Rapid prototype models are directly integrated into nonengineering applications such as medicine. Medical models are used to plan complex procedures prior to surgery with potential to optimise patient treatment in the operating theatre. This paper presents results following a 12 month National Health Service Executive research project to assess the feasibility of using rapid prototype medical m...

Over the last few years the idea of using video games for serious purposes such as education, training or health has gained widespread popularity. These games are, in contrast to their commercial counterparts, often meant to be played by single players. However, it has been shown that playing in groups trains social skills, supports collaborative learning and increases motivation. Multiplayer g...

The aim of the work described in this paper is to extend the EPFL dialogue platform with multimodal capabilities. Based on our experience with the EPFL Rapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology (RDPM), we formulate precise design principles that provide the necessary frame to use the RDPM to rapidly create an efficient multimodal interface for a given application. We analyze the consequences of th...

We present an overview of the development environment for Regulus, an Open Source platform for construction of grammar-based speech-enabled systems, focussing on recent work whose goal has been to introduce uniformity between text and speech views of Regulus-based applications. We argue the advantages of being able to switch quickly between text and speech modalities in interactive and offline ...

We present a prototype interlingual communication system that is being used to collect a corpus of task based dialogues between speakers of different languages. This corpus will be used to assess human reactions to an automated speech-to-speech translation system. In this demonstration we show how the HCRC Map Task can be adapted to support data collection in this interlingual environment, and ...

Recursive schemes over inductive data structures have been recognized as categorytheoretic universals, yielding a handful of equational laws for program construction and transformation. This paper introduces the implementation of such recursion patterns as type parametric, or polytypic, functionals in the Camila prototyping language. Several examples are discussed.

According to a recent trend, two different labs the Machine Design lab, and Kinematics, and Dynamics lab are combined into one integrated lab. The time students spend on their projects is halved. To save the quality of undergraduate education, an ew methodology has to be developed. The paper explains the methodology developed by the author while teaching the integrated Kinematics, Dynamics, and...

We present a simple method for producing molds for casting PDMSmicrofluidic chips using photo-lithography with 35 mm photographic negatives as masks. We demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of the approach. We have optimized...
