background; noise mapping in industry can be useful to assess the risks of harmful noise, or to monitor noise in machine rooms. using gis -based software for plot of noise maps in an indoor noisy work environment can be helpful for occupational hygienists to monitor noise pollution. methods; this study was carried out in noisy packaging unit of a food industry in ghazvin industrial zone, to eva...

The ASF+SDF Meta-Environment is an interactive development environment for the automatic generation of interactive systems for constructing language definitions and generating tools for them. Over the years, this system has been used in a variety of academic and commercial projects ranging from formal program manipulation to conversion of COBOL systems. Since the existing implementation of the ...

Our work in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) relies on content-analysis of multiple representations of an image which we term multiple viewpoints or channels. The conceptual idea is to place each image in multiple feature spaces and then perform retrieval by querying each of these spaces and merging the several responses. We have shown that a simple realization of this strategy can be used ...

We seek to support creativity in science, engineering, and design applications by building infrastructure that offers new capabilities for creative collaborative exploration of complex data in a variety of non-traditional computing environments. We describe particular novel environments and devices, including the Allosphere and the interactive Fogscreen, the software components to support colla...

The Construct development environment is targeted at the construction of different types of hypermedia services. The primary goal of the environment is to ease the construction of component-based open hypermedia systems by providing development tools that assist system developers in the generation of the set of service components that make up a hypermedia system. This paper explains how the Con...

Programmable simulation environments allow one to monitor and control calculations efficiently and automatically before, during, and after runtime. Environments directly accessible in a programming environment can be interfaced with powerful external analysis tools and extensions to enhance the functionality of the core program, and by incorporating a flexible object based structure, the enviro...

One of the most important issues in an ambient intelligent environment, indeed in any problem-solving situation, is the ability of a system to appreciate its environment and assess the situation in which problems are to be solved. Recently, case-based reasoning has gained some momentum in the area of context awareness for ambient intelligent systems. When applying case-based reasoning in this t...

Under the customization production environment, it is necessary for enterprises to offer more varieties of products to cope with the demands of different customers. However, the variation in the customized product specification often leads to problems in the enterprise such as an improper design or an uncoordinated manufacturing procedure that causes a much higher or loss. Therefore, enterprise...

If teachers use few ILEs (Interactive Learning Environments) with their students, it may be because they don’t have the opportunity to act upon the available environments. To permit the adoption of ILEs by teachers, these systems must be adaptable to the learning context and to the teacher’s pedagogical approach. To achieve this we propose a module dedicated to the teacher in the context of the...
