New Publication: Defining a Domain-Specific Language for Behavior Verification of Cyber–Physical Applications

A common problem in the development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and cyber–physical system (CPS) applications is the complexity of these domains, due to their hybrid and distributed nature at multiple layers (hardware, network, communication, frameworks, etc.). This complexity often leads to implementation errors, some of which result in undesired states of Read more…

New Publication: Objective Assessment of Cognition for Detecting Subjective Cognitive Decline Is More Accurate than Subjective Estimations: The Role of Trait Affect

The early identification of cognitive decline is crucial for well-timed intervention and diagnosis, particularly in the context of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the complex interplay between trait affect, objective cognitive performance, and subjective memory estimations in a sample of 105 older adults. Using path analysis, Read more…

New Publication: A Dynamic Hypergraph-Based Encoder–Decoder Risk Model for Longitudinal Predictions of Knee Osteoarthritis Progression

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a most prevalent chronic muscoloskeletal disorder causing pain and functional impairment. Accurate predictions of KOA evolution are important for early interventions and preventive treatment planning. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic hypergraph-based risk model (DyHRM) which integrates the encoder–decoder (ED) architecture with hypergraph convolutional Read more…
