TL;DR: The application, called mobile adaptive CALL (MAC), is aimed at helping Japanese-English speakers in perceptually distinguishing the non-native /r/ vs. /l/ English phonemic contrast with a view to improving their discrimination.
Abstract: In this paper, we present a case-study on developing an adaptive computer assisted language learning software built for mobile devices. Our application, called mobile adaptive CALL (MAC) is aimed at helping Japanese-English speakers in perceptually distinguishing the non-native /r/ vs. /l/ English phonemic contrast with a view to improving their discrimination. The software is adaptive and more practice is given for the learner on contrasts that are most difficult for them, and learners may choose their preferred level of difficulty. MAC is implemented in Java (J2ME), allowing the software to be used on a wide range of mobile devices including most recent mobile phones. In our case-study, we give an overview of the software, results from initial user studies and suggest some considerations for designing and implementing mobile learning applications for speech/audio language training.

TL;DR: A new mobile agent framework, f-Desktop, is presented, which is designed for describing follow-me applications in a ubiquitous computing environment and provides the migration mechanisms for agent software which are secure against illegal call-up transaction requests from computers which masquerade as the owner of the agent software.
Abstract: The paper presents a new mobile agent framework, f-Desktop, which is designed for describing follow-me applications in a ubiquitous computing environment. It provides the migration mechanisms for agent software which are secure against illegal call-up transaction requests from computers which masquerade as the owner of the agent software. Moreover, a follow-me application built with the f-Desktop framework possesses a high adaptability to computing environment and a high connection continuity against changes of location. In the f-Deskrop framework, a user can define his desktop computing environment, desktop or desktop environment in short, as a set of follow-me applications. Then, the user can take the desktop computing environment along to other computers.

TL;DR: The performance modelling approach described in this paper is based on a layered framework of the PACE methodology and can provide a capability for rapid calculation of relevant performance information without sacrificing accuracy of predictions.
Abstract: There is a wide range of performance models being developed for the performance evaluation of parallel and distributed systems. A performance modelling approach described in this paper is based on a layered framework of the PACE methodology. With an initial implementation system, the model described by a performance specification language, CHIP/sup 3/S, can provide a capability for rapid calculation of relevant performance information without sacrificing accuracy of predictions. An example of the performance evaluation of an ASCI kernel application, Sweep3D, is used to illustrate the approach. The validation results on different parallel and distributed architectures with different problem sizes show a reasonable accuracy (approximately 12% error at most) can be obtained, allows cross-platform comparisons to be easily undertaken, and has a rapid evaluation time (typically less than 2s).

TL;DR: In this paper, a motor vehicle has a control device that is designed to change over an operating state of an extravehicular computer system for office applications between an active state, in which the computer system executes at least one piece of office application software, and a passive state, where the system is deactivated.

TL;DR: A modular and general architecture that supports the development of interactive, multimedia, location-based applications, providing an extra level of service to the users is described.
Abstract: The widespread use of cellular telephones and the availability of user-location information are facilitating the development of new personalized, location-based applications. However, as of today, most of these applications are unidirectional and text-based where the user subscribes and the system sends a text message when appropriate. This article describes a modular and general architecture that supports the development of interactive, multimedia, location-based applications, providing an extra level of service to the users. The flexibility of the architecture is demonstrated by presenting the wireless safety security system (Wi-Via) and other potential applications
