Context: Quality of Service (QoS) is a major issue in various web service related activities. Quality models have been proposed as the engineering artefact to provide a common framework of understanding for QoS, by defining the quality factors that apply to web service usage. Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the current state of the art of the proposed quality models for web ser...

The first Technical Note in this series [1] introduced the international standard ISO 10303, informally known as STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data). Subsequent Technical Notes discussed various issues faced by users of STEP and how the ISO TC184/SC4 committee is addressing these issues. This paper presents the current move to modularize the STEP application protocol architec...

For example, the escape sequence "ESC 2/4 2/8 4/3" or "ESC $ ( C" indicates that the bytes following the escape sequence are Korean KSC characters, which are encoded in two bytes each. The escape sequence "ESC 2/14 4/1" or "ESC . A" indicates that ISO 8859-1 is designated to G2. After the designation, the single shifted sequence "ESC 4/14 4/1" or "ESC N A" is interpreted to represent a characte...

BACKGROUND Directional sounds simulated using nonindividualized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) often result in front-back confusion. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to examine how manipulating these nonindividualized HRTF spectra can reduce front-back confusion in headphone-simulated directional sounds. METHOD HRTFs of six ear-level directions were studied (angles of 0 degrees, 4...
