JSON Document Management Application to Support a Real-Time Mobile Quiz Application JSON Document management application to support a real-time mobile quiz application. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Software Engineering by Julian Wreford 15st January 2016 BSc – Software Engineering Cardiff School of Management Cardiff Metropolitan University, Llandaff, Cardiff, South Wales, United Kingdom i Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation entitled Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals is entirely my own work, and it has never been submitted nor is it currently being submitted for any other degree. Candidate: Julian Wreford Signature: Date: Supervisor: Stuart McNeil Signature: Date: ii Abstract With the growth of mobile devices and availability of mobile applications from games to utilities they have become part of everyday life. Real time mobile quiz applications have also been increasing in popularity over recent years and are now available across all smartphone and tablet devices. This project introduces quiz topic category specialisation to a real-time mobile quiz application and covered the developed of a document management application that produces and manages quiz question documents in JavaScript Object Notation in support of the quiz. This project also produced a fully functional mobile quiz application and a server- side component to support this. The aim of this project was to develop a document management application to produce JavaScript Object Notation question documents and answer the question could the document management application produce these question documents in a way that can support a real-time mobile quiz application. Development methodology combined a mix of the Spiral Model and Software Prototyping and this project used user testing and performance testing evaluations in assessing its success. From the user testing results it was found that using the document management and mobile client applications proved quite challenging due to difficulties users had navigating and using them. This fact highlighted future work to improve this. Other results from user evaluation revealed that the mobile quiz application worked well and to expected standard in terms of performance speed. Technical evaluation speed tests carried out on the server application, corroborate user evaluations, it found the server was able to query a database and produce question documents to facilitate a mobile quiz game within the expected times. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my project supervisor Stuart McNeil, for his advice and support during this project. I would also like to thank the participants who dedicated their time and gave valuable feedback for the purposes of project evaluation. iv Table of Contents Table of Contents

  • Review Selection Using Micro-Reviews
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING, VOL. 26, NO. X, XXXXX 2014 1 Review Selection Using Micro-Reviews Thanh-Son Nguyen, Hady W. Lauw, Member, IEEE, and Panayiotis Tsaparas, Member, IEEE Abstract—Given the proliferation of review content, and the fact that reviews are highly diverse and often unnecessarily verbose, users frequently face the problem of selecting the appropriate reviews to consume. Micro-reviews are emerging as a new type of online review content in the social media. Micro-reviews are posted by users of check-in services such as Foursquare. They are concise (up to 200 characters long) and highly focused, in contrast to the comprehensive and verbose reviews. In this paper, we propose a novel mining problem, which brings together these two disparate sources of review content. Specifically, we use coverage of micro-reviews as an objective for selecting a set of reviews that cover efficiently the salient aspects of an entity. Our approach consists of a two-step process: matching review sentences to micro-reviews, and selecting a small set of reviews that cover as many micro-reviews as possible, with few sentences. We formulate this objective as a combinatorial optimization problem, and show how to derive an optimal solution using Integer Linear Programming. We also propose an efficient heuristic algorithm that approximates the optimal solution. Finally, we perform a detailed evaluation of all the steps of our methodology using data collected from Foursquare and Yelp. Index Terms—Micro-review, review selection, coverage Ç 1INTRODUCTION ODAY, we can find ample review content in various Web micro-review of the place.

  • THESIS the USE of PARATEXTUAL DEVICES in BROADCAST PROMOTION: a CONTENT ANALYSIS of SEASON THREE of GLEE on FACEBOOK Submitted
    THESIS THE USE OF PARATEXTUAL DEVICES IN BROADCAST PROMOTION: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SEASON THREE OF GLEE ON FACEBOOK Submitted by Rachel Timmons Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2015 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Kirk Hallahan Scott Diffrient Rosa Martey Copyright by Rachel Timmons 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE USE OF PARATEXTUAL DEVICES IN BROADCAST PROMOTION: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SEASON THREE OF GLEE ON FACEBOOK This study analyzed all Facebook posts during the third season of the Fox Broadcast Network television show Glee (n=763), from August 2011 to May 2012. The study illustrated that Facebook posts can be considered valuable paratextual devices (Gray, 2010b) that can be used in the promotion of a television program. The program’s promoters, who served as Facebook Page administrators, used Facebook for three purposes: build viewership, enhance the live-viewing experience, and build brand awareness and engagement. Visual paratexts, such as images and videos, were used more widely than text-based paratexts. Some of the most frequently employed paratexts included previews/sneak peeks/promos, cast-member specific posts, spoilers or teasers, and music video clips. Posts were about equally split in terms of being related to specific episodes versus the show in general. Almost half of the overall posts displayed high interactivity, which prompted the users to leave the Facebook platform. These posts can be valuable if the show is interested in building brand awareness and enhancing the viewing experience, not just increasing post and Page likes.

    Leg uit Vooral in zijn spelopbouw is de game uniek daar het zich focust op real-time multiplayer. De meeste quiz-games op de markt bieden vaak enkel asynchronous gameplay modes. Switch heeft als USP (Unique selling proposition) zijn real-time multiplayer, 3D avatars en prachtige presentatie. Verder is de link naar een bestaande TV-show ook een USP. 2. Vormgeving van de personages, de setting, het verhaal en de omgeving Ja Leg uit De USP van Switch op het vlak van vormgeving zit hem vooral in het gebruik van leuke en customizable avatars. 99% van de huidige quiz-games presenteren zich als een 2D applicatie. Bij Switch maken we het onderscheid door avatars te gebruiken en alles te presenteren als een volwaardige 3D game. 3. Gebruikte muziek of sound design Ja Leg uit Voor de muziek is er samengewerkt met Vlaamse partners, Waarbij Panenka en Sonicville het sounddesign van de TV-show hebben aangeleverd om dit zo goed mogelijk te vertalen naar de game. 4. Interactiviteit, meerdere spelers, gebruikersinterface, user-generated content Ja Leg uit Zoals reeds vermeld, is één van de uitzonderlijke features van Switch zijn real-time multiplayer functionaliteit. Hier is ook op ingezet na de lancering door het uitbouwen van andere social features, zoals in-game chat functionaliteit en het vergelijken van spelprofielen. 5. Gebruik van artificiële intelligentie Nee Leg uit Er wordt bij Switch een simpele integratie gebruikt om bots te voorzien wanneer de spelers geen actieve spelers kunnen vinden. Dit is echter een eenvoudige implementatie die niet echt innovatief is en waarbij men moeilijk kan spreken van echte AI.
