Cloud computing technology has been influential in overcoming problems in e-learning systems, such as the lack of scalability and storage limitation. Therefore, a framework for applying cloud computing on e-learning systems has been prepared. However, to develop a cloud-based e-learning system that matches well with the learners' needs and solves the current problems, it is important to know the learners'...
New trends in cardiosignal processing show that local fluctuations of the signals may reveal important information for computer-aided analysis. Even though the calculation of variance as a global measure is valuable, variation described locally and in one or more scales can represent a convenient way to describe details found in a signal. In this paper, several experimental results obtained using...
In order to successfully deliver Mobile-Based Assessments in any educational setting, it is of great importance to investigate the factors that influence its adoption from the students. The present study aims to explain and predict the Technology Acceptance Model constructs “Attitudes towards Using” (ATU) and “Intention to Use” (ITU) mobile-based assessment from the perspective of the Self-Determination...
In the twenty first century education plays a very important role to develop a nation. There are many barriers and enhance factors that effect on the adoption and use of ICT for teachers. The aim of this paper is the comparison of barriers and enhance factors on the adoption and use of ICT into teaching and learning. This aim is achieved by identifying the factors that affect teachers' barriers and...
The demand on online courses to achieve higher education skills and knowledge has been rising during the last years. More and more people study academic subjects in parallel of having part-time or even full-time jobs. One of the most important challenges of e-learning solutions is to reproduce the features of a higher education institution's campus as completely as possible to students who attend...
The Information technology (IT) plays a key role in the functioning of the modern era. The evolution of computer is very fast. It improves the efficiency of processing, the capacity of memory and the transmission rate of network. The procurement department will procure the new resources. They did not know that equipment suit any budget because they may not track changes or the development of a computer...
The future of hardware development lies in massively parallel hardware architectures as used in embedded as well as high-performance systems, for instance streaming-based, realtime and database applications. Especially field-programmable gate arrays provide a platform for the rapid development of integrated circuits and the accompanied software. For reasons of energy efficiency, it is increasingly...
We live in age of knowledge and huge information technology, which lead to an ongoing debate about the role that information technology can play for knowledge management. On the one hand, information technology is used in organizations, and thus qualifies as a natural medium for the flow of knowledge to achieve their goals. At the other end of the spectrum, leading knowledge management theorists have...
Big data is a set of very large and complex data that is hard to load on computers. The main challenge in big data world is related to their search, categorize and analyze specially, when they are unbalanced. Despite, there are a lot of works in the field of big data but analyzing unbalanced big data is still a fundamental challenge in this area. In this paper we try to solve the problem of RSIO-LFCM...
As traditional lecture styles have become nowadays less desirable and profitable, more and more demands are made on the part of both teachers and learners. One way of helping teachers fulfil their students' ‘growing’ needs in the age of globalisation is through the introduction of technology in the classroom. The present paper, therefore, intends to exploit the notion of cultural responsiveness in...
This paper analyses the effectiveness of random passwords used in South Indian languages in terms of their entropy value with an objective of recommending passwords with mandatory minimum length to enhance the security aspects in relation to their predictability.
Semantic computing is an important task in the research of natural language processing. For the problem of the inaccurate conceptual graph matching, this paper proposed the algorithm based on Conceptual sub-Graph weight self-adjustment. Based on the in tensional logic model of Chinese concept connotation, using Recursive Conceptual Graph as knowledge representation method and combining with the computation...
Integratedly use the knowledge of the social network theory based on the traditional trust, and compute the trust of the users of online auction transactions, because of lack of Intelligence, flexibility and initiative in current recommendation system, the Auction Mechanism Based Distributed Personalized Recommendation System was proposed. In this system, intelligent agent technology was used. The...
In this paper, we introduce two concepts, penalty capability and reward capability of decomposable balance function, discuss some properties of two kinds of balance function including summing and multiplying decomposable balance function invariable weight decision making, and investigate the influence of the balance function for the measure of orness for the variable weight vector. These results will...
Based on the current problems such as inadequate server's processing and storage capacity, inconvenient operation and deficient interactivity in the information management system for academic administration in vocational colleges, we develop a cloud computing-based mobile teaching management and evaluation system in vocational colleges, which solves the problems in the present teaching management...
First, the paper gives the definition of the strongly row (column) full rank matrix, the quasi-upper triangular matrix and the quasi-lower triangular matrix of the m × n matrix. Then the triangular factorization is generalized to the m × n matrix, and some factorization theorems are obtained. By using the triangular factorization, the linear equations with strongly row (column) full rank coefficient...
The gaming system used during the process of neurorehabilitation is developed. It is composed of: acquisition component - Wacom Intuos4 XL tablet, and a computer which processes data and uses them as control signals in Internet game. Monitoring of either personal progress or success of other users using the presented platform is enabled by special evaluation system which provides comparison of the...
Online discussion in educational social networks can be considered an application of the social constructivism theory. In fact, social constructivism is applicable to all educational contents and activities, including social networking activities. In this paper we present a case study of using social networks for online discussions in a university level course and discuss the results of this case...
This paper reports on the main piloting of the StartUp_EU (http://www.startup.odl.org/) Lifelong Learning European Project. StartUp_EU aimed at simulating the excitement and creative innovation of starting up new company. The project developed a series of serious mini-games, an encompassing Web2.0 platform based on ILIAS Learning Content Management System (LCMS) and a collaborative competition for...
