The Great East Japan Earthquake caused catastrophic damage to Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture. A lot of relief supplies were sent to these stricken areas from all over the country in case of the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, since the relief supplies accumulation hub got confused by management and sorting work of relief supplies, "the relief supplies shortage...
Building a cloud-based e-learning platform using the approach of the research field of learning analytics is the overall goal of this research study. With the strengths of a cloud service it is possible to add value to the learning process for all stakeholders. With such a solution, the process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data becomes rather easily. This research study aims to introduce...
Cloud services must upgrade continuously in order to maintain competitive. However, a large body of empirical evidence suggests that, upgrade procedures used in practice are failure-prone and often cause planned or unplanned downtime. In this paper, we first define what is cloud service online upgrade, and then we analyze the shortcomings of current mainstream cloud service online upgrade mechanisms...
An EAP method, EAP-ATN, is proposed for controlling accesses to services provided to general public in open environments, such as public wireless LAN access services. Automated Trust Negotiation (ATN) is a framework where a service provider and a client collaboratively determine whether to trust each other by exchanging credentials. By performing ATN as an EAP method, flexible and secure usage of...

At present, because of the extensive development of Cloud Computing technologies, we made use of many styles that provided many services via network. you built original private cloud in own company or university and so on. They use this environment and provide many various services. For example, Edubase is an integration platform managed by the Center for Global Research in Advanced Software Science...
Various e-learning systems that support remote education have been developed utilizing information technology. However, it is still not easy to communicate smoothly and to evaluate how well users of such systems have understood. We focus on communication support with make-believe play and propose a real-space sharing edutainment system that allows its users to enjoy make-believe play. We develop a...
Recent proliferation of Wireless LAN devices has created a high demand for roaming systems that enable network connections at visited institutions using users' home accounts. We have been operating eduroam, the roaming system for international research and educational institutions. However, if the roaming system is to be introduced into more than a thousand of research and educational institutions...
Agile methods in software development projects gained importance and have become widely accepted in recent years. The high application rate in commercial software development finds it counterpart in academic research and externally funded university projects but is seldom taught and applied in practical student courses. On the basis of a case study, this paper briefly describes the education of agile...
