The purposes of this study are to develop and evaluate the instructional model and learning system which integrate ubiquitous learning, computerized adaptive diagnostic testing system and campus math path learning. The researcher first creates a ubiquitous learning environment which is called “adaptive U-learning math path system”. This system enables students to learn math during their daily c...

When attacking a distributed protocol, an adaptive adversary is able to determine its actions (e.g., which parties to corrupt) at any time based on its entire view of the protocol including the entire communication history. Proving security of cryptographic protocols against adaptive adversaries is a fundamental problem in cryptography. In this paper, we consider distributed public-key systems ...

The problem of allocating processor resources fairly and efficiently to parallel jobs has been studied extensively in the past. Most of this work, however, assumes that the instantaneous parallelism of the jobs is known and used by the job scheduler to make its decisions. In this project, we consider different ways of estimating the parallelism of jobs during runtime, as well as different ways ...

The current review introduces a new program of research that suggests the perception of spatial layout is influenced by emotions. Though perceptual systems are often described as closed and insulated, this review presents research suggesting that a variety of induced emotions (e.g., fear, disgust, sadness) can produce changes in vision and audition. Thus, the perceptual system may be highly int...
