This paper describes the application of several network analysis techniques to the networks of users in audio clip sharing sites. Two kinds of networks are described: one based on the file downloading activity, and the other based on semantic similarity in the use of free tags to annotate sounds. The properties of these networks as well as their community structure are analyzed using data from Free...
Recently, immense multimedia information is exchanged on the Internet, where 3DCG, video, image, sound, and text are involved in various circumstances with different terminal devices, networks, and users with different knowledge and competence on using computers. This fact may easily lead to so called `digital divide' unless any special support is given to the users with few knowledge. We have already...
Currently, the broadband network new media has become an important transmission mode for video, audio and data media, holding the growing influence, meanwhile, the pirate and pornographic contents can also be easily issued, doing great harm to society, so adoption of novel and effective technical measures is in an urgent need for the spreading service contents' supervision. This paper proposes the...
NewsClipping is an indexing and aggregation application for the news domain that manages multimedia information (text, audio and audiovisual documents) without any manual annotation. The joint analysis of the text and audio from electronic newspapers, radio and TV channels provides automatic extracted information to create a multimedia news clipping. The web based interface of NewsClipping has been...
Improvements in Internet-based database connectivities and interactive interfacing allow for real-time interaction between users. While, Internet-based learning platforms facilitate, in general, exchange of text, image, and movie files, academic education in design-oriented domains needs support in knowledge exchange with respect to design related issues such as 2D drafting and 3D-4D modeling. In...
Recently, Web-based news publishing is evolving fast, as many other Internet services, and nowadays this service is trying to adapt information in manners that better fit user's interests and capabilities in the digital space. In this paper, we propose a semantic link network portal for multimedia content recommendation. The portal is based on Semantic Link Network technologies and attempts to build...
Web services are software components that allow the communication between applications in order to get the application integration. Commonly, the information exchanged through Web services invocation is XML data which need to be interpreted to understand the content. In a Web service invocation, the developments of interfaces are required to interpret both the request and the response, but is more...
The initial vision associated with multimedia is to achieve user interfaces (UI) which are highly interactive, intelligent, usable, and entertaining. Although early multimedia applications did not always fulfill these expectations, today's applications come much closer towards this vision. Examples are Rich Internet Applications like Google Maps, Edutainment Systems, or new UIs in the context of Ubiquitous...
This paper focuses on guidelines in designing platforms for collective, location-sensitive user generated content, built upon a system that allows for locating mobile subjects within the space. The process of conceptual design, design development, and technical implementation of MIT GEOblog project from a user-interaction design point of view, is used to illustrate the applicability of the guidelines...
Web applications are becoming increasingly popular. More and more types of multimedia data have been embedded into Web pages for providing abundant information and user interface. However, these complex Web pages could not be smoothly presented on devices without adequate functionalities or resource. An alternative approach is shifting tasks from resource-constrained device to surrogate with rich...
With the advancement in cell phone technologies and its increased use as a multimedia platform, we can extend its application to enhance the experience of museum visitors. Smart phones can be used to provide full personalized multimedia presentations in a museum environment. This design proposal is aimed at increasing museum visitors and, boosting profits, and greatly reducing maintenance costs for...
Recently, immense multimedia information has come to be exchanged on the Internet, where 3DCG, video, image, sound, and text are involved in various circumstances with terminal devices, networks and users different in their competences and performances. This fact may easily lead to 'digital divide' so called unless any special support is given to the weaker. We have already proposed a new concept...
The use of case studies in teaching software engineering has been steadily growing in recent years. Rich opportunities exist in both academia and industry to capture project data and turn it into learning opportunities. Unfortunately, no easy-to-use tool exists to help authors with the task of transforming un-edited material into an assembled, pre-packaged case. A recent project at Carnegie Mellon...
The art of computer-based game production is an aspiring goal and a challenging task. It involves many different activities, expertise and skills into many different areas such as: game theory, programming skills, multimedia, 2D/3D graphics and animation, sound engineering, story writing, project design and management, physics, logic design, interface programming, artificial intelligence (AI) and...
The following topics are dealt with: Internet; Web service; Web application design; next generation network; data management; grid computing; multimedia computing; online teaching; collaborative learning; virtual learning environment; user interface and peer-to-peer network.
Fast development of computer programs that use 3D objects as fragments of the user interface, or use 3D to interactively represent huge amounts of data, depends on the reuse of interactive 3D objects. Objects, which have their own behavior and are independent of particular application. To be able to reuse an object it has to be possible to find the one that matches interaction criteria of a particular...
Multimedia devices, services, and content are already distributed inside the home network. Mobility, sharing and IP based delivery mechanisms introduce additional challenges to accessibility by extending the range of distribution into interconnected home and Internet scale scenarios. However, the user should be able to access any of these targets in a satisfying, easy, and uniform way despite the...
Personal robots are designed to provide entertainment, companion and communication interfaces. They can play an important role as natural, flexible and non-invasive interfaces to access the Web. The use of personal robots as Web interfaces is in concordance with the tendency of integrating Web technologies in the normal human activities. In general terms, we propose that personal robots can implement...
