CALL can be a route to learner autonomy, allowing students to use PC-based software to learn individually, without need of class or teacher. However, language is above all a medium for communication, implying a dialogue of two or more participants: although CALL can provide exercises and lessons in grammar, vocabulary, writing skills etc, it might seem that conversation practice still calls for...

Semantic Link Network (SLN) is a semantic Web model using semantic links—the natural extension of the hyperlink-based Web. The SLN-Builder is a software tool that enables definition, modification and verification of, as well as access to the SLN. The SLN-Builder can convert a SLN definition into XML descriptions for cross-platform information exchange. The Intelligent Semantic Browser is used t...

With the increasing availability of software usage and influence Lean Startup mindset, more companies choose to innovate through internal startups. Such startups aim at developing new business models while same time relying on resources from where they emerged. The evidence both researchers practitioners indicates that driving is challenging. This paper seeks address this problem by asking rese...

UNL Center provides UNL developers with a set of tools to develop a specific language module called UNL Development Set. This set contains the DeConverter and EnConverter software, Word Dictionary Builder, Co-occurrence Relation Dictionary Builder, etc. Each tool needs some inputs and gives a certain output, which are needed to be integrated and maintained continuously during the development ph...

Chaotic communication has the good secrecy. It is an important branch of the modern secure communication. Differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) communication system adopts shift keying to separate the reference signal and data signal. It has a strong resistance to the multipath channel. For FPGA systems design shortcomings using a hardware description language directly, the DCSK communication ...

Core Overview The data generation and monitoring solution for Avalon® Streaming (Avalon-ST) interfaces consists of two components: a data pattern generator core that generates data patterns and sends it out on an Avalon-ST interface, and a data pattern checker core that receives the same data and checks it for correctness. Both cores are SOPC Builder-ready and integrate easily into any SOPC Bui...

SimSE is an educational software engineering simulation game that uses a unique software process modeling approach. This approach combines both predictive and prescriptive aspects to support the creation of dynamic, interactive, graphical models for software engineering process education. This paper describes the different constructs in a SimSE process model, the associated model builder tool, ...

This paper describes a step-by-step method for reaching agreement between the client and the software builder concerning how a system should interact with its user. The method springs from the view of McMenamin and Palmer that all physical systems have both essential behaviour (what is to be done) and physical behaviour (how it is to be done) and that it is useful to define the essential behavi...
