Curtin University has developed a multimedia prototype system for use by speech therapists to assist in the rehabilitation of motor speech impaired patients. These are often stroke victims who have to relearn the ability to communicate effectively. The process is usually laborious and instead of the usual card-based prompts used by the therapist, this multimedia solution offers screen and audio...

We have developed a multimedia handheld educational device and optimized the current consumption not only by employing several software optimization techniques but also by using dynamic clock frequency scaling scheme (DFS). Although the ARM7 CPU employed does not support operating voltage scaling, the controlling of the operating frequency helps reducing the current consumption in the idle time...

With the World Wide Web (WWW) becoming the de facto standard for human-computer interaction and human-human communication, there is a need to develop net-centric, multimedia and collaborative applications. We introduce a new scripting language, JACIE, designed to support rapid prototyping and implementation of such applications. The necessity to support the management of multimedia interaction ...

The development of multimedia computer simulations in clinical pharmacy education enables students to be exposed to clinical patient management earlier in the education process and allows for the training of large numbers of students outside of conventional clinical practice sites. This manuscript describes what multimedia is and how this technology can be applied to clinical pharmacy training....

In this paper we present work in progress on extending multimedia conferencing standards to scalable, mobile multimedia group support based on SIP initiated Source Specific IP Multicast. We propose extensions of SIP for negotiating SSM sessions. SIP protocol specifications and semantics are compatibly extended without adding new SIPmethods. We will introduce a multimedia communication software ...
