KeyMenu is a keyboard based hierarchical menu system originally designed for use on a wearable computer. The menu uses a one to one mapping between buttons on the keyboard and menu items. The KeyMenu leverages off of the advantages of other pointer based menus such as Marking Menus. It provides support for both novice and expert user interaction through the use of a delay in popping up the menu...

This paper presents the integrated Swedish resource network of Språkbanken in general, and its latest addition – a constructicon – in particular. The constructicon, which is still in its early stages, is a collection of (partially) schematic multi-word units, constructions, developed as an addition to the Swedish FrameNet (SweFN). SweFN and the constructicon are integrated with other parts of S...

Regulation of hemodynamic parameters is a challenging problem, due to interand intra-patient variability, drug interactions, evolving patient condition, and in the case of simultaneous control of mean arterial pressure and cardiac output, tight coupling between the two variables. This requires a controller that can adapt to conditions as they evolve, and without the need to tune the controller ...

This paper presents a model of an electric variable valve timing (EVVT) system and its closed-loop control design with experimental validation. The studied EVVT uses a planetary gear system to control the engine cam timing. The main motivation of utilizing the EVVT system is its fast response time and the accurate timing control capability. This is critical for the combustion mode transition co...

The present paper deals with the co-learnability of enumerable families L of uniformly recursive languages from positive data. This refers to the following scenario. A family L of target languages as well as hypothesis space for it are speci ed. The co-learner is fed eventually all positive examples of an unknown target language L chosen from L. The target language L is successfully colearned i...

The DARPA RATS program was established to foster development of language technology systems that can perform well on speaker-to-speaker communications over radio channels that evince a wide range in the type and extent of signal variability and acoustic degradation. Creating suitable corpora to address this need poses an equally wide range of challenges for the collection, annotation and qualit...

We build upon a constrained, lab-based Sign Language recognition system with the goal of making it a mobile assistive technology. We examine using multiple sensors for disambiguation of noisy data to improve recognition accuracy. Our experiment compares the results of training a small gesture vocabulary using noisy vision data, accelerometer data and both data sets combined.

WELCOME to 2018’s first issue of the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS). I’m excited with my new role as incoming Editor-in-Chief of TPDS and look forward to serving the community over the next few years. As a brief introduction, I’m a Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Rutgers University, and have a rich service record to the IEEE and the leading conferenc...

abstract purpose of this paper: this paper presents an analysis toward understanding the business value components that a health care organization can drive by adopting rfid technology into its system. this researcher proposes a framework for evaluating the business value of rfid technology. to do so, emphasis is put on delivering business value through refining business processes and expanding...

Today’s RFID protocols that govern the communication between RFID readers and tags are solely optimized for performance, but fail to address consumer privacy concerns by supporting the fair information practices appropriately. In this paper we propose a feature set that future privacy-aware RFID protocols should include in order to support the fair information principles at the lowest possible ...
