Our current students belong to a new generation that lives with Internet, uses computers, and plays video games as natural skills. For that generation, education based on traditional classes is difficult. In this contribution, we propose learning RADAR fundamentals by using video games. The newly designed game is described, and has been tested by a group of students. Their learning results are promising...
A remote environment proposed in the paper enables the study electrical drives via the Web. The active learning concept of the distance education and the set of Internet-based laboratory works open the possibility to learn Basic and Advanced Courses of Electrical Drive providing a lot of benefits for both the learners and the faculty. The remote labs for the bachelor and master students are presented...
We all know that the development of science and technology from the middle of the twentieth century has been closely associated with computers. For nearly half a century, computers have been present in the life of my family and have largely determined it. We were not just witnessing the formation of the computer epoch, but also we were active participants in the upcoming era of "second literacy".
Robotics, as a multi-disciplinary branch of science and technology, is concerned with a variety of computer-controlled electro-mechanical structures designed for a multitude of applications. Less than a decade ago, robotics was a graduate-level field of research in engineering & computer science offered only at a few large engineering institutions. It has now become an engineering discipline of...
The paper dwells on the national practices of applying the methods typical of exact sciences -- mathematics and computer science -- to humanities such as historical studies, source studies, museology, archive science and librarianship, insofar as the collection of artifacts and the historical, scholarly and cultural heritage are concerned. The methodological foundation of this interaction is interdisciplinarity.
Internet-based school management information system has played an important role in schools. It has not only improved work efficiency to some extent, but also helps to timely process all kinds of educational problems and be beneficial to the standardization of educational administration system.

With the rapid development of the Internet, the transmission of information between people has become simple and convenient. In the public Internet, the confidentiality of information is an important issue. This problem can be solved easily by using steganography, which also is referred to as 'data hiding.' In 2006, Zhang and Wang proposed an 'exploiting modification direction' (EMD) scheme in which...
Since adversaries may spoof their source IPs in their attacks, traceback schemes have been proposed to identify the attack source. Among these methods, Hybrid IP traceback schemes fuse packet marking and packet logging, using only one packet for traceback and reducing the storage requirements during packet logging. However, if a hybrid traceback scheme logs a packet's digests on a router, the router's...
