Multi-platform CBI tools using Linux and Java-based solutions for distance learning

چکیده
This paper presents a set of software tools developed to enhance local and distance learning for speech and signal processing classes. The multi-platform paradigm is stressed in both computer-based instruction (CBI) and World Wide Web (WWW). Java-based tools. The CBI speech tools are a package developed to enhance a graduate course in digital speech processing; the tools may be run on various platforms and will benefit local or distance learners taking the course via teleconferencing. Students may gain “hands-on” experience using this package on their own personal computer (PC) or a university computer. The WWW, Java-based tools have been designed to be used for interactive homework in signal processing classes but also have a wide range of applicability. JavaGram is the name for the currently developed application that allows students to easily “turn-in” homework diagrams, such as signal-flow charts, via the WWW. This is an improvement over past systems that use only forms in WWW homework for remote classes. These tools have been found to greatly enhance local and remote offerings of a course on speech signal processing.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملEMCSO: An Elitist Multi-Objective Cat Swarm Optimization
This paper introduces a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on cat swarm optimizationalgorithm (EMCSO) and its application to solve a multi-objective knapsack problem. The multi-objective optimizers try to find the closest solutions to true Pareto front (POF) where it will be achieved by finding the less-crowded non-dominated solutions. The proposed method applies cat swarm optim...
متن کاملDeveloping Distributed Intelligent Learning Environment with JADE - Java Agents for Distance Education Framework
Over the last years, many organizations started to use Distance Teaching tools as instruments in employees’ qualification programs, creating what we may call E-learning or Virtual Training in Human Resources Development Programs. However, usually these organizations tend to use technological resources already available, and do not shape their technological platform into a pedagogical project. R...
متن کاملGoing Open Source Software in IT - Opportunities and Challenges
While initially limited to the Linux operating system and associated tools, open source solutions now include enterprise frameworks such as J2EE, as well as complete applications. IT adoption is driven by the enthusiasm of developers and increasingly by vendors seeking to challenge the closed source dominance of MS in particular and also, to some extent, IBM and Sun. The mainstream support of I...

This project report describes the implementation and performance evaluation of an interface, called WinJTAP, which allows Java applications to use Ethernet frames captured by a virtual network interface, called TAP, on the Microsoft Windows32 (Win32) Operating System. Since Win32 and TAP are written explicitly in the C/C++ programming language, we require an additional environment, which enable...
