The purpose of this poster is to provide insight into the processes involved in making a unique fashion research and teaching collection discoverable in an online environment at Ryerson University. The online collection will provide a means for the users to identify what artifacts are available for research purposes and facilitate teaching in the classroom. The poster will highlight effective m...

Data collection, or uploading, is an inherent part of numerous digital government applications. In this poster we present our recent research directions in the development of Bistro, a scalable and secure architecture designed for collection of data over the Internet for digital government applications.

POSTER PRESENTATIONs Discussion: The odds ratio linking collection one status vs. collection two status of 2.6 suggests that herds positive for collection one were more than two times more likely to be positive on the subsequent shipment. However, this association was demonstrated when examining other pairs of results. The limited correlations between prevalence of samples one and two suggests ...

Sensor data collection can be facilitated by radio nodes in unmanned aircraft. They can provide communication to large geographic areas and have high mobility. However, long distances and aircraft mobility may cause episodic connectivity or require data to be physically carried. Such challenged communication necessitates a delay-tolerant approach to networking. We designed and implemented a del...

We characterize the interplay between collection and lowpower operation by studying the joint impact of the offered load and the Low Power Listening sleep time setting on the duty-cycle distribution in a large-scale sensor network testbed. Collection services must be able to work on top of a low-power MAC. The Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) [1] has been shown to perform very well on top of Box-...

Data Collection Poster Instruction Measurement & Framework The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that training methods have on biometric usability and performance results. Previous research has shown that biometric devices have usability, ergonomic, and design issues which have an impact on the performance of the entire biometric system. This research is looking specifically at the...

This is a summary of the presentations made in the poster session and the two open space sessions at the TMRA 2006 conference. The poster session consists of peer-reviewed conference submissions accepted as posters, while the open space sessions were free-form sessions where anyone could sign up to do a short presentation. The result is a collection of reports on works in progress and interesti...

The poster discusses the characteristics needed in an information retrieval (IR) test collection to facilitate the evaluation of integrated search, i.e. search across a range of different sources but with one search box and one ranked result list, and describes and analyses a new test collection constructed for this purpose. The test collection consists of approx. 18,000 monographic records, 16...

We are investigating how resource developers can best represent digital collections and items to meet the requirements of divergent service providers and user communities. Our first goal is to establish a baseline that describes the institutions, collections, and initial metadata schemes of Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant (NLG) digital collection projec...
