Interactive surfaces form an integral component of intelligent environments. In the paper, we describe HapticArmrest, a simple tactile interface that communicates tactual surface characteristic and form of interactive elements on direct touch surfaces. Spatially separating manual touch input and active tactile output allows for the combination of various types of tactile actuators for versatile...

The goal of our present work is to derive useful practices for incorporating intelligent learning environments (ILEs) into classrooms. In order to do this, we aim to: • Create methods by which the design of ILEs encourages interactions between the teacher and computer. • Appropriately divide responsibilities between the computer and the teacher (mixed-initiative dialogues). • Provide the right ...

The integration of the Internet in media has contributed to emergence several new types journalism, such as Robot Journalism, Drone Data Science etc. Formation news materials, their attractiveness audience and diversity fast dissemination ways these materials society depend, first all, on development advanced information technologies. expansion journalism based technologies along with tradition...

Abstract The article is devoted to the complete design of an intelligent barrier that uses piezoelectric ceramic transducers as transmitter acoustic signal and a receiver. There relatively rich device base on market for these transducers. These are also not economically demanding. composed three identical bars. A continues wave rectangular generation used excitation converters transmitting side...

1 Abstract Intelligent systems are nature-inspired, mathematically sound, computationally intensive problem solving tools and methodologies that have become extremely important for advancing the current trends in information technology. Artificially intelligent systems currently utilize computers to emulate various faculties of human intelligence and biological metaphors. They use a combination...

The 21st century is an age of information with constant development of computer network, which has brought much convenience for people’s life; while logistics is an indispensable part of modern people’s life. Since people are having higher and higher demand for quality of life, the traditional logistics management system hasn’t been able to adapt the market. Internet, as a necessary product of ...
