To achieve that, teachers should be able to produce interactive multimedia learning materials (e.g. educational games) themselves. However, current authoring tools such as Adobe Flash and Macromedia Director are too complex to use by teachers with no computing backgrounds. We would like to address this issue by proposing a simple to use authoring toolkit that will enable teachers to create their own educational game contents. The proposed toolkit operates by using games templates i.e. akin to producing presentation slides using Microsoft Power Point. In this paper, we present the framework in designing such toolkit. Based on this framework, an authoring tool will be developed to enable teachers in Malaysia to author educational game content for teaching basic Jawi words for the primary school children.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"114 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128435942","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 BMI can provide a digital channel for communication in the absence of the biological channels and are used to rehabilitate patients with neurodegenerative diseases, a condition in which all motor movements are impaired including speech leaving the patients totally locked-in. BMI are designed using the electrical activity of the brain detected by scalp EEG electrodes. In this paper five different mental tasks from two subjects were studied, combinations of two tasks are used in the classification process. A novel functional link neural network trained by a PSO algorithm is proposed for classification of the EEG signals. Principal component analysis features are used in the training and testing of the neural network. The average classification accuracies were observed to vary from 80.25% to 93% for the 10 different task combinations for each of the subjects. The proposed network has an average training time of 0.16 sec. The results obtained validate the performance of the proposed algorithm for mental task classification.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115316526","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}

The methodologies of modern project management are highly analytic, usually requiring automated tools to support them on large projects. Like most other disciplines, it is learned through both practice and study. Project management encompasses many different skills, such as understanding the interdependencies among people, technologies, budgets, and expectations; planning the project to maximize productivity; motivating others to execute the plan; analyzing the actual results; and reworking and tuning the plan to deal with the realities of what really happens as the project is executed. In order to manage a project and bring it to a successful completion, its project manager must have a complete understanding of the methodologies being used for the management of different parts of the project. Managers prefer specific project methodology, while resist and face difficulties for an opportunity to manage another project with different methodology as they don’t know how much commonality exists between the preferred and the new required methodology.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115479047","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}

Accurate segmentation of medical images is very essential in Medical applications but it is very difficult job due to noise and in homogeneity. Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) is one of the most popular Medical image clustering methods. We noticed that for some images, FCM is sensitive to initialization of centre of clusters. This article introduced a new method based on the combination of genetic algorithm and FCM to solve this problem. The genetic algorithm is used to find initialized centre of the clusters. In this method, the centre is obtained by minimizing an object Function. This object Function specifies sum of distances between each data and their cluster centres. Then FCM is applied with to the case. The experimental result demonstrates the effectiveness of new method by able to initialize centre of the clusters.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124457734","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}

The state-of-the-art solutions proposed in recent years seem to have focused on the nature-inspired algorithms. While good performance has been reported for many of these algorithms, they are considerably expensive in terms of computation. In this paper, we describe a hybrid solution based on the nearest neighbour algorithm and the progressive improvement algorithm. The nearest neighbour algorithm is a simple search that quickly yields a short tour for TSP, but its solution is usually not optimal. The progressive improvement algorithm, on the other hand, is an improvement strategy that needs to search through a lot of solutions that are near to the current solution, and derives a better one. We conduct experiments with this hybrid approach based on some major cities and towns in Borneo Island. Our experiments show that the hybrid approach is able to produce optimal or near-optimal results consistently for up to 100 cities/towns.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"38 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124844311","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}

We explicitly focus on threats designed to extract information about the original biometric data of an individual from the stored data as well as the entire authentication system. In order to address security and privacy concerns, we present a biometric authentication scheme that uses two separate biometric features combined by watermark embedding with hidden password encryption to obtain a non-unique identifier of the personage. Furthermore, to present the performance of the authentication system we provide experimental results. The transformed features and templates trek through insecure communication line like the Internet or intranet in the client-server environment. Our projected technique causes security against attacks and eavesdropping because the original biometric will not be exposed anywhere in the authentication system.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124846448","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}

An algorithm called Total wavelengths and Expected available wavelengths (TEW) proposed by Pavarangkoon et. al. in order to achieve effective routing and wavelength assignment formulates a link weight function and considers this as the main factor for route selection. This function is calculated by using a determination factor of the number of wavelengths that are being used currently and are supposed to be available after a certain time. However, this algorithm tends to overload paths with smaller weights and higher utilization while lightly loaded paths with slightly lower capacities may remain unused. In this paper, propose an improvement to the TEW algorithm by incorporating the frequency of usage of the paths in the weight function and running Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm to choose paths that have more total and expected available wavelengths and less frequency of usage. The proposed algorithm is called as Countered Total wavelengths and Expected available wavelengths (CTEW) algorithm. The impact of the proposed algorithm on blocking probability is investigated by means of computer simulation and by comparing it with TEW algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better performance in terms of blocking probability.","PeriodicalId":314159,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Symposium on Information Technology","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126650855","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}
