Real-time control of industrial processes has become an important issue in the recent years. Advances in hardware and software technologies allow the use of single-processor computers to perform real–time tasks. The paper first explains the basic elements of PC–based real–time control systems. Then, it describes the general operation of WinMechLab, a real–time single–processor platform for the ...

Introduction The purpose of this article is to describe and illustrate, by presenting a sample case, the concept of clinical reasoning examinations used in the baccalaureate nursing program at the University of Loui-siana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette). Clinical reasoning exams have been developed by faculty for use in all four major upper division nursing courses in the curriculum. In each of the...

Current adaptive web-based educational systems rely on a subject domain ontology, specifying the domain concepts and the relations among them. In contrast, task analysis for instructional design is based on learning outcomes, including their taxonomic classification, information processing analysis, and prerequisite analysis. It is described how subject domain knowledge and task analysis result...

Modern technologies allow to create a networked control system with off-the-shelf mobile devices. As such, there is the possibility of having the role of who offers and who uses a “remote” laboratory played by the same people. Extending recently published ideas, the paper presents a first nucleus of functionalities allowing one to create process simulators and controllers which run on a mobile ...

Multi-touch devices and gesture tracking have recently been established as tools for collaborative interactive spaces. Innovative application concepts and applicable scenarios in which gesture-based interaction has advantages instead of traditional WIMP User Interfaces are necessary. In this article, the results of a series of workshops conducted during the last three years are presented. These...
