Social aspects of computing, as they appear in group decision making, fair distribution, equity of transfer etc. can often not be expressed by simple function evaluations alone. Relational mathematics, which is studied in mathematical economics and social choice theory, provides a rich and general framework and appears to to be a natural and direct way to paraphrase corresponding optimization goals,...
In recent years, the advance of wireless communication, sensing and mobile technologies has provided unprecedented opportunities to implement new learning strategies by integrating real-world learning environments and the resources of the digital world. With the help of these new technologies, individual students are able to learn in real situations with support or instructions from the computer system...
The first Institutional Research (IR) unit in Thailand was established at Chulalongkorn University (CU) in 1971 with 3 main duties: to collect data necessary for the planning, development and management of the university, to conduct research according to the requirements of the university and other research based on its regular responsibilities, and to disseminate information in different forms. An...
Page segmentation has received great attention in recent years. However, most research has been based on some pre-defined heuristics or visual cues which may be not suitable for large-scale page segmentation. In this paper, we proposed two parameters: seam degree and content similarity, to indicate the coherent degree of a page block. Instead of analyzing pre-defined heuristics or visual cues, our...
We identify that Over Design(OD) and Under Design(UD) as two basic forms of negative variability construction which can lead to both functional incompleteness and unexpected quality of both design time and run time. To make our approach practical to a whole software production processes, we propose to evaluate and measure OD and UD in terms of values under economical goals which are concretized with...
Recently, the local community frequently addresses the tourism planning through their collaboration. The process of the collaborative tourism planning consists of learning and consensus building. Without the knowledge of the tourism planning, it is difficult to begin the collaborative tourism planning. The practical cases of tourism planning are available online and include useful knowledge for other...
Various Web contents exist on the Internet in recent years, and are used by many users. But some people are so fascinated by and absorbed in Web contents that their everyday life is affected. Such a person yields to the temptation because of her/his weak will, even if s/he tries to control her/his Web access by self-control. Moreover, it is difficult for such a person to overcome the temptation because...
Involuntary movement can be classified into tremor, chorea, athetosis/dystonia, ballismus, myoclonus, or tic. In clinical settings, diagnosing a cause of involuntary movement is generally performed by observation and interview. Proper diagnosis relies on the doctor's experience and knowledge. Objective assessment tool to support doctors for discriminating involuntary movements are requested. An accelerometer...
This paper proposes a novel reciprocal recommendation method for job matching with bi-directional feedback. The proposed method uses, as mutual feedback, bilateral messages between job seekers and recruiters, such as applying to a job, scout of a seeker, and reply to the offer, on the seekers-recruiters' user network. During job matching process, user agents, as delegate of their owners, send and...
A data processor, which inputs data from wiki pages, processes the data, and outputs the processed data on a wiki page, is proposed. This data processor is designed for a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) system, which uses Arduino, Android, and Wiki software. This processor is controlled by the program which is written on a wiki page. This M2M system consists of mobile terminals and web sites with wiki software...
Reference examples and library pathfinders are conventionally used as separate sources of information in a reference service. This paper attempts to combine reference examples and library pathfinders. To achieve this objective, reference tools were used in processing. The data cooperation model could provide effective support for information searching.
