The relative gain array (RGA) and condition number are commonly used tools in controllability analysis. In this paper we present new results that link these measures to control performance, measured in terms of the output sensitivity function with input and output uncertainty.

This is the fourth year for the minitrack on Multimedia Information Systems at the Annual Hawaii International Conference o presence of this minitrack r recent proliferation of multimedia applications. This proliferation has been driven by technological advances resulting in dramatic decreases in price/perfonnance ratios in processing and storage technologies, video and audio input/output devic...

This study aimed at investigating the relative impact of comprehensible input and comprehensible output on the development of grammatical accuracy and syntactic complexity of Iranian EFL learners’ oral production. Participants were 60 female EFL learners selected from a whole population pool of 80 based on the standard test of IELTS. To investigate the research questions, the participants were ...

in the present study, an application of multilevel modeling approach to the input- output analysis are presented first, the regional input-output table of all provinces in iran was extracted based on the adjusted flegg location quotient method (aflq). second differentiation in the leontief technical coefficients and the backward and forward linkages among various activities and sectors of all p...

Young children often build various structures with wooden blocks; structures that are often used for pretend play, subtly improving children’s creativity and imagination. Based on a traditional Japanese wooden block toy, Tsumiki, we propose a novel interactive toy for children, named “TSU.MI.KI”, maintaining the physical assets of wooden blocks and enhancing them with automation. “TSU.MI.KI” co...

The emergence of several trends, including the increased availability of wireless networks, miniaturization of electronics and sensing technologies, and novel input and output devices, is creating a demand for integrated, fulltime displays for use across a wide range of applications, including collaborative environments. In this paper, we present and discuss emerging visualization methods we ar...

Recent technology advances have made computer-based multimedia cooperation among distributed users feasible. Joint-Viewing (JV) is one such proposed cooperation concept. Correct interaction in it requires synchronization on various levels. In this paper we focus on synchronization aspects on the data stream level. We present several JV scenarios and state for each of these requirements concerni...

Production systems, traditionally analyzed as almost independent national systems, are increasingly connected on a global scale. Only recently becoming available, the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) is one of the first efforts to construct the global multi-regional input-output (GMRIO) tables. By viewing the world input-output system as an interdependent network where the nodes are the indiv...

We show how to add Input/Output capabilities to the ELAN rewriting interpreter using a rewrite speciication of-calculus. This I/O system has the advantage of being totally explicit and t in the same semantic framework than any other \application program". An actual implementation shows the eeectiveness of this approach.
