Wow experiences - outstandingly positive user experiences - are an increasingly important design target in product and service development contexts because they can help reveal customer needs. The basic idea in our Wow approach is to bring together various disciplines and companies from different fields. Linguistic elements and language tools, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), and game programming are examples of technologies that can be adapted for multiple fields. Our approach will also illustrate our strategies to utilize students' capabilities as an important factor in our RDI and business development. Our experiences will be concretized with examples of case studies that include versatile application fields from manufacturing to interior design, health care, tourism, exhibition, and cultural heritage applications. In our ongoing projects, we are carrying out fast experimentations to study how SMEs can utilize digital Wow effects to enhance product presentations, marketing, engineering applications, and other areas.","PeriodicalId":440408,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125155449","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 paper describes experimental results of modeling the most frequent filled pauses and disfluent events in the annotated Slovak speech databases. We have significantly improved the robustness and speech recognition performance up to 10.88% on average in the transcription of parliament speech by correct representation of selected prosodic events and non-speech sounds in speech recognition dictionary and language models.","PeriodicalId":440408,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130822067","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}

Because of the increased performance and ergonomics of smartphones, the shift away from personal computers is continuously accelerating. Due to this effect, many developers are interested in adapting PC-based solutions to mobile platforms. In this paper, we focus on adapting face recognition algorithms to Android mobile platforms. These algorithms are already part of a Windows desktop application and our aim is to create such an architecture where the application logic has the same source code in different platforms. That is, the article is about a cross-platform development of image processing algorithms. According to our long-term plans, we develop our face recognition algorithms under Windows, but every stable release will be also built as the part of an Android application. In addition, multiple user interfaces must be developed for each platform and we also need interfaces to reach the functionalities of the common application logic from user interfaces. Besides the concept of the architecture and we also quantify the performance of the same algorithms under different platforms.","PeriodicalId":440408,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121355894","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}

Modern loss-based Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) take aggressive congestion window (CWND) control strategies in order to gain better throughput, but such strategies may cause a large number of packets to be backlogged and eventually dropped at the entry point to the wireless access network. This problem applies not only to the downstream TCP sessions but also to the upstream TCP sessions when the terminal is connected via a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), which disregards the size of packets in its scheduling. This paper focuses on the ACK packet backlog problem with the upstream TCP sessions, and proposes a CUBIC based CWND control mechanism as part of the middleware for the Android terminals. It utilizes the Round Trip Time (RTT) as an indication for the TCP ACK backlog condition at the WLAN AP, and controls the upper and lower bounds of its CWND size to suppress excessive transmissions of own TCP DATA packets. An experimental study with up to three Android terminals shows that the proposed mechanism can improve both aggregate throughput and fairness of the WLAN, and that it is highly effective particularly for cases where very long RTTs are observed.","PeriodicalId":440408,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115863269","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 results indicate that participants using modern touchscreen smartphone consider themselves more independent than before when they used older keypad smartphones. They also use more internet related and entertainment applications, along with a large number of different navigation applications. However, it appears that one of the biggest fears of keypad smartphone users is the low speed of writing.
