technology advancement improves the way we interact with computer systems. keyboard, mouse, and touchpad provide an easier and more natural way of interaction with a computer system. nowadays, by introducing low cost and high performance depth cameras like kinect and xtion, new opportunities are available for creating even more natural interfaces. in this paper, a new model was demonstrated for...

multiple objective programming (mop) problems have become famous among many researchers due to more practical and realistic implementations. there have been a lot of methods proposed especially during the past four decades. in this paper, we develop a new algorithm based on a new approach to solve mop problems by starting from a utopian point (which is usually infeasible) and moving towards the...

writers ensure the expected (re)construction of concepts in the mind of the audience through effective signposting of the inevitably linear linguistic stream, which is a main aspect of metadiscourse called interactive metadiscourse. in this study, the use of interactive metadiscourse markers in research articles was investigated to examine any probable difference existing between different disc...

Objective.—To examine the current status of interactive health communication (IHC) and propose evidence-based approaches to improve the quality of such applications. Participants.—The Science Panel on Interactive Communication and Health, a 14-member, nonfederal panel with expertise in clinical medicine and nursing, public health, media and instructional design, health systems engineering, deci...

The interaction design for web emergency management information systems (WEMIS) is an important aspect to keep in mind due to the criticality of the domain: decision making, updating available resources, defining a task list, and trusting in proposed information. A common interaction design strategy for WEMIS seems to be needed, but currently there are few references in literature. The aim of t...

In typical proposals for Video-On-Demand (VOD) systems, customers are serviced individually by allocating and dedicating a transmission channel and a set of server resources to each customer. This approach leads to an expensive-to-operate, non-scalable system. We consider a VOD system that uses multicast delivery to service multiple customers with a single set of resources. The use of multicast...

Several computational paradigms exist today for processing large volumes of data on a cluster of resources: batch processing, iterative, interactive, memory-based, data flow oriented, relational, structured, etc. A unified system or framework that supports all paradigms would be greatly beneficial, as it will allow running different algorithms on the same dataset, reduce the system deployment, ...
