Due to the exponential increase of information, search and access for the Web information or service takes much time. Web information is represented through several web pages using hyperlinks and each web page is contains several topics. However. most existing web tools don't reflect such web authoring tendencies and treat it as an independent information unit. This inconsistency yields inherent problems in web browsing and searching. In this paper, we propose a web surfing assistant called LinkBroker that provides collodion pages. They are composed of relevant information extracted from several web pages that have table and frame structure in order to improve accessibility to web information. Especially, the system extracts a set of web pages that are logically connected and groups those pages using table and frame tags. Then, essential information blocks in each page of a group are extracted to construct an integrated summary page. It Provides a comprehensive view to user and one cut way to access distributed information. Experimental results show the effectiveness and usefulness of LinkBroker system.

The recent mobile industry is providing of a lot of image on/off-line contents are being converted into the mobile contents for architectural design. However, it is difficult to provide users with the existing on/off-line contents without any considerations due to the small size of the mobile screen. In existing methods to overcome the problem, the comic contents on mobile devices are manually produced by computer software such as Photoshop. In this paper, I describe the Automatic Comics Conversion(ACC) system that provides the variedly form of offline comic contents into mobile device of the small screen using Multi-Layer Perceptorn(MLP). ACC produces an experience together with the comic contents fitting for the small screen, which introduces a clustering method that is useful for variety types of comic images and characters as a prerequisite as a stage for preserving semantic meaning. An application is to use the frame form of pictures, website and images in order into mobile device the availability and can bounce back the freeze images contents into dynamic images content.

Current flight maneuver diagram used by pilots is based on 2D spatial presentation, so it has limitation on display 3D flight information and hard to understand it instinctively. Flight animation authoring tools for this diagram are complex to use and lack useful features like non-linear editing of flight path and real-time interactivity on multiple aircrafts. This research focuses on 3D flight path generation method in the animation system for flight maneuver education. This research combines initial sketch input on 2D diagram with the thrust of an aircraft to generate 3D linear spline as close as to real flight. Using suggested linear spline creation method, the flight path can be visualized, edited, and animated in real-time at the flight maneuver briefing and debriefing.

Recent IPTV services still remain as simple broadcasting services that cannot make the most of interactive features together with various content-associated data. So, IPTV providers are making efforts to break from monopolistic style, so as increasing the user's participation m service. However there is an interoperability problem because no common solution is employed across different providers. To solve this problem, there needs to be a framework for a framework for generating, sharing and distributing package contents. In this paper, we propose user-centered package contents application framework for interactive IPTV services. We also design a package content authoring and consuming system which plays core parts in the proposed framework.

WebDAV extends the web communication protocol HTTP/1.1 to provide a distributed authoring and versioning across the Internet. A property management, the principal ability of WebDAV, has many advantages for managing and utilizing additional information of server resources as well as supports a role of storage. Most WebDAV Application systems currently available are using WebDAV for providing simple storage space, not for the functionality of property management. However, to develop an advanced application such as a collaborative system based on WebDAV, it is very important to design and utilize user-defined WebDAV properties. In this paper, we propose DavSUDP(WebDAV Simple User-defined Property Definition Protocol) that describes XML-based configurations representing WebDAV user-defined properties and their processing steps. DavSUDP enables WebDAV servers to effectively manage user-defined properties in developing WebDAV-based applications. To show this, we extended the Apache mod_dav module to support DavSVDP and developed the OpenSpace in the iPlace collaborative system using the extended Apache web server.

In this paper. we design and implement a bi-directional broadcasting system, so called return channel server, to allow users to participate in a broadcasting program by using a hi-directional interaction channel. To provide user participation in a program and reflect the user's opinions or responses in real time, the return channel server can be viewed as consisting of four major functional modules: a control module, network interface module, DBMS module, and real-time content authoring module. To construct a return channel server that has a service independent architecture, we designed a return channel server to include the hierarchical structure. The presented return channel server consists of two parts: an RCSAE(return channel server application environment) and RCSA(return channel server application). An RCSA is composed of an execution code and a parameter for executing the execution code. RCSA defines the procedures for providing a specific broadcasting program using the return channel server. On the other hand, an RCSAE provides the environment for the execution of RCSAS. By adopting RCSAE and RCSA, we construct the return channel server that has a service-independent architecture which are shown by the test.

