چکیده
The MANIC project in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts is aimed towards facilitating individualized asynchronous distance learning. We take advantage of current technology, such as the World Wide Web and high-speed networks, to present a rich combination of text, graphics, and sound. We use student modeling to aid in the presentation of the material, including individualizing the instruction for each student and reducing the delays by predicting what the student will see next. In this paper, we present the initial work on the MANIC system and discuss the future possibilities and research.

WEBSLIDE: A “Virtual” Slide Projector Based on World Wide Web1
We present here the design key concepts of WEBSLIDE, a software project whose objective is to provide a simple, cheap and efficient solution for showing slides during lessons in computer labs. In fact, WEBSLIDE allows the video monitors of several client machines (the “STUDENTS”) to be synchronously updated by the actions of a particular client machine, called the “INSTRUCTOR.” The system is ba...
متن کاملGeoWeb: a Multiframe Web Interface to ObjectStore-based Spatial Data Repositories
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a wellestablished flexible solution for extending an HTTP server functionality. Unfortunately, it has intrinsic problems with throughput and effective resource use. These shortcomings become particularly appreciable for the CGI scripts with advanced functionality. Thus, using CGI scripts to work with databases causes a significant time and resource overhead...
متن کاملDistributed WWW Programming using (Ciao-)Prolog and the PiLLoW library
We discuss from a practical point of view a number of issues involved in writing distributed Internet and WWW applications using LP/CLP systems. We describe PiLLoW, a publicdomain Internet and WWW programming library for LP/CLP systems that we have designed in order to simplify the process of writing such applications. PiLLoW provides facilities for accessing documents and code on the WWW; pars...
متن کاملCorresponding Author: T. Andrew Yang Performance Comparison of Database Access over the Internet- Java Servlets vs CGI
Our recent work on database access using Java servlets (see Yang and Kim 1999) focused on the performance metering of sequential versus concurrent connection schemes between the web server and the database server. In this paper, we plan to extend the work by comparing the performance of database access between servlets and CGI scripts in the Internet environment. To guarantee a fair comparison,...
متن کاملDistributed objects in a commercial Web environment
The Web is a fast-moving target. Two years ago, HTML forms invoking server-side common-gateway interface (CGI) scripts were state-of-the-art for providing interactive services on the Web. As recently observed in Byte magazine, this technology has reached its limits [1]. The shortcomings of CGI are well known: • Inefficiency of execution • Sharing of state between invocations is difficult • No p...
