good communication skills and unawareness of larger socio-economic contexts. The Erasmus+ funded project, “Strengthening Problem-based learning in South Asian Universities”(PBL South Asia) is an endeavour to address these pressing concerns in education quality, employability and overall sustainable development of the region and to imbibe deep learning capabilities. Therefore, as an empirical study to clarify and in turn, inculcate PBL in South Asian undergraduate education, the young faculty of the inexperienced institutes from Nepal and Bhutan, alongside the students from the experienced institutes from India and Europe, were mentored by faculty and researchers from the latter to undertake multidisciplinary case studies.The strategy of ‘Design Thinking’ was employed to methodologically guide the cases and keep it consistently problem-based, i.e., the learning is driven by theproblem with no one correct solution. Results showed that the participants reflected improvement in problem-solving skills and increased motivation, apart from enhanced collaboration and improved communication ability. Based on these findings, further development of curricula to imbibe PBL in its existing courses and guidelines to train the trainers for implementation of the same, is currently in progress.

22. Understanding the Elements of Challenge and Skills in Educational Games.

Abstract

Although researchers suggest that games have a positive experience in a learning outcome, there is still a lack of investigation on the potential of game mechanics for better flow experience and learning outcome. According to the literature, the flow state in the game creates player engagement which leads to a positive learning outcome. Based on flow theory, challenge and abilities are two crucial game elements to achieve a flow state. This paper discusses the importance of conflict and competition in generating challenges. In gameplay, the players use their abilities demanded by the game to complete the challenge. This paper discusses the role of different skills required to play the game, and through these abilities, the players learn. This paper explains the correlation between challenge and various skills needed to play games. Conflict can be the better approach to generate the challenge because it is endogenous. Knowledge is a crucial ability to incorporate into educational games. This paper also explains the role of prior knowledge, and it is observed that the player achieves a better learning outcome if the game demands some level of prior knowledge to play the game.

25. The narrative functions of sound-symbolic words in comics and graphic novels.

Subjects
*GRAPHIC novels, *COMIC books, strips, etc., *NARRATIVES, *VOCABULARY, *SOUND symbolism
Abstract

A story in a comic book employs different visual elements such as images, text, speech balloons, caption boxes, symbols, and sound effects. These elements work in harmony to convey the narrative to the reader. The Sound-Symbolic Words (SSWs), popularly studied as onomatopoeias, represent various sounds to enhance the visual narrative. This paper presents an analysis of examples from popular comics and graphic novels to provide an understanding of SSWs beyond their usage for conveying sound. It investigates the contribution of SSWs to carry forward the narrative, thus bringing SSWs to the forefront at par with image and text. This study attempts to redefine the role of SSWs and their significance in visual narratives. Various narrative functions of SSWs are identified and named as temporal-marker, spatial-marker, action-marker, emotion-marker, and identity-marker. The analysis helps to draw inferences about represented sound and its importance in printed comics. The study opens up possibilities for comic book artists to deliberate on the idea of SSWs as a narrative element and to implement them creatively to produce better visual narratives.

31. Syntax of Sound Symbolic Words: A Study of the Hindi Comic Books in India.

Author

Subjects
SYNTAX (Grammar), SOUND symbolism, COMIC books, strips, etc., WORDS for sounds, ONOMATOPOEIA, FONTS & typefaces, PRINTING
Abstract

The article examines the syntax of sound symbolic words (SSW) in Hindi comic books in India. Topics discussed are the phonomime or onomatopoeia, phenomime and psychomime categories of SSW, stages of transformation of the origin of sound to its visual representation, as well as the relation of fonts and lettering, visual style, color, outer stroke, stroke color, drop shadow, grouping, shirorekha, word wrapping, and image positioning to SSW, and external supportive elements of SSW.

37. Test generation for large automotive models.

Author

Venkatesh, R., Shrotri, Ulka, Darke, Priyanka, and Bokil, Prasad

Abstract

Modeling tools such as Statemate, Simulink and Stateflow are widely used in the automotive industry to specify low level requirements and design. Systematic testing of models to achieve structural coverage such as state coverage, transition coverage or modified condition decision coverage (MCDC) helps in early defect detection. Automatic generation of test data can help in reducing the cost and improving the quality of systematic testing. Test data can be automatically generated either 1) directly from the models or 2) from the code generated from these models. In this paper we argue for and recommend the second approach. We propose generating test data from C, a formalism-independent intermediate language, as it is widely used in the embedded domain and most modeling tools have C code generators. Accurate representation of floating point number type is possible in C (that being the representation in the final executable) and there are various analysis tools that are available for C. A major challenge in using code to generate test data is scalability. To overcome this problem, we built a tool that combines available static slicing and model-checking techniques to generate test data. We conducted experiments to check if this tool can generate test data for large complex models from the automotive domain. To demonstrate formalism independence and scalability we chose industry size Statemate as well as Simulink/Stateflow models. The set up and the findings of these experiments are also presented in this paper. We successfully generated test data for code sizes as large as 50KLOC and detected several bugs in four already tested industry models thus proving the benefits of this approach.
