Clustering in education is important in identifying groups of objects in order to find linked patterns of correlations in educational datasets. As such, MOOCs provide a rich source of educational datasets which enable a wide selection of options to carry out clustering and an opportunity for cohort analyses. In this experience paper, five research studies on clustering in MOOCs are reviewed, drawing out several reasonings, methods, and students’ clusters that reflect certain kinds of learning behaviours. The collection of the varied clusters shows that each study identifies and defines clusters according to distinctive engagement patterns. Implications and a summary are provided at the end of the paper.
First come, first served: Critical choices between alternative actions are often made based on events external to an organization, and reacting promptly to their occurrence can be a major advantage over the competition. In Business Process Management (BPM), such deferred choices can be expressed in process models, and they are an important aspect of process engines. Blockchain-based process execution approaches are no exception to this, but are severely limited by the inherent properties of the platform: The isolated environment prevents direct access to external entities and data, and the non-continual runtime based entirely on atomic transactions impedes the monitoring and detection of events. In this paper we provide an in-depth examination of the semantics of deferred choice, and transfer them to environments such as the blockchain. We introduce and compare several oracle architectures able to satisfy certain requirements, and show that they can be implemented using state-of-the-art blockchain technology.

The goal of this paper is to study the demand factors driving enrollment in massive open online courses. Using course level data from a French MOOC platform, we study the course, teacher and institution related characteristics that influence the enrollment decision of students, in a setting where enrollment is open to all students without administrative barriers. Coverage from social and traditional media done around the course is a key driver. In addition, the language of instruction and the (estimated) amount of work needed to complete the course also have a significant impact. The data also suggests that the presence of same-side externalities is limited. Finally, preferences of national and of international students tend to differ on several dimensions.
VLDB 2021
(2021)
The 47th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB'21) was held on August 16-20, 2021 as a hybrid conference. It attracted 180 in-person attendees in Copenhagen and 840 remote attendees. In this paper, we describe our key decisions as general chairs and program committee chairs and share the lessons we learned.
Virtualizing physical space
(2021)
The true cost for virtual reality is not the hardware, but the physical space it requires, as a one-to-one mapping of physical space to virtual space allows for the most immersive way of navigating in virtual reality. Such “real-walking” requires physical space to be of the same size and the same shape of the virtual world represented. This generally prevents real-walking applications from running on any space that they were not designed for.
To reduce virtual reality’s demand for physical space, creators of such applications let users navigate virtual space by means of a treadmill, altered mappings of physical to virtual space, hand-held controllers, or gesture-based techniques. While all of these solutions succeed at reducing virtual reality’s demand for physical space, none of them reach the same level of immersion that real-walking provides.
Our approach is to virtualize physical space: instead of accessing physical space directly, we allow applications to express their need for space in an abstract way, which our software systems then map to the physical space available. We allow real-walking applications to run in spaces of different size, different shape, and in spaces containing different physical objects. We also allow users immersed in different virtual environments to share the same space.
Our systems achieve this by using a tracking volume-independent representation of real-walking experiences — a graph structure that expresses the spatial and logical relationships between virtual locations, virtual elements contained within those locations, and user interactions with those elements. When run in a specific physical space, this graph representation is used to define a custom mapping of the elements of the virtual reality application and the physical space by parsing the graph using a constraint solver. To re-use space, our system splits virtual scenes and overlap virtual geometry. The system derives this split by means of hierarchically clustering of our virtual objects as nodes of our bi-partite directed graph that represents the logical ordering of events of the experience. We let applications express their demands for physical space and use pre-emptive scheduling between applications to have them share space. We present several application examples enabled by our system. They all enable real-walking, despite being mapped to physical spaces of different size and shape, containing different physical objects or other users.
We see substantial real-world impact in our systems. Today’s commercial virtual reality applications are generally designing to be navigated using less immersive solutions, as this allows them to be operated on any tracking volume. While this is a commercial necessity for the developers, it misses out on the higher immersion offered by real-walking. We let developers overcome this hurdle by allowing experiences to bring real-walking to any tracking volume, thus potentially bringing real-walking to consumers.
Die eigentlichen Kosten für Virtual Reality Anwendungen entstehen nicht primär durch die erforderliche Hardware, sondern durch die Nutzung von physischem Raum, da die eins-zu-eins Abbildung von physischem auf virtuellem Raum die immersivste Art von Navigation ermöglicht. Dieses als „Real-Walking“ bezeichnete Erlebnis erfordert hinsichtlich Größe und Form eine Entsprechung von physischem Raum und virtueller Welt. Resultierend daraus können Real-Walking-Anwendungen nicht an Orten angewandt werden, für die sie nicht entwickelt wurden.
Um den Bedarf an physischem Raum zu reduzieren, lassen Entwickler von Virtual Reality-Anwendungen ihre Nutzer auf verschiedene Arten navigieren, etwa mit Hilfe eines Laufbandes, verfälschten Abbildungen von physischem zu virtuellem Raum, Handheld-Controllern oder gestenbasierten Techniken. All diese Lösungen reduzieren zwar den Bedarf an physischem Raum, erreichen jedoch nicht denselben Grad an Immersion, den Real-Walking bietet.
