The pervasive presence of devices exploited to use and deliver entertainment text-based content can make reading easier to get but more difficult to enjoy, in particular for people with reading-related disabilities. The main solutions that allow overcoming some of the difficulties experienced by users with specific and special needs are based on content adaptation and user profiling. This paper presents...
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) aims to provide satisfying solutions in terms of both efficiency and flexibility. However, to meet the ever increasing performance demand for multimedia applications, the scale of CGRAs should be larger enough to contain more computation resources for higher processing performance. In this paper, we present a hybrid-priority configuration cache supervision...
Semantic search promises to provide more accurate result than present-day keyword matching-based search by using the knowledge represented logically (i.e., knowledge base). But, the ordinary users don't know well the complex formal query language and schema of the knowledge base. So, the system should interpret the meaning of user's keywords. Such requirements are conspicuous especially in smart media...
In this work, we present a teachable moment in the context of a physical computing and prototyping course held at our university. We tried to investigate how different brainstorming methods affected the ideation phase of a project. To do this, we conducted an experiment in which we separated teams and gave them three different ideation methods: Post-Its®, creative thinking (mind mapping) and a physical...
Content adaptation is an attractive and effective solution to resolve the mismatch of resources and properties between the delivery context and the multimedia content in heterogeneous environments. The problem with multimedia content adaptation is that there is no a single complete software solution that can satisfy all types of required adaptation needs. In order to solve this problem adaptation...
There is an increasingly number of worldwide available content on the Web, which could be reused to support learning processes. However, Web content is getting more and more structured as multimedia files and reusing it implies on using the whole file, which limits its applicability and the return on investment of its development. So, an interesting approach is the segmentation of content, structuring...
Consistent and flexible policy and charging control is one key factor for effective access control and efficient resource management in IP-based multimedia communication networks. One approach to deal with this challenge is to put more decision logic into the so-called mediation layer which is residing between the operatorspsila core network and the charging system. This article describes our research...
On the Internet, all sorts of community applications, especially social community applications, gain more and more importance every day. People in every type of community are eager to communicate, collaborate and inform themselves and others about news and information. So far the user interfaces for community applications have been Internet connected computers or advanced smart phones running standard...
