State of the art on Interaction and Collaboration Analysis
The document focuses on students-machine or students-students' interactions analysis that could support students & teachers, when students work in stand-alone mode or in collaborative technology based learning environments. The document concerns the State of the art on the interaction analysis dimensions and approaches that are already applied. The appropriateness of these approaches is related to the learning environments features, the user's profile, the learning activities, and the context of
Working in ToonTalk with 4- and 5-year olds
We aim to find ways, tools and/or techniques that allow children in this age span to use programming language concepts to express rules and play with them. ToonTalk, with its visual, animated environment, and program-by-example methodology, seemed a very nice tool to start with. On this paper, we will present our experience using Portuguese ToonTalk with 7 children (5 were 4-year olds, 2 were 5- year olds), in Vila Real (Portugal) kindergartens, from May to June of 2000. The most encouraging res
Getting Started Guide to Wireless Networks
This guide is for IT managers responsible for running a network of computers and who are thinking about introducing a wireless network into the organisation. The document aims to look at the way wireless technology functions and it discussesa range of technical, physical and security considerations for deploying a wireless system.,University of Birmingham, and Microsoft.

Using Ontological Engineering to Overcome Common AI-ED Problems
This paper discusses long-term prospects of AI-ED research with the aim of giving a clear view of what we need for further promotion of the research from both the AI and ED points of view. An analysis of the current status of AI-ED research is done in the light of intelligence, conceptualization, standardization and theory-awareness. Following this, an ontology-based architecture with appropriate ontologies is proposed. Ontological engineering of IS/ID is next discussed followed by a road map to
Videos zur Titration und Gravimetrie (Titration and Gravimetry Videos)
This website provides a set of short videos which demonstrate to quantitative analysis students the basic steps and visual changes encountered for the following experiments: Mohr titration (for chloride), acid-base titrations, and gravimetry for iron and nickel. A cursory knowledge of German is needed. However, individuals with some knowledge in these techniques can interpret these videos with little trouble. Real Player (or other software that can play .ram files) is required.
Les services de référence en milieu universitaire : de nouvelles orientations!
Communication présentée dans le cadre du programme de formation continue de la Corporation des bibliothécaires professionnels du Québec, vendredi le 11 mars 2005.,L'arrivée des ressources électroniques, l'enseignement à distance et les habitudes de recherche de la génération Web ont obligé les bibliothèques universitaires à adapter leurs services et leurs pratiques. On remarque une évolution vers un modèle de bibliothèque centrée sur l'apprentissage, qui exploite le potentiel des
Frequency domain blind multiple-input multiple-output system identification
Since commercial banks play important roles in the financial markets, it is important to evaluate whether banks operate efficiently. Moreover, given increased competition from non-bank financial institutions, commercial banks should operate more efficiently than they did previously. Commercial banks might operate more efficiently if they have superior information. If this is true, bank size should not matter to the operation of the bank. Thus, as long as the bank has superior information, it wil
Rural Adolescent Perceptions of the Availability and Accessibility of Substance Abuse Treatment
The prevalence of substance abuse among rural adolescents has equaled or surpassed rates in urban youth, but rural substance abusers go untreated at rates twice that of urban populations. Cultural norms adverse to help-seeking, and low availability and accessibility of substance treatment in rural areas may effect treatment utilization. The primary purpose of this study was to assess rural adolescents’ substance problem recognition and perceptions of substance abuse treatment availability and

6.254 Game Theory with Engineering Applications (MIT)
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of game theory and mechanism design. Motivations are drawn from engineered/networked systems (including distributed control of wireline and wireless communication networks, incentive-compatible/dynamic resource allocation, multi-agent systems, pricing and investment decisions in the Internet), and social models (including social and economic networks). The course emphasizes theoretical foundations, mathematical tools, modeling, and equilibrium n

The paper presents some real experiences, emerging models and lessons learnt based on
the case of Sofia University - Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (FMI), and its
partners. Sofia University has always played a very important role for the development of
the country. The university experiences a lot of challenges related to the overall
transformation of the economic and social system in the country, the changing models of
education, the new role of the universities in the knowledge-based s
Knowledge management systems (KMS) become increasingly important in periods of crises and
economic slowdown, as many organizations are forced to lay off people, to reduce research and ICT
budgets, to restructure departments and to optimize their costs. Subsequently, organizational knowledge
assets, and mainly the existing tacit knowledge are threatened. This raises the importance of
technologies that could assist organizational efforts to capture the existing knowledge and to mobilize it in