History centered knowledge based story-telling project planning tool supports the process of story creation in narrative genre about history of families or individuals. Narrative fields not only include drama, mythology, legend, history but also non-verbal epics such as movie, play, ballet and opera. But as verbal epic, this research paper focuses on the family history and individual history of each household. This story-telling planning tool redevelops each genre of story-telling about family history through sampleDB and informationDB, and it is widely applicable in concreting high quality stories in both its content and value. Reduces the time of planning story-telling, and impose minimum expenses in human resources. Content about family history is one of the most the fundamental and renowned contents in Story-telling but planning tool that is easily applicable in creating such content does not exist in statue quo. In this current system lacking creative infra, this research paper seeks to provide a planning tool that public can easily utilize, and by systemizing the tool. it aims to create a creative contents tool model applicable in variety of genres.

In order to build a news archive system. the news video stream should be first segmented into several articles, ad their contents are abstracted effectively. This abstraction helps the users to understand the contents of the article without playing the whole video stream. This paper proposes a new article boundary detection scheme for the news video streams together with a new news article abstraction scheme using the shot types of the news video data. The shots in the news video are classified into anchor person shots, interview shots, speech shots, reporting shots, graphic shots, and others. Since the news article starts with an anchor shot whose duration is relatively longer than other shots with special screen structure, the article boundary in detected by the computing the length of the shot and checking the screen structure in the proposed scheme. For the effective abstraction of the article video, the graphic image located in the right-top of the anchor shot frames is primarily used in the proposed abstraction scheme since it is the abstraction of the article made by the producer of the news according to its contents so that it contains a lot of meaningful information. The key frames of the other shots except interview and report shots are also used to abstract the contents of the articles in the proposed scheme. Upon experimental results, the precision and recall values of the proposed article boundary detection scheme could be 92% and 96%, respectively. This paper also presents a design and implementation of a prototype news archive system on WWW that consists of an indexing tool, an authoring tool, a database for meta-data of the news, and a browsing tool.

Despite repeated exhortation about the importance of social and human dimensions of systems development, socio-organizational issues continue to be neglected and ignored in the current information systems practice. A review of the human information processing literature suggests that the reasons for this continuing lack of attention to social issues may be found in the limitations of human cognition and information processing capacities. Bostrom and Heinen(1978) and Kumar and Bjorn-Anderson(1990) also suggest that the inadequate attention to social problems and issues by the analyst could originate from the analysts limited problem perception. This research explores how the representation forms of information systems(IS) methodology used in understanding and modeling the problem situation affect such systems development problem perception. Typically, a system development methodology prescribes the use of system models(i.e., system representations) to understand, analyze, evaluate, and design the information system. Given the size and complexity of information systems, and the abstraction and simplification underlying the modeling process, system representations usually depict only a limited set of aspects of the system. Thus, a methodology whose representations are limited to technical aspects will tend to limit the analyst's perspective to a technical one only(Kumar & Welke, 1990). Following the same line of argument, in contrast, it is the conjecture of this study that a methodology which specifies both social and technical aspects of IS development will help the analyst develop a more comprehensive view of the IS problem domain. Based on the above concept, a theoretical model was first developed which explained the systems analysts cognitive process. Drawing on this model, a research model was developed hypothesizing the impacts of representation forms on problem identification. The model was tested using a laboratory experiment with 70 individual subjects. A special computer software was developed with a hypermedia authoring tool to conduct the experiments in order to avoid experimenter biases and to maintain consistency in administrating repeated experiments. The program, designed to replace the experimenter, consisted of functions such as presenting the subjects with problem material, asking the subjects questions, and saving the typed answers of the subjects. The results indicate that representation forms strongly influence problem identification. It was found that the use of the socio-technical representation form led to the findings of more social problems than the use of technical representation form. The results imply significant effects of representation forms on problem findings and also suggest that the use of adequate representation forms may help overcome dysfunctional effects of our limited information processing capacity.

This paper aims to describe the basic structure of novel object-based 3D audio broadcasting system To overcome current uni-directional audio broadcasting services, the object-based 3D audio broadcasting system is designed for providing the ability to interact with important audio objects as well as realistic 3D effects based on the MPEG-4 standard. The system is composed of 6 sub-modules. The audio input module collects the background sound object, which is recored by 3D microphone, and audio objects, which are recorded by monaural microphone or extracted through source separation method. The sound scene authoring module edits the 3D information of audio objects such as acoustical characteristics, location, directivity and etc. It also defines the final sound scene with a 3D background sound, which is intended to be delievered to a receiving terminal by producer. The encoder module encodes scene descriptors and audio objects for effective transmission. The decoder module extracts scene descriptors and audio objects from decoding received bistreams. The sound scene composition module reconstructs the 3D sound scene with scene descriptors and audio objects. The 3D sound renderer module maximizes the 3D sound effects through adapting the final sound to the listner's acoustical environments. It also receives the user's controls on audio objects and sends them to the scene composition module for changing the sound scene.
