The eSleeve: a novel wearable computer configuration for the discovery of situated information - Trang 793-796
C. Randell, H.L. Muller
Describes work in progress on wearable computing configurations which provide
audio and visual output based on the position and orientation of the user. We
introduce the 'eSleeve'-a wearable wrist computer with position and heading
sensors combined with a user interface employing speech recognition and a small
display. Applications described include searching a database of locations, and
implement... hiện toàn bộ

An architectural approach to auto-adaptive systems - Trang 439-444
L. Andrade, J.L. Fiadeiro
We propose a layered architecture based on the separation of two concerns -
computation and coordination - as a means of achieving higher levels of
auto-adaptability. This separation makes it possible for adaptation to be
enforced through the reconfiguration of the system in terms of the mechanisms
that coordinate interactions, superposing connectors among components of the
system without intrudin... hiện toàn bộ

Energy-aware Web caching for mobile terminals - Trang 820-825
F. Sailhan, V. Issarny
A terminal's latency, connectivity, energy and memory are the main
characteristics of today's mobile environments whose performance may be improved
by caching. We present an adaptive scheme for mobile Web data caching, which
accounts for congestion of the wireless network and energy limitation of mobile
terminals. Our main design objective is to minimize the energy cost of
peer-to-peer communicati... hiện toàn bộ

A scalable technique for VCR-like interactions in video-on-demand applications - Trang 246-251
M.A. Tantaoui, K.A. Hua, S. Sheu
In video-on-demand (VOD) applications, it is desirable to provide the user with
the video-cassette-recorder-like (VCR) capabilities such as fast-forwarding a
video or jumping to a specific frame. We address this issue in the broadcast
framework, where each video is broadcast repeatedly on the network. Existing
techniques rely on data prefetching as the mechanism to provide this
functionality. This... hiện toàn bộ

A visual editor for multimedia application development - Trang 296-301
A. Guercio, T. Arndt, S.-K. Chang
Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly important in areas such as
education (digital libraries, training, presentation, distance learning), health
care (telemedicine, health information management, medical image systems),
entertainment (video-on-demand, music databases, interactive TV), information
dissemination (news-on-demand, advertising, TV broadcasting), and manufacturing

An XML-based dynamic network management system using Web technology - Trang 83-88
Kwoun Sup Youn, Choong Seon Hong
We propose an efficient mechanism that is used to manage network with XML. It is
an XML-based Dynamic network management system using Web. We describe a paradigm
for the retrieval and presentation of management data using XML. It facilitates
runtime agent extension and allows the MIB to be easily browsed and seamlessly
integrated with online documentation. XML also allows the interchange of data

Protocol for synchronizing multimedia objects exchanged in a group of processes - Trang 156-161
S. Hatori, K. Shimamura, M. Takizawa
In distributed applications, a group of multiple processes are cooperating where
multimedia messages are exchanged among the processes. The multimedia objects
are longer than traditional messages and are structured. If messages transmitted
in a network are causally delivered by using traditional group protocols,
computation and communication overheads are increased due to the large size of
multime... hiện toàn bộ

Performance evaluation of mobile agent on its living time and target existing rates in servers - Trang 341-346
M. Urakami, T. Sigeyasu, H. Matsuno
The performance of a mobile agent in obtaining data is evaluated by computer
simulation in terms of the number of mobile agents. As a preparation for the
simulation, two parameters "target existing rate" and "living time" of the
mobile agent are identified through experiment on the Internet. This paper
suggests that these parameters are essential factors for distinguishing a
suitable situation for... hiện toàn bộ

Bộ nhớ đệm vĩnh cửu trong Công cụ Tìm kiếm Hợp tác Dịch bởi AI - Trang 182-187
N. Sato, M. Uehara, Y. Sakai, H. Mori
Công cụ Tìm kiếm Hợp tác (CSE) là một công cụ tìm kiếm phân tán, có khả năng cập
nhật chỉ mục trong thời gian rất ngắn nhằm mục đích thu thập thông tin mới.
Trong CSE, hiệu suất truy xuất phụ thuộc vào nội dung bộ nhớ đệm vì độ trễ giao
tiếp xảy ra tại thời điểm truy xuất. Tuy nhiên, bộ nhớ đệm sẽ bị vô hiệu hóa
ngay khi chỉ mục được cập nhật. Do đó, chúng ta cần một bộ nhớ đệm vĩnh cửu có

In the future, microprocessors will be embedded in various appliances such as
home appliances, digital AV appliances, and personal appliances. These
appliances will be connected to various types of networks, such as Internet, and
communicate with each other The communication of appliances would integrate some
services provided by these appliances and make new services. The future home
