Radio currently is in the middle of a change process, released by new technologies in communication. These new digital spaces supply new relationship with audience and new ways of participation. This research analyses how Ecuadorian radio channels uses new technologies and social Networks in the most important social network.
We propose and present CONIA, a novel content (provider)-oriented, namespace-independent architecture for multimedia information delivery. CONIA is designed specifically to account for the diversity and complexity of multimedia content, and to recognize the prominent roles of content providers (CPs) in the network economics of content delivery. In this paper, we provide an overview of the content...
The Information Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm promises deconstraining the current Internet architecture by allowing clients to directly address the desired content throughout the network. For the Internet this is a further evolutionary step from the idea of a narrow-waist core that only transports requests/replies to an intelligent architecture searching for and providing content. Multi-sourcing,...
This paper explains the work that the HBB4ALL project is carrying out to deploy signing services based on HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV). HbbTV is an open standard specification for the new Connected TV technology, enabling interoperability of broadcast and broadband contents on the TV set. HBB4ALL proposes to take advantage of this broadcast-broadband convergence for the deployment of access...
This paper explains the work that we have been doing since 2012 and related with what primary school teachers think about digital games in Catalan classrooms. The main objective is to discover and understand why teachers in general are not using it. While there is increasing research documenting the progress and outcomes of game-based learning and serious games, relatively little attention is paid...
The phenomenon of social networking is changing the way we interact and spending our free time. In social networks we are constantly seeking contact with people and institutions to be dealing, maintain old friends, catch up with others, meet new people or even find work. In our particular we analyze the evolution of social networks in a private university in Ecuador, the Universidad Tecnica Particular...
This paper describes advanced networking technologies that support high quality video and image communications. We focus on maintaining Internet compatibility and extracting the merit of ATM technologies. A concept of Global Mega-media Network (GMN) is introduced as the future multimedia network. As part of work associated with GMN, an overview of AMInet project and some of the promising technologies...
Network congestion has serious negative impact on the utilization and efficiency of the network resources and can result in network collapse. Minimizing congestion occurrence in a network would optimize the network performance and satisfy end users requirements. As high-speed networks are designed to offer widespread services, including real time multimedia, an efficient congestion avoidance scheme...
In recent years, the number of appliances connected to the Interned has steadily increased thanks to the wide popularity of WÌFÌ/3G enabled mobile devices. This has led to an increase of multimedia resource consumption, causing traffic overload problems for classic resource providers. Different solutions have been studied to shift this traffic overhead from the server(s) towards the client(s) through...
Now days, big data (e.g. multimedia content, document, data in social network, etc) is growing fast and requiring more big storage area which is capable to process all that data efficiently in short time as well as having efficient delivery system to deliver that data to diversity of devices when they access the internet anytime from anywhere.
This paper reports on a study that was undertaken to measure university instructors' perceptions of pedagogical use of various information and communication technologies (ICTs) and links these to their perceptions of effectiveness of students' learning experiences. Using a theoretically derived 54-item instrument and a rigorous probabilistic sampling strategy, survey data were collected from 2,626...
The interest in providing accessible public services has increased in the recent years. The advent of Electronic government (E-government) projects promises to provide huge benefits for citizens. One of the most important types of e-government services is the government to citizen (G2C) applications providing public electronic services (e-services) to citizens by the government. The purpose of this...
The Emergence of WEB 2.0 and social media technologies facilitates many social computing applications such as THREADLESS, WIKIPEDIA, GOOGLE and much more as a gateway of mediums in which vast amount of data is shared and discussed globally. These new internet technology platforms multiple broadways in which problems are shared and discussed, thus leveraging patron's globally to contribute collective...
It is indeed my greatest pleasure to welcome all delegates to the sixth International Conference on Information Technology and Multimedia (ICIMμ). Alhamdulillah, once again, College of Information Technology, Universiti Tenaga Nasional is organizing the ICIMμ. Sixteen years have passed since the first ICIMμ was held in September 1998 and the last sixteen years have witnessed the evolution of the ICIMμ...
Web application technologies for network-based various type of devices that include robots are explored. Web application development of robot services are required to provide integration of robot control and multimedia information that are characterized by dynamic, two-way communication and real-time. In this paper, we design the web application in consideration of these characteristics of robot services...
To effectively utilize storage space of edge streaming media servers, cache policies are being studied. Unlike traditional work that focused on hit ratio and overall system bandwidth cost, this paper recognize different significance of users and propose the concept of caching utility as a new metric to evaluate caching strategies. A user based caching algorithm, USCS, involving differentiated service...
The rapid development of economic society puts forward higher requirements for English talents. Currently, the English education in colleges and universities stays in the onefold teaching mode, the teaching efficiency is low, and the students do not have good English comprehensive application ability. Based on the network multimedia technology, college English teaching mode of constructivism can be...
One of the most widely used mediums of knowledge delivery within academic circles has been the traditional (lecture-driven) teaching style. This method is as old as the time span between Confucius and the present day and even though being time-tested and true, was mostly predicated on the assumption that learning occurs in a school classroom, mediated by a trained teacher. As a result, the focus was...
In this paper we propose a solution and describe one implementation of a cloud-based framework for collecting meta-data and multimedia content from the Internet related to the DTV data. The aim of the proposed solution is to acquire diverse additional information and content from various sources on the Internet and prepare them to best suit the end-users. The focus of the paper is on the design of...
This paper designs an integrated multimedia system which is able to perform intelligent controls on media devices and services in a home-based context-aware environment. In this design, this proposed system functions both of intelligent media content distribution and multimedia convergence mechanisms. Not only local media fils but enormous Internet media streams can be advertised and distributed across...
