This paper presents a speech operated smart-home control system with a focus on users with special needs – elderly people, people suffering from blindness or low vision and people with mobility impairments. The proposed system simplifies the use of various home appliances by providing a unified speech-controlled interface and thus improves the quality of their everyday life. The paper presents ...

Objectives and Scope Growth curve analysis (multilevel regression) offers a statistical framework for analyzing longitudinal or time course data and for quantifying differences between individuals in the context of a model of the overall group effects. These methods have been known to statisticians for many years (e.g., Wishart, 1938), but they have only recently become a prominent statistical ...

Military/civilian education training and experimentation networks (ETEN) are an important application area for the cloud computing concept. However, major security challenges have to be overcome to realize an ETEN. These challenges can be categorized as security challenges typical to any cloud and multi-level security challenges specific to an ETEN environment. The cloud approach for ETEN is in...

Security is a major cost driver in military systems and is of particular concern when using commercial network protocols in the military environment. MLS systems may be employed to reduce the amount of application software that must be secured and certified at the highest level, avoiding the expense and complexity associated with maintaining the entire system at the highest level of security. T...

As the UML attempts to make the transition from a single, albeit extensible, language to a framework for a family of languages, the nature and form of the underlying meta-modeling architecture will assume growing importance. It is generally recognized that without a simple, clean and intuitive theory of how metamodel levels are created and related to one another, the UML 2.0 vision of a coheren...