Unser Ansatz zielt darauf, physischen Raum zu virtualisieren: Anstatt auf den physischen Raum direkt zuzugreifen, lassen wir Anwendungen ihren Raumbedarf auf abstrakte Weise formulieren, den unsere Softwaresysteme anschließend auf den verfügbaren physischen Raum abbilden. Dadurch ermöglichen wir Real-Walking-Anwendungen Räume mit unterschiedlichen Größen und Formen und Räume, die unterschiedliche physische Objekte enthalten, zu nutzen. Wir ermöglichen auch die zeitgleiche Nutzung desselben Raums durch mehrere Nutzer verschiedener Real-Walking-Anwendungen.
Unsere Systeme erreichen dieses Resultat durch eine Repräsentation von Real-Walking-Erfahrungen, die unabhängig sind vom gegebenen Trackingvolumen – eine Graphenstruktur, die die räumlichen und logischen Beziehungen zwischen virtuellen Orten, den virtuellen Elementen innerhalb dieser Orte, und Benutzerinteraktionen mit diesen Elementen, ausdrückt. Bei der Instanziierung der Anwendung in einem bestimmten physischen Raum wird diese Graphenstruktur und ein Constraint Solver verwendet, um eine individuelle Abbildung der virtuellen Elemente auf den physischen Raum zu erreichen. Zur mehrmaligen Verwendung des Raumes teilt unser System virtuelle Szenen und überlagert virtuelle Geometrie. Das System leitet diese Aufteilung anhand eines hierarchischen Clusterings unserer virtuellen Objekte ab, die als Knoten unseres bi-partiten, gerichteten Graphen die logische Reihenfolge aller Ereignisse repräsentieren. Wir verwenden präemptives Scheduling zwischen den Anwendungen für die zeitgleiche Nutzung von physischem Raum. Wir stellen mehrere Anwendungsbeispiele vor, die Real-Walking ermöglichen – in physischen Räumen mit unterschiedlicher Größe und Form, die verschiedene physische Objekte oder weitere Nutzer enthalten.
Wir sehen in unseren Systemen substantielles Potential. Heutige Virtual Reality-Anwendungen sind bisher zwar so konzipiert, dass sie auf einem beliebigen Trackingvolumen betrieben werden können, aber aus kommerzieller Notwendigkeit kein Real-Walking beinhalten. Damit entgeht Entwicklern die Gelegenheit eine höhere Immersion herzustellen. Indem wir es ermöglichen, Real-Walking auf jedes Trackingvolumen zu bringen, geben wir Entwicklern die Möglichkeit Real-Walking zu ihren Nutzern zu bringen.
Viper
(2021)
Key-value stores (KVSs) have found wide application in modern software systems. For persistence, their data resides in slow secondary storage, which requires KVSs to employ various techniques to increase their read and write performance from and to the underlying medium. Emerging persistent memory (PMem) technologies offer data persistence at close-to-DRAM speed, making them a promising alternative to classical disk-based storage. However, simply drop-in replacing existing storage with PMem does not yield good results, as block-based access behaves differently in PMem than on disk and ignores PMem's byte addressability, layout, and unique performance characteristics. In this paper, we propose three PMem-specific access patterns and implement them in a hybrid PMem-DRAM KVS called Viper. We employ a DRAM-based hash index and a PMem-aware storage layout to utilize the random-write speed of DRAM and efficient sequential-write performance PMem. Our evaluation shows that Viper significantly outperforms existing KVSs for core KVS operations while providing full data persistence. Moreover, Viper outperforms existing PMem-only, hybrid, and disk-based KVSs by 4-18x for write workloads, while matching or surpassing their get performance.

MOOCs have been produced using a variety of instructional design approaches and frameworks. This paper presents experiences from the instructional approach based on the ADDIE model applied to designing and producing MOOCs in the Erasmus+ strategic partnership on Open Badge Ecosystem for Research Data Management (OBERRED). Specifically, this paper describes the case study of the production of the MOOC “Open Badges for Open Science”, delivered on the European MOOC platform EMMA. The key goal of this MOOC is to help learners develop a capacity to use Open Badges in the field of Research Data Management (RDM). To produce the MOOC, the ADDIE model was applied as a generic instructional design model and a systematic approach to the design and development following the five design phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. This paper outlines the MOOC production including methods, templates and tools used in this process including the interactive micro-content created with H5P in form of Open Educational Resources and digital credentials created with Open Badges and issued to MOOC participants upon successful completion of MOOC levels. The paper also outlines the results from qualitative evaluation, which applied the cognitive walkthrough methodology to elicit user requirements. The paper ends with conclusions about pros and cons of using the ADDIE model in MOOC production and formulates recommendations for further work in this area.
Despite advances in machine learning-based clinical prediction models, only few of such models are actually deployed in clinical contexts. Among other reasons, this is due to a lack of validation studies. In this paper, we present and discuss the validation results of a machine learning model for the prediction of acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients initially developed on the MIMIC-III dataset when applied to an external cohort of an American research hospital. To help account for the performance differences observed, we utilized interpretability methods based on feature importance, which allowed experts to scrutinize model behavior both at the global and local level, making it possible to gain further insights into why it did not behave as expected on the validation cohort. The knowledge gleaned upon derivation can be potentially useful to assist model update during validation for more generalizable and simpler models. We argue that interpretability methods should be considered by practitioners as a further tool to help explain performance differences and inform model update in validation studies.
