This thesis describes the new development of a command-line interface. The background of this assignment is a concept, which was developed at the University of Växjö, Sweden and is concerned with the quality analysis of software products. Out of this research an application was created. This application gives a developer the possibility to analyze the quality of his software products. This application is called VizzAnalyzer™ and is distributed by the company Arisa AB. The VizzAnalyzer™ is already available in various versions and the command-line interface enables the possibility to analyze software in a server environment. The interface requires the possibility to analyze and interpret any user input. The thesis concerned with various concepts and ways of implementation.

Command line and version control skills are vital to computer science students during their education and as they enter the software industry. These skills are commonly taught to undergraduate students via traditional lecturing methods and brief hands-on activities. Many students struggle with learning the Git version control system because they are not familiar with the command line, or they do not understand how Git works internally. Recent research highlights the effectiveness of using interactive visualizations to teach computer science concepts. Thus, we developed novel command line and Git exercises with interactive visualizations. These exercises integrate with learning management systems to automate grading. We tested the effectiveness of the exercises in a CS2 course at a large research institution by conducting pre-assessments before and post-assessments after the students completed the exercises. We found that students performed significantly better on both the command line and Git post-assessments than on the pre-assessments. Furthermore, we found that students with less experience with the command line and Git achieved a significantly greater improvement from the pre-assessments to the post-assessments. Additionally, we found that students with different levels of command line and Git experience did not perform differently on the exercises. Therefore, the exercises provide a novel tool for teaching command line and Git concepts to undergraduate computer science students with any level of command line and Git experience. / Master of Science / Command line is a term used to refer to a text-based user interface that allows users to interact with their computers by inputting commands.

Generating C code from MATLAB can be a powerful tool for a wide range of engineering problems. Especially in cases where MATLAB excels, including matrix operations and some of the built-in functions, code conversion may represent a significant assistance in their development. The aim of this master's thesis is to explore the possibilities of generating C code using MATLAB Coder App. As the documentation for MATLAB Coder was not found sufficient a theoretical basis for the use of this tool was introduced along with simple examples of possible applications. Next, code generation for controlling a laboratory DC motor using a microcontroller dsPIC was made automatic and controlled directly from a single MATLAB script. Individual steps were described to supplement existing documentation and to allow for an easy use. Finally, selected functions were tested for code generation. As a result, certain limitations can be outlined, as well as suitability of both the created tool and the MATLAB Coder App.

Sign language has largely been dismissed in gesture interface research on grounds of being a natural language. This essay argues that this has been premature. We begin with an overview of relevant literature in the fields of both gesture interface design and sign language, followed by a discussion of other graphical and text-based user interfaces in the context of language - effectively a short essay on language and metaphors in interface design, going into more detail why I believe dismissing sign languages based on their linguistic nature is a mistake. This is further explored in an example user interface that was designed by taking an insight from sign language as a starting point to replace the desktop metaphor and combining it with the discussed text-based interfaces to extend the WIMP paradigm. This experimental design was used as a way to pose questions to users about potential uses of gesture interfaces.

Eclipse是目前最被普遍使用的開發環境與工具整合平台。已經有很多的軟體工具被建置或整合至其中；並且有越來越多的工具開發者嘗試將他們的工具以所謂外掛程式的方式整合至此平台。但是，由於Eclipse是一套新式且複雜的平台，大多數工具開發者並不知如何將其工具封裝為Eclipse外掛程式，而且學習Eclipse外掛程式開發也需冗長過程。基於此種因素，我們構想出一套可外掛軟體(Pluggable Software)的規範，對一般命令列工具的輸入、執行和輸出等部份提出限制條件。只要工具開發者建構的工具程式符合可外掛軟體的規範，就能利用我們提供的輔助工具，幫助工具開發者迅速將其工具整合到Eclipse平台。 / Eclipse is a development environment and tool integration platform which is currently widely used. There has been many software tools built in the form of plug-ins and integrated into this platform, and more and more tool developers are trying to integrate their tools into this platform. But, since Eclipse is a relatively new and complicated system, most tool developers do not know how to develop Eclipse plug-ins, and it is a steep learning curve to get familiar with Eclipse plug-in development. Therefore, we propose the definition of pluggable softwares, which are general command line tools but must satisfy special restrictions imposed on their input, execution and output for ease of integration. As long as the tool developer can build a tool conforming to our definition, the aiding tool we provide can help the developer rapidly integrate his tool into the platform.

My Code/World is a personal artistic research of the environment in which I work as a programmer - not a physical environment, but the virtual environment of a computer interface. This research has been taking place since roughly October 2016 and its result is a collection of loosely connected pieces (sketches, experiments), that will be presented as an installation within the studio space of the Studio Graphic Design 2, Faculty of Fine Arts, BUT.

Following work deals with subject matter of digital modelling and animation of biological structures. Software tools for computer generated images (CGI), well proven in common practice, are evaluated, as well as tools for specific activities, available inside chosen software environment. Among vast pool of modelling approaches are discussed tools suitable for creation and representation of selected structures, along with tools essential for their consequent animation. Possible rendering approaches and their parameters in relation to qualities of resulting computer-generated images are discussed as well. Above-mentioned approaches will be consequently utilized for modelling, physical simulation and animation of erythrocyte’s flow throughout blood vessel in following project. Resulting output of that work will be based on series of digital images, suitable for creating video-sequence containing abovementioned animation in end-user digestible form.
