The analysis of recorded audio sources has become increasingly important in ethnomusicological research. Such audio material may contain important cues on performance practice, information that is often lost in manually generated symbolic music transcriptions. As an application scenario, we consider in this paper a musically relevant audio collection that consists of three-voice polyphonic Geor...

Computer-based presentation systems enable the realization of effective and dynamic presentation styles that incorporate multiple media. Obvious examples are animated user interface agents which verbally comment on multimedia objects displayed on the screen while performing cross-media and cross-window pointing gestures. The design of such presentations must account for the temporal coordinatio...

In this paper, we present XOpin, a graphical user interface that have been developed to provide a smart access to the results of a feature-based opinion detection system, build on top of a parser.

This paper discusses ongoing work to build an argumentation inquiry learning system, GAIL. The purpose of GAIL is to support students in constructing scientific arguments in an undergraduate genetics course in order to facilitate deeper learning and improve argumentation skill. Students can construct argument diagrams using a dragand-drop graphical user interface. The system constructs argument...

In this paper, we present a new graphical interface for traditional library environments, which allows the user to elaborate easily and efficiently new strategies in search processes. This tool is based on two linked interactive Euler diagram representations. The first one is an interactive representation of the structures composing the documentary kernel of the library. The user may navigate a...

Multi-user applications allows users in different locations to simultaneously interact with a common interface. Creating multi-user applications is complicated by issues such as process synchronization, replicated window management, and floor control. As a result, several papers describing toolkits that simplify programming of multi-user applications have appeared in the literature. This paper ...

This paper describes a novel approach to monitor a baby and it’s emotion and needs. Feature extraction methods like Magnitude Sum function, Pitch and Energy have been performed to classify the signal. These extraction techniques are proven to be more accurate than the conventional techniques. Although combinations of all three techniques have to be used to achieve 100% accuracy, the computation...

Traditional radioxenon measurements have been done by ground-based fixed systems, however in recent years there has been an increased need for systems capable of quick deployment or even complete mobility. Using the Pixie-4 data acquisition (DAQ) system can help reduce the electronics footprint of both current systems, like the radioxenon Radionuclide Laboratory 16 (RL-16) and the Swedish Autom...
