The goal of this paper is to begin a conversation about two key issues regarding emotion in HCI. First, working definitions of emotion must be included in communications. These definitions provide a framework for asking questions, designing methodologies, and interpreting results. Second, gold standards for assessing the quality of human computer interactions should be established. Conceptualiz...

Neighbor Discovery (ND) is an important pre-requisite for a typical Wireless Ad-hoc Network for achieving self-organization and multi-hop communications which subsequently affect routing, MAC and topology control protocols. Reliability, Resource Efficiency and Responsiveness could be termed as important performance parameters for a typical Neighbor Discovery protocols. This paper attempts to re...

This tutorial will review the perspectives of object and database engineers in software and database systems development. It will explore the nature of the "entricity" battles that often occur, and it will provide guidelines to those managing or working with these engineers on how to effectively negotiate this challenge to produce good software and information systems. Discussion will center on...

Xiangrong Wang received both the Bachelor and Master degrees in electrical engineering from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China, in 2009 and 2011, respectively. She is working toward the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. She is currently a visiting research student in the Center for Advanced Communications, Villanova Univ...

Enterprise Papers are a mix of policy papers, sector-specific studies, and a combination of both. Written by the staff of the Enterprise Directorate-General, or by experts working in association with them, they aim to raise awareness of enterprise policy issues and stimulate debate. These papers do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the European Commission. Occasional 'special e...

VOLUME 10, NUMBER 1, 1997 THE LINCOLN LABORATORY JOURNAL 35 T    operates worldwide in a variety of international environments that require language translation. Translators who can interpret military terminology are a scarce commodity in countries such as the Republic of Korea (R.O.K.), and U.S. military leaders there support the development of bilingual machine translati...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become a popular modulation method in high speed wireless communications. OFDM is a suitable candidate for high data rate transmission with forward error correction (FEC) methods over wireless channels. In this paper, the system throughput under a desired bit error rate (BER) of a working OFDM system has been enhanced by adding turbo coding....

Historically, the task for low voltage users has been relatively straightforward; choose one supplier from many in the market, based on a number of criteria including price, reliability, functionality, and communications. However, for a drive control solution for larger industrial loads, the situation is not so clear-cut. Until quite recently, most engineers faced with a highpower application w...

As an academic librarian firmly ensconced in the niche of library publishing (with its preference for open access), I (and perhaps you) have read a number edited volumes centering on intersection libraries and scholarly communications that examine OA from practical theoretical angles. While not specifically centered libraries, this volume comes as welcome update to earlier treatments: broader s...
