Two motion features, namely average radius and motion coherence index are extracted to find the different characteristics of fire and smoke. Since, the average radius of motion vectors describes the rapid of intensity change, whilst the motion coherence index has been developed to assess the coherent motion of intensity change. We propose a cutting-edge periodic series analysis to characterize fire and smoke dynamic textures. Our experimental results demonstrate the periodic motion pattern of fire and smoke. Besides, the periodicity index calculated by our proposed method is efficiently able to characterize fire and smoke dynamic textures, higher efficiency than calculated by traditional approach.","PeriodicalId":440018,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing and Workshops (Ubi-Media)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127150162","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}

At the same time, the proposed system can also recognize the action types of those segmented shots. Our system estimates the action number of the video by using the distribution of visual word vectors without any predefined information and automatically adjusts the window step size instead of manual selection. In the proposed approach, the bag of visual word (BOVW) together with self-growing and self-organized neural gas (SGONG) are used to construct the action word dictionary to recognize the video shots. The experimental results show that the performance of our segmentation method can perform well for the test videos.","PeriodicalId":440018,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing and Workshops (Ubi-Media)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127843494","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}

Most researches either focus on how to protect a car from thieves using detection agents or alarm systems. In this technical paper, we will focus on another area of car security, and that is how to protect a car from unexpected activities of car owners. For instance, when the owner forgets to turn off the headlights, tail lights and or interior lights which drain battery power, or when the owner forgets to close the windows, leading to car theft. These unintentional events are called a car owner's daily bad habits. To help car owners get rid of these bad habits, we will apply the Internet of Things (IoT) to detect these habits and use mobile applications to monitor and alarm the owner. We will name of mobile application “Car Alert” which alerts you when you forget to turn off the car lights or close the windows when the engine is off. The devices used to monitor each event consists of noise sensors (monitoring the engine), light sensors (monitoring the car lights), and button sensors (for the car windows). The detected values of each device will be stored on a Cloud, which enables quick access from the mobile application.","PeriodicalId":440018,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing and Workshops (Ubi-Media)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121365070","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 study synthesized previous works and suggested strategies responding to the User Experience design (UX design). The UX design was recommended to be a great tool to achieve success in system design. It was proposed that culture characteristics, online community of practice and content marketing strategy have to be planned with keeping UX design in mind to gain competitive advantages for e-commerce system. Furthermore, it is recommended that social media should be used as a channel to attract more customers.","PeriodicalId":440018,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing and Workshops (Ubi-Media)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131512730","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 learner engagement and activities are classified as online, offline and integration of both. The course completion flexibility levels are divided into high, medium, and low. As MOOCs with low flexibility need considerable engagement with the course contents and assessments they contribute to higher engagement with the courses by involving the learners to spend considerable time on studying. Moreover, as the MOOCs are available entirely online, the user interaction, engagement or activities need not be always online. The paper provides some insights regarding, how the user engagement is higher in such assessments, where the feedback is higher, and in courses with high-level assignments such as paper writing or project submissions.","PeriodicalId":440018,"journal":{"name":"2017 10th International Conference on Ubi-media Computing and Workshops (Ubi-Media)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126480093","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}

Participants had to complete 12 units of network experiments. They had to complete assignments for each unit, to attend computer-based midterm and final exams. The class of students participating in the IP-oriented template based assignments (IPOTAs) experiment also had to finish learning satisfaction questionnaires and learning performance questionnaires of the IP-oriented template based assignments (IPOTAs). An analysis was performed based on the scores they obtained in the assignments of the experiments, the scores they obtained in the exams of the experiments, and the questionnaires. The results show that the adoption of the IP-oriented template based assignments (IPOTAs) results in better scores and higher acceptance rate than the ordinary method.
