Since then there have been many related developments in computing; including the world wide web, e-book readers, maturation of the augmented reality paradigm, embedded and printed electronics, and the internet of things. In this talk I draw on some of my own design explorations of augmenting paper with sound over the years, to illustrate the value of \"audiopaper\" but also the way these explorations were rooted in the applications and technology of the day. I show that two key technologies have been important to the implementation of audiopaper over the years, and that the bigger opportunity is in connecting paper to the web. This culminates in a vision for two future generations of paper which communicate and interact with the digital devices around them.","PeriodicalId":338362,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130814466","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}

Among this, many studies have investigated the approach of Information Centric Networking. However, as already identified, this model has several limitations regarding their application in the context with global reach, i.e., on the Internet. In order to address this problem, this paper presents an architecture that integrates the CDNs and SDNs. Thus, It is proposed the use of a network abstraction layer that provides network services to intermediate the CDN service and the network»s infrastructure. The results obtained preliminarily, demonstrated that the proposed architecture allows you to apply traffic engineering mechanisms implemented in SDN to optimize the distribution of content through the CDN. Finally, we advocate that the proposed solution allows optimizing the distribution of content using SDN on the Internet, that is, even in contexts in which the CDN is operated by a different administrative entity that operates the SDN.","PeriodicalId":338362,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121404603","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}

Electronic games of the new generation are increasingly requiring more processing and powerful video cards. The solution that is gaining more prominence is Cloud Gaming, which the player performs a command, the information is sent and processed remotely on a cloud, then the images return as a video stream back to the player using the Internet. To improve the Quality of Experience (QoE), it is proposed a model that reduces the response time between the player command and the stream of the resulting game scenes through a framework called Cloud Manager. The game must be encoded in different layers so that the Cloud Manager can use layer caching techniques, in the background, and future state prediction using a prediction matrix, in the character layer, in order to reduce the network bandwidth usage, bitrate transmission and network latencies. To validate the results, an action game with god-view as point of view is used in a Cloud Gaming system called Uniquitous.","PeriodicalId":338362,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117022665","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}

However, it is noticed that most platforms use only a unique 3D avatar, and this character is responsible for all the reproduction of signals, with no alternative of choice for users. Such a limitation may have an impact on the acceptance of automatic translation by the deaf community, since there must be empathy of the deaf with the animated agent. Having only one available avatar makes impossible a more precise choice, which may involve personal characteristics and affinities. One of the reasons for this is the great effort, human and technological, that is necessary for the construction of a sign dictionary, which can scale proportionally with the addition of new avatars. In view of such a scenario, the present study aims to investigate mechanisms that allow multiple avatars to be offered in sign dictionaries without necessarily needing to reshape them again and manually, one by one. The initial premise is to analyze the functioning of each signal in a particular avatar, in order to predict possible problems in the reproduction of the signals after the permutation to a new one (retargeting), such as improper collisions or mesh invasions. As main contributions of the work, techniques are proposed to facilitate the identification and automatic correction of nonconformities in the movement of the signals and also some practical recommendations for the modeling of new avatars in order to minimize the occurrence of errors.","PeriodicalId":338362,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123529744","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 general, events extracted from news articles and social networks are used to map the information from web to the various phenomena that occur in our physical world. One of the main steps to perform this relationship is the use of machine learning algorithms for event classification, which has received great attention in the web document engineering field in recent years. Traditional machine learning algorithms are based on vector space model representations and supervised classification. However, events are composed of multiple representations such as textual data, temporal information, geographic location and other types of metadata. All these representations are poorly represented together in a vector space model. Moreover, supervised classification requires the labeling of a significant sample of events to construct a training set for learning process, thereby hampering the practical application of event classification. In this paper, we propose a method called TECHN (Transductive Event Classification through Heterogeneous Networks), which considers event metadata as different objects in an heterogeneous network. Besides, the TECHN method has the ability to automatically learn which types of network objects (event metadata) are most efficient in the classification task. In addition, our TECHN method is based on a transductive classification that considers both labeled events and a vast amount of unlabeled events. The experimental results show that TECHN method obtains promising results, especially when we consider different weights of importance for each type of event metadata and a small set of labeled events.","PeriodicalId":338362,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the Web","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116579748","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}
