MARF: Modular Audio Recognition Framework (in French)

Le Modular Audio Recognition Framework (MARF) concu en 2002, est une plateforme de recherche open-source et une collection de composants avec des algorithmes pour le traitement de la voix, le son, la parole, et l'écriture et de langues naturelles (TALN) MARF a été crée en Java et organisé sous forme de modules extensible qui facilite l'addition de nouvelles algorithmes. MARF peut être utilisé comme une bibliothèque dans un application ou comme une base de support à l'apprentisage et en extension. MARF a aussi été publié dans les plusieurs articles de conférence avec les detailles scientifiques dedant. De la documentation détaillée et la référence d'API en format javadoc sont disponibles étant donné que le projet tente d'être bien-documenté. MARF et ses applications sont déployés sous une licence BSD

Multifaceted Faculty Network Design and Management: Practice and Experience Report

We report on our experience on multidimensional aspects of our faculty's network design and management, including some unique aspects such as campus-wide VLANs and ghosting, security and monitoring, switching and routing, and others. We outline a historical perspective on certain research, design, and development decisions and discuss the network topology, its scalability, and management in detail; the services our network provides, and its evolution. We overview the security aspects of the management as well as data management and automation and the use of the data by other members of the IT group in the faculty.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, TOC and index; a short version presented at C3S2E'11; v6: more proofreading, index, TOC, reference

Mobile application platform heterogeneity: Android vs Windows phone vs iOS vs Firefox OS

Modern smartphones have a rich spectrum of increasingly sophisticated features, opening opportunities for software-led innovation. Of the large number of platforms to develop new software on, in this paper we look closely at three platforms identified as market leaders for the smartphone market by Gartner Group in 2013 and one platform, Firefox OS, representing a new paradigm for operating systems based on web technologies. We compare the platforms in several different categories, such as software architecture, application development, platform capabilities and constraints, and, finally, developer support. Using the implementation of a mobile version of the tic-tac-toe game on all the four platforms, we seek to investigate strengths, weaknesses and challenges of mobile application development on these platforms. Big differences are highlighted when inspecting community environments, hardware abilities and platform maturity. These inevitably impact upon developer choices when deciding on mobile platform development strategies
