Technical advances in performing arts and TV production have focused on technologies like sound, special effects, projection and the like. New developments in computer vision have made gesture and facial expression recognition possible. What is missing is the means to link these new technologies and place them under direct control of the performer. Furthermore, performers have limited capacity to...
Developments in information technology and networking are rapidly driving the enhancement of networked appliances in the home environment. Users can request services from networked appliances via the home network framework and makes it possible to provide new concomitant capability by composing a virtual appliance. However, due to the vast number of home networked appliances and their complicated...
This paper presents an automatic user profile building and training (AUPB&T) system for speech recognition. This system uses text-to-speech (TTS) voices to improve the language models and the performance of current commercial automatic speech recognition (ASR) engines. The vocabularies of these systems are usually suited for general usage. Users have no easy means of training these engines. They...
With the recent development of industrial computing systems and human machine interface software packages, power systems research and development engineers ceased the opportunity to come up with virtual simulation tools to emulate the operation of power systems. The paper describes the development of a virtual SCADA (V-SCADA) system tool for testing and training purposes. Design engineers can test...
In this paper, we suggest a requirement engineering process that composes (merge) use cases/scenarios and yields a formal specification of the system in form of a high-level Petri net. Use cases and scenarios are acquired in form of diagrams as defined by the Unified Modeling Language (UML). These diagrams are composed and transformed into Petri net specifications and merged to obtain a global Petri...
In this paper we introduce a new dynamic document adaptation technique for mobile devices. Handheld interfaces most likely invite a goal-directed kind of use - not only because of the limited interaction mechanisms of such devices, but also because of the situations in which they are used. We will explain how the context profile and the user profile can be used, in the first step, to automatically...
