Abstract
Visual coherence between virtual and real objects is a major issue in creating convincing augmented reality (AR) applications. To achieve this seamless integration, actual light conditions must be determined in real time to ensure that virtual objects are correctly illuminated and cast consistent shadows. In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate daylight illumination and use this information in outdoor AR applications to render virtual objects with coherent shadows. The illumination parameters are acquired in real time from context-aware live sensor data. The method works under unprepared natural conditions. We also present a novel and rapid implementation of a state-of-the-art skylight model, from which the illumination parameters are derived. The Sun's position is calculated based on the user location and time of day, with the relative rotational differences estimated from a gyroscope, compass and accelerometer. The results illustrated that our method can generate visually credible AR scenes with consistent shadows rendered from recovered illumination.

Abstract
Misinformation became pervasive on social media applications. The companies behind this kind of system have launched tools to avoid the problem, but some issues regarding the user behavior and proper software quality still need a forceful approach. First attempts to mitigate misinformation did not take into account user behavior and softwares requirements like learnability and accuracy, furthermore the characteristics of actors and artifacts from social media applications ecosystem has not been explored. This research aims to evaluate the usability of available tools made to combat the spread of misinformation and to verify the interrelationship between actors and artifacts from social media applications ecosystem for suggesting improvements on development of these tools.

Abstract
The K framework is a rewrite logic-based framework for defining programming language semantics suitable for formal reasoning about programs and programming languages. In this paper, we present K-Taint, a rewriting logic-based executable semantics in the K framework for taint analysis of an imperative programming language. Our K semantics can be seen as a sound approximation of programs semantics in the corresponding security type domain. More specifically, as a foundation to this objective, we extend to the case of taint analysis the semantically sound flow-sensitive security type system by Hunt and Sands's, considering a support to the interprocedural analysis as well. With respect to the existing methods, K-Taint supports context- and flow-sensitive analysis, reduces false alarms, and provides a scalable solution. Experimental evaluation on several benchmark codes demonstrates encouraging results as an improvement in the precision of the analysis.

Mobile Applications and Solutions for Social Inclusion

Abstract
The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by leg pain during walking, and a recommended treatment for this disease is to perform supervised physical activity. In this chapter, a system that monitories the physical activity containing one application for smartwatch, one application for smartphone, and a back-end webservice is presented. The applications collect heart rate, GPS locations, step count, and altitude data. The methodology used for the development of the system was based on the agile method with the production of prototypes. In this chapter, four development cycles, which cover the users' and researchers' needs, are presented. In this work, the main objective is to evaluate the current mobile technologies on the physical activity data collection and the development of a system that assists the users to maintain an active life. © 2018, IGI Global.

7th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies, SLATE 2018, June 21-22, 2018, Guimaraes, Portugal

Abstract
Quizzes are a widely used form of assessment, supported in many e-learning systems. Mooshak is a web system which supports automated assessment in computer science. This paper presents Moozz, a quiz assessment environment for Mooshak 2.0, with its own XML definition for describing quizzes. This definition is used for: interoperability with different e-learning systems, generating HTML-based forms, storing student answers, marking final submissions and generating feedback. Furthermore, Moozz also includes an authoring tool for creating quizzes. The paper describes Moozz, its quiz definition language and architecture, and details its implementation. © Hélder Correia, José Paulo Leal and José Carlos Paiva.
