Dialog management is of particular importance in telephone-based services. In this paper we describe our recent activities in dialog management and natural language generation in the LIMSI RAILTEL system for access to rail travel information. The aim of LEMLAP project RAILTEL was to assess the capabilities of spoken language technology for interactive telephone information services. Because all...

The article examines the impact of ICT on Cambodia’s services export performance. In econometric estimations, is proxied by fixed telephone subscriptions, mobile cellular broadband and internet users, introduced in augmented gravity model with a panel data set available from 1995 to 2012. Estimations are carried out using fixed-effects method. It found that variables positively associated total...

The wireless telephone industry has seen dramatic changes. In the United States, for example, cellular demand continues to increase with high annual growth rates. In order to help meet this demand and to promote competition in the duopolistic wireless telephone industry, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) supplemented the existing cellular industry capacity by auctioning spectrum for p...

BACKGROUND To investigate and to compare the effectiveness of a nurse short message service (SMS) by cellular phone and telephone follow-up by nurse on Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Semi experimental study consisted of 77 patients with type 2 diabetes that randomly assigned to two groups: telephone follow-up (n = 39) and short message service (...

The aim of this study was to investigate a possible link between cellular telephone use and risks for various diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). We conducted a large nationwide cohort study of 420 095 persons whose first cellular telephone subscription was between 1982 and 1995, who were followed through 2003 for hospital contacts for a diagnosis of a CNS disorder.

Telemonitoring of Parkinson's Disease (PD) has attracted considerable research interest because its potential to make a lasting, positive impact on the life patients and their carers. Purpose-built devices have been developed that record various signals which can be associated with average PD symptom severity, as quantified standard clinical metrics such Unified Rating Scale (UPDRS). Speech are...

Any system which contains some form of cryptographic authentication, con dentiality and/or identi cation requires the provisioning of a secure key generation and distribution capability. The key distribution mechanism for wireless cellular systems, such as IS-95 CDMA, IS-136 TDMA and IS-91 Analog, has recently been investigated by the Telephone Industry Association's standards working groups. T...
