The paper presents a data-driven model of self-adaptivity for multiparty sessions. System choreography is prescribed by a global type. Participants are incarnated by processes associated with monitors, which control their behaviour. Each participant can access and modify a set of global data, which are able to trigger adaptations in the presence of critical changes of values. The use of the par...

Computer techniques allow for the design of temporally presented text on computer displays.

These are compared in the context of several designs which use a variety of graphic techniques to indicate speaker and stress in the text. The resul...

We propose a system that enables users to write memos directly on a computer screen by hand.

We describe some of the important functions of the system and the effective retrieval keys for searching for saved images. We explain that the implementation of our prototype system consists ...
