Due to the major lack of high school computer science teachers, there was a demand for a student modelling and recommending service. This was created, along with some extra recommender systems, such as peer recommenders, suggesting certain peers to each other as learning buddies. This system can be implemented to take away some burdens on…

As driver assistance technologies are researched, many different algorithms for this application are developed. Research needs to be done to determine how drivers react to the assistance provided by any of these algorithms. For this purpose, these algorithms should be tested with real users. A simulated driving assistance system has been developed on behalf of…
