Wishful: A Discourse Planning System That Considers a User's Inferences

The explicit consideration of an addressee’s inferences during discourse planning affects the content and coherence of the generated discourse. The content of the discourse is affected because the consideration of an addressee’s inferences may require the addition of information that addresses erroneous inferences or suggest the omission of easily inferred information. The coherence of the disc...

PlaceWalker: An energy-efficient place logging method that considers kinematics of normal human walking

Fine-grained place logging with Wi-Fi beacon signatures provides a useful tool for delivering various semantic location-aware services such as reminders and advertisements. Existing solutions however heavily rely on energy-hungry periodic Wi-Fi scanning for place detection in resource limited mobile devices. In this paper, we present PlaceWalker, a scheme that uses a low-power duty-cycled accel...

Architecture for an Intelligent Tutoring System that Considers Learning Styles

In this paper we propose the architecture of an Intelligent Tutoring System that considers the student's learning style and the competency-based education. We also describe the processes that have been implemented so far. Our architecture presents innovations in the representation of the tutor module and in the knowledge module; the tutor module incorporates a selector agent, which will choose ...

A Human-Probe System That Considers On-body Position of a Mobile Phone with Sensors

In recent years, various sensors are embedded into a so-called smartphone. A human-probe community is paying great attention to a smartpohne as a sensing node because it allows users to participate sensing activity easily. However, on-body localization of a sensor is critical issue if we utilize a smartphone as a sensing platform for human-probe. For instance, acceleration, temperature or humid...
