Method: A gamified audience response system called G-SIDRA was employed. Three gamification elements were used to motivate students in classroom activities: badges for achievements to increase engagement, points to indicate progression and performance in the subject and ranking for promoting competitiveness. A total of 90 medical students in a General and Descriptive Anatomy of the Locomotor System course were taught using G-SIDRA in the academic year 2019/2020. Smart bracelets were configured to collect heart rate measurements from 30 students with the aim of evaluating the impact of the gamification elements. The control group consisted of a sample of 110 students enrolled on the same course in the academic year 2016/2017 using non-gamified SIDRA. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between multiple choice questions (MCQ) scores obtained by using SIDRA and G-SIDRA in the four experiments (U = 1.621,50, p < 0,01 for Exp1; U = 1.950,00, p < 0,01 for Exp2; U = 955,00, p < 0,01 for Exp3; U = 2.335,00, p < 0,01 for Exp4). In the students{\textquoteright} final exam grades, statistically significant differences between students that used G-SIDRA as opposed to SIDRA (T(157) = 3.992; p = 0.044) were obtained. Concerning gamification elements, statistically significantly differences were found in comparing the pulse increases after and before the badge event in the four experiments (U = 2.484,00}, keywords = {academic achievement, Article, Audience response systems, controlled study, E - learning, e-learning, Empirical studies, empiricism, Gamification, Gamified audience response system, Heart, heart rate, heart rate measurement, Heart rate variations, Heart-rate, human, Human anatomy, human experiment, Humans, Learning systems, Likert scale, major clinical study, medical student, motivation, multiple choice test, Musculoskeletal system, Performance, satisfaction, Statistically significant difference, Students, theoretical study}, doi = {10.1016/j.cmpb.2021.106459}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85118787418\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.cmpb.2021.106459\&partnerID=40\&md5=6338f4b58ed89528e2663ca12be4c986}, author = {L{\'o}pez-Jim{\'e}nez, J.J. and Fernandez-Aleman, J.L. and Gonz{\'a}lez, L.L. and Sequeros, O.G. and Valle, B.M. and Garc{\'\i}a-Bern{\'a}, J.A. and Idri, A. and Toval, A.} } @article {Elmidaoui2022202, title = {Towards a Taxonomy of Software Maintainability Predictors: A Detailed View}, journal = {Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems}, volume = {470 LNNS}, year = {2022}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {202-210}, abstract = {To help practitioners and researchers choose the most suitable predictors when selecting from existing Software Product Maintainability Prediction (SPMP) models or designing new ones, a literature review of empirical studies on SPMP identified a large number of metrics or factors used as predictors of maintainability. However, there is a redundancy and ambiguity in both the naming and meaning of these predictors. To address this terminology issue, a one-level taxonomy of the SPMP predictors identified in the literature review have been proposed. This paper now proposes a more detailed two-level taxonomy where the first level refers to four categories, namely, software design, software size, quality attributes (or factors), and software process, the second to sub-categories, and predictors inventoried from empirical studies on SPMP. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-04829-6_18}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85130308935\&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-031-04829-6_18\&partnerID=40\&md5=e8e2d1411e399bbdb041c3d9d26ccad6}, author = {Elmidaoui, S. and Cheikhi, L. and Idri, A. and Abran, A.} } @article {Elmidaoui2019823, title = {Towards a Taxonomy of Software Maintainability Predictors}, journal = {Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing}, volume = {930}, year = {2019}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {823-832}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-16181-1_77}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85064883521\&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-030-16181-1_77\&partnerID=40\&md5=0a2c124cf59cc02604b4d34b5ed98a5a}, author = {Elmidaoui, S. and Cheikhi, L. and Idri, A.} } @conference {Saissi201794, title = {Towards XML schema extraction from deep web}, booktitle = {Colloquium in Information Science and Technology, CIST}, year = {2017}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {94-99}, abstract = {Today, not all the web is fully accessible by the web search engines.

The main concern of this discipline is to improve the quality of human-computer interaction predictive goals, preferences and context. Thus, adaptation and personalization of a document or an application for a particular user need to have information on the latter. It often referred to as {\textquoteright}user profile{\textquoteright}. A user profile modelling process must be done in two stages. These can be expressed by two questions: (1) {\textquoteright}what data?{\textquoteright} and (2) {\textquoteright}In what form will they be organized?{\textquoteright} The answer to the first question will determine all relevant information that best represents the interests and needs of the user. As for the second, it will determine the logical structure in which a profile will be modelled. This paper aims to provide answers to both questions. To do this, we begin with a presentation of different areas where the user profile can make a major contribution. In the second step, we define all the information to be included in the user profile as well as a generic model that we can adapt to different areas. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/SITA.2016.7772265}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85010301085\&doi=10.1109\%2fSITA.2016.7772265\&partnerID=40\&md5=2f2efa11599627d6b4c5ad967869851f}, author = {Anter, S. and Yazidi, M.H.E. and Zellou, A. and Idri, A.} } @conference {ElIdrissi2013134, title = {Towards a dynamic mapping in P2P mediation system}, booktitle = {2013 5th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology, CSIT 2013 - Proceedings}, year = {2013}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {134-141}, abstract = {The data sources integration, disseminated on a network is a major preoccupation in many sectors.

In this context, two types of integration systems are distinguished: the virtual integration based on mediation systems and the integration based on Peer to Peer systems (P2P).
