This paper focused on the field of education, particularly the study of 'animals', and verified methods of collaboration between videos and other contents such as Wikipedia. When it comes to considering collaboration, it is well-known that metadata are absolutely necessary, and this paper constructed a resource description framework (RDF) store to describe video clips from various viewpoints which cover themes to explain animals, motions about animals, translation from Japanese animal's name to other languages and so on. In order to construct RDF stores and integrate videos with other web services effectively, some natural language processing and dictionary were used and the ontology was generated. By using RDF store, we developed demonstration applications that combine videos with other services.","PeriodicalId":43931,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing","volume":"64 5 1","pages":"65-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86712915","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}

Therefore, this paper proposes the IEEE802.11p based delay tolerant networks (DTN) for the safety surveillance system. In the proposed system, the sensor of quasi-electrostatic field (QEF) on the wheels measures the road conditions, and the observed data is transmitted to another automobile. Moreover, when the road is recognised as the frozen road, and the data is priority sent to the others by the proposed data triage method.

However, it is hard to recover agilely communication infrastructures because of their drastic destruction and reachability limitation to the damaged areas. Wireless multihop access network has the potential to disaster recovery as it can agilely provide the internet connectivity to the victims using their mobile devices. We propose a WiFi-based multihop access network approach in which the networks are established by commodity mobile devices leveraging their built-in WiFi network interface card (NIC). A connected mobile device can share its internet connectivity to the nearby nodes and so forth. As a result, internet connectivity is brought to further victims quickly, bridging them with the outside world. However, the true potential of this solution in real environments has not been well evaluated. This paper provides a comprehensive field experiment using our proof-of-concept prototype. The results reveal the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed network as it can easily extend to 20 hops covering a large enough area for typical disaster, around one kilometre in diameter of damage area.","PeriodicalId":43931,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing","volume":"6 1","pages":"3-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81342716","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}

For evaluating the wearing mobility, relative motion between the mechanism and a human limb wearing the mechanism is considered to be a major factor, because the mechanism is usually fixed tightly to the limb for the purpose of motion support. This paper assumes motion support of a human elbow, and considers evaluation of wearing mobility of a human arm based on measurement data obtained by a sensor device. Evaluation under definitions of some indexes is discussed in this paper. In addition, two mechanical designs, one of which is considered to be typical in wearable elbow mechanisms, are evaluated and compared from the viewpoint of wearing mobility. The comparison suggests that a mechanical design with parallel linkages has potential of improving wearing mobility.","PeriodicalId":43931,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing","volume":"32 1","pages":"209-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85041704","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}

To improve the progress speed of a lecture and the efficiency of the self-learning, we proposed an active learning system (ALS) using mobile devices. Moreover, we performed experimental evaluation of our ALS and showed that the proposed ALS can improve student self-learning and concentration. However, the proposed ALS could not increase the examination pass rate of the students even if the self-learning time was increased.
