However, not much attention has been paid to the management architecture of the mashed-up services provided across the network domains. Absence of the scalable cross-domain network management architecture restricts the availability and penetration of the service. In this paper, we propose Tambourine framework which defines a web service based a network management API. Tambourine allows applications to access to the management and control information of networked devices across the domains.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129922342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A daily object employs a context-aware capability, where a user's specific context is captured implicitly and naturally by sensors from its original usage because such an everyday object has inherent roles and functionalities. Also, information is presented naturally and effectively during the utilization. A user does not need to learn how to get information, which fills the gap between a user and a complex ubiquitous/pervasive computing environment. In this paper, some projects on augmenting daily objects are presented, where possible applications and a technique to complement a missing piece of context that is obtained only from an instrumental object are presented. Also, we propose to assure a sensor placement for reliable sensing by a daily object.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130649684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When users retrieve on the Internet, the expert users manually select the best search engine for their queries. However, the most important problem is that the novice users cannot understand features of all search engines. Consequently, because such users cannot select the best search engine, the users cannot obtain the best retrieval results. In this paper, we focus the number of retrieval results, and we calculate search engines' matching scores suitable for the user's query by using this focus point. As a result, novice users can select the best search engine using the scores calculated by our system.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129239899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses a method of utilizing idle PC resources by assigning download jobs to idle PCs and distributing it among them. The requirements for the utilization method are as follows: R1: When a user suddenly starts using an idle PC, he/she must be able to work effectively. R2: When a user shuts down a PC abruptly, the system must continue to operate with any interruption. The proposed method of resource utilization monitors bandwidth usage and avoids inefficiency in users' work. The evaluation results of the experiment system are described. The proposed method requires the existence of a leader PC in a network. The evaluation results of a new effective leader election method that assumes the existence of network attached storage (NAS) are also described.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115415261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Communications and open systems","authors":"M. Tokoro","doi":"10.1145/1667780.1667783","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1667780.1667783","url":null,"abstract":"The ultimate purpose of communications is understanding each other. Natural languages play the central role of communications, but other means such as gestures, facial expression, and gaze in the situations are equally important. Physical and social common sense is indispensable, and the historical backgrounds of nations, regions, families, and individuals of speakers and listeners are never negligible. All of these means, modes, and aspects are mutually dependent and change as time progresses. The method of modern science established in the 17th century contributed enormously to scientific advances and technological progress. In the method, we first define the domain of a problem, then reduce the problem in a way that exposes its true nature, and finally discover the underlying principles of the problem domain. When the domain of a problem is too unwieldy and too large for easily reducing the problem, it is broken up into smaller elements that are subjected to the same process. Hence it is called reductionism. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of stubborn issues that are not easily resolved. These unsolved issues are complicated ones that could not be addressed simply by reductionism alone. Earth sustainability is an example of such an issue. It involves energy, climate, population, food, biodiversity, safety assurance, etc., which are mutually dependent, and cannot be solved independently from the others. Another example is life and health. Many properties of the human body have been discovered through molecular biology, but real life also seems to be stochastic, contingent, and historical. Yet another example is the safety of gigantic infrastructures connected through networks. These infrastructures grow and change while they continue to function even in the event of various incidents without having any significant effect on the everyday lives of people. All these issues are related to the problems of integrated systems consisting of numerous interrelated subsystems. The solutions of individual problems cannot solve the overall problem and may even cause another problem or worsen the overall problem. Communications issues are such problems and may not be solved independently from the others. To solve such problems of integrated complex systems, a new approach called open systems science is proposed. The comparison of closed systems and open systems is presented first, and then the definition of open systems science is given. Some applications of this method to actual important problems are exemplified, and the issues on communications are discussed in depth.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125166298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to examine neural effects of moving sounds and neural effects of externalized sounds separately, we included two experimental factors in our design: whether auditory stimuli were externalized or not (externalizability factor) and whether auditory stimuli were moving or not (motion factor). Externalized sounds activated planum temporale (PT) more than non-externalized sounds. Moving sounds activated posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG) more than stationary sounds. An interaction effect was found in the right PT. Our results indicate that the PT and pMTG are involved in realistic auditory motion perception. The fidelity of auditory space presentation may be evaluated by observing neural activity change in the PT and pMTG.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132591164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to compensate for individual characteristics of the earcanal transfer functions and the eardrum impedance, which are generally different from person to person, the method consists of two steps: measuring sound pressure with blocked earcanals and that with open earcanals. The vibration of the eardrum can thereby be precisely reproduced as if the listener were in the original sound scene. Results of experiments using a head and torso simulator (HATS) revealed that sound pressure is correctly reproduced at the position of eardrum as well as at the entrance of the earcanal within a certain wide frequency range.","PeriodicalId":103128,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Universal Communication Symposium","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114844078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
