Dual-income families experience stress as they attempt to manage the conflicting responsibilities of work, school, home, and enrichment activities. Opportunities exist for technology to provide support in managing their children’s activities, helping parents feel more in control of their lives. In this paper, we explore opportunities to support children’s activities. Based on our contextual fie...

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) environments bring significant potential to exploit sophisticated computer technology in everyday life. In particular, the educational domain could be significantly enhanced through AmI, as personalized and adapted learning could be transformed from paper concepts and prototypes to real-life scenarios. In this paper, an integrated framework is presented, named ClassMA...

This study aims to develop lesson plans using mixed reality contents in VR experiencing classroom. For the purpose of this study, we analyzed 10 mixed reality contents, VR experiencing classroom environment, and curriculum in C smart model school in KOREA. Moreover, we derived three teaching-learning models and applied them to experience learning activity design using mixed reality contents. Th...

Over the past decade, we have been building intelligent systems to provide assistance for persons with dementia wishing to age-in-place [1]. These systems are built using partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) controllers. While the POMDPs provide a framework for long-term model learning and reinforcement learning, they must be engineered to fit each situation and user to ensure a...

As a pilot school for the construction of modern system in Chengdu, Zhongliang Xiangyun Branch Longjiang Road Primary School has continuously innovated and reformed management mechanism. After nine years rapid development, completed iterative update from digital campus to data then smart campus. Therefore, comprehensive integration existing reform experience become focus our continuous thinking...

This paper represents te results of the State University of New York at Buffalo (School of Informatics) in the TREC 2005 Conference. We participated in the Genomics ad hoc retrieval task. Our approach used the SMART system for indexing the large collection of MEDLINE documents. For this purpose we used a distributed retrieval approach and divided the large collection into 5 non overlapping sub ...
