A Multi-User Iconic System for Supporting Groupwork
نویسندگان
چکیده
The demand for multi-user systems for supporting groupwork has increased. In this paper, we present a multi-user system that provides an iconic multi-user interface for supporting groupwork. In this system, various kinds of information used in groupwork are represented as icons. As multiple users share the icons, facilities for coordinating icon operation are necessary. The multi-user interface displays which icons are being used by whom. Therefore, users can coordinate the icon operation visually. Facilities for automating the sequence of icon operation are also presented. With groupwork, it often happens that a user prede ̄ned by a procedure to operate a certain icon cannot operate it { say, for example, that the user takes the day o®. To resolve this kind of exception, the system permits a di®erent user to operate the icon instead of the prede ̄ned user. As a result, users can coordinate icon operation interactively.

Agent Street: An Environment for Exploring Agent-Based Models in Second Life
Urban models can be seen on a continuum between iconic and symbolic. Generally speaking, iconic models are physical versions of the real world at some scaled down representation, while symbolic models represent the system in terms of the way they function replacing the physical or material system by some logical and/or mathematical formulae. Traditionally iconic and symbolic models were distinc...

متن کاملScalable Support for Work Groups and Groupwork
Information access and information sharing are two important features in supporting work groups and groupwork. There are a large number of systems proving these functions. However, existing systems often support only few types of terminal devices when users now have a variety of them: WAP phones and terminals, PDA devices, and desktop and portable computers. This paper presents a portal system ...

Channel estimation is an essential task to fully exploit the advantages of the massive MIMO systems. In this paper, we propose a semi-blind downlink channel estimation method for massive MIMO system. We suggest a new modeling for the channel matrix subspace. Based on the low-rankness property, we have prposed an algorithm to estimate the channel matrix subspace. In the next step, using o...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
