Editorial Volume 6, Issue 1

The editor’s notes in our Journal have been so far a site for the clarification of the Journal’s policy and the task still continues. With an inclination towards solving our real world problems in language teaching (and literary studies, which I will discuss in the next issue of the Journal), we would like to take that the introduction of the concept of “life-world” to Social Sciences can be a ...

Chapter 6 Analysis Techniques

Network control by Bayesian broadcast

A transmission control strategy is described for slottedALOHA-type broadcast channels with ternary feedback. At each time slot, each station estimates the probability that n stations are ready to transmit a packet for each n, using Bayes’ rule and the observed history of collisions, successful transmissions, and holes (empty slots). A station transmits a packet in a probabilistic manner based o...

Tracking Pitches for Broadcast Television

I n baseball, a pitcher’s fame and fortune depend on his mastery of the strike zone. Pitches that pass outside the strike zone count as balls and can be safely ignored. Those that pass through it untouched, however, count as strikes, three of which will retire the batter to his team’s dugout. Players, fans, and sports journalists thus have an intense interest in compiling statistics about these...

Broadcast Games and Digital Television

Digital television (DTV) allows simultaneous transmission of data along with traditional AV content. It provides an inexpensive and high bandwidth data pipe that enables new forms of interactive television and also new types of games, and other applications, for game consoles. This paper explores the potential role of DTV in future game titles and addresses how to merge television viewing with ...
