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 edigital divide' unless any special support is given to the users with few knowledge. We have already...
Handcrafted beadwork produced by the BaNtwane people of South Africa is loaded with meaning. Communicating indigenous oral stories is important for passing on culture-specific traditions and community memory, such as the meaning of the handcrafted beadwork. Oral stories are told within the physical confines of the community. The community we focus on in this paper suffers from younger generations...
The next generation internet protocol version 6 was developed by the network working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), to extend and eventually replace IPv4 capabilities and brings many new features over IPv4 like large address space, flow labelling capabilities, expended address capabilities, demand for real time data transfer, security at IP level and so on. However there are...
This paper highlights how ICT could be integrated in the process of teaching and learning in the Problem Based Learning (PBL) environment. The main focus is integrating the ICT components such as multimedia and internet technologies as a tool for PBL learning environment, and utilizing the PBL approach for the delivering instructions in the teaching and learning process at UTeM. This paper also shares...
The relevance of end user documentation for improving usability, learnability and operability of software applications is well known. However, software processes often devote little effort to the production of end user documentation due to budget and time constraints, or leave it not up-to-date as new versions of the application are produced. In particular, in the field of Web applications, due to...
Now, Beijing Radio and Television University (abbreviated as BRTVU) undertakes the task of building and running Beijing Open University. To achieve the goals well, BRTVU has design and developed Beijing Open Learning System. The system provides one-stop services around students and their leaning process. The system pays attention to learning activities, and assures educational quality through the...
In recent years, E-learning has been in a continuous development, due to the fact that it eases the process of teaching, evaluation and selfevaluation, offering schedulling flexibility and a tool support. E-learning makes learning content available even in remote locations, eliminating the need to travel to the place where the content is delivered. Nevertheless, the current E-learning platforms have...
We propose a novel T-commerce model based on semantic interaction, as the TV broadcasting environment is moving to interactive digital TV such as IPTV, Hybrid TV, and Smart TV. The purpose of our work is to design and implement the system of our new T-commerce model. Thus, our system applies spatial relation rules and ontology for object recognition if a viewer is interested in one on the screen of...
Applications based on SaaS platform have been appeared as services for common users and enterprise users and an integration management of literature contents of libraries in the country is needed in the future. SaaS based literature contents integration has not been done here yet. Therefore, this paper presents SaaS based technology which integrates literature contents of public organizations or libraries...
Meta search engines can solve the low recall disadvantage of individual search engines to a certain degree. Starting with the present situation and classification of search engines, this paper made a brief introduction to the concept of meta search engines, and focused on the basic system structure and key technologies in their individual modules, finally made a short summary.
At the International Space Station (ISS) Mission Control Center, flight controllers and mission support staff utilize a large number of web-based applications to perform mission operations and crew support tasks. Although access to these applications is through a common web portal, they are separate systems, developed independently and in isolation from one another. To integrate information across...
During our research for characterizing individual computing nodes using Software Probes, one of the remaining issues for quickly probing them was that of the checkpoints' sizes. This article shows the different approaches we used in order to reduce the Probes' sizes. We demonstrate that in some cases it is possible to reduce the set of Probes of an application up to 95% of its original size, thus...
Design of on-line embedded web server is a challenging part of many embedded and real time data acquisition and control system applications. The World Wide Web is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billion of users worldwide and allows the user to interface many real time embedded applications like data acquisition, Industrial...
There have been major modifications of some of the most prevalent Windows based web browsers, with all of them primarily focusing on performance, security and user interface. But their user interfaces are not yet deliberate in making the web browsing experience optimal on a characteristically small touchscreen of slate PCs. This paper presents a proficient and convenient user interface design for...
Modern businesses like Amazon, Facebook, Google, eBay and many others have gained immense popularity, as they have been able to provide pertinent information based on user interactions with content. The prime mover for their success is the active usage of collective intelligence. The need for collective intelligence has increased with the stepping in of web 2.0. Applying it to improve user interactions...
Internet access networks in general and wireless mesh access networks in particular, are the bottleneck of today's communication networks and consequently most strongly responsible for determining the user satisfaction. The limited bandwidth and the fact that access network are most often used as mere bit pipes are however unfavorable for the users' quality of experience (QoE). The lack of application-specific...
On one hand, the convergence of the Internet, Telecommunication and Broadcasting is generating new services over the Internet, and on the other hand, the online experience is getting improved via the introduction of user profile mobility and web session mobility. While different architectural schemes for HTTP session mobility have been proposed and implemented in the academia, the industry has introduced...
A number of mobile devices such as smart phones, smart TV's, portable media players, etc. are introduced these days. They are implemented on their own operating systems so that they cannot provide compatibility of application services. To solve the problem among application services we suggest an architecture that uses a web browser as a basic application platform. The proposed architecture uses Java...
We have developed the convergence system that can control a LED matrix, a motor, LCD monitor based on an internet. In order to communicate between PC and system, we have designed user interface, it has several control functions.
This paper presents the results of a questionnaire on user behaviour during searching the Web as part of information gathering tasks. In this study, users' Web activities related to finding information, comparing information, managing information, and re-finding information, using different Web search and navigation tools, used for information gathering tasks are explored. The results indicate that...
