Hypermedia = hypercommunication
New hardware and software technology gave application designers the freedom to use new realism in human computer interaction. High-quality images, motion video, stereo sound and music, speech, touch, gesture provide richer data channels between the person and the machine. Ultimately, this will lead to richer communication between people with the computer as an intermediary. The whole point of hyper-books, hyper-newspapers, virtual worlds, is to transfer the concept and relationships, the 'data structure', from the mind of creator to that of user. Some of the characteristics of this rich information channel are discussed, and some examples are presented
Integrating Technology With Student-Centered Learning
Reviews research on technology's role in personalizing learning, its integration into curriculum-based and school- or district-wide initiatives, and the potential of emerging digital technologies to expand student-centered learning. Outlines implications
Digital Transformation of Education and Sustainability-Literature based study
As usage of the internet has increased since the 1990s, the usage of digitization has also increased. Digital transformation, however, is broader than just the digitization of existing processes. Digital transformation entails considering how products, processes and organizations can be changed through the use of new, digital technologies
Brain-inspired computing needs a master plan
New computing technologies inspired by the brain promise fundamentally different ways to process information with extreme energy efficiency and the ability to handle the avalanche of unstructured and noisy data that we are generating at an ever-increasing rate. To realize this promise requires a brave and coordinated plan to bring together disparate research communities and to provide them with the funding, focus and support needed. We have done this in the past with digital technologies; we are in the process of doing it with quantum technologies; can we now do it for brain-inspired computing
Satellite technology : reinforcement of computer data transmission technology : implications for the maritime world communications, data transfer and maritime education
This dissertation is a study of the impact of data transmission via satellite on the maritime world of communication, data transfer and education. The aim of the study is to understand the technological reinforcement of the maritime industry and the changes taking place in it. With the avalanche of changes that are taking place in the field of information technology, they can be used to facilitate the shipping industry. This dissertation assists in understanding some of the technological evolution of satellite technology and data communication and in the needs of the maritime industry as well. This dissertation describes satellite technology and data communication and analyses the data communication software (protocols), compression software, and other application software combinations with maritime communication system provided to improve ship operation and management for safety. The conclusion and recommendations chapter examines the implications of the technology changes on developing countries, the need to be harmonised in training and education for the maritime industry, maritime communication systems and the equipment, policy of shipping companies and communication costs
High-Level Design for Ultra-Fast Software Defined Radio Prototyping on Multi-Processors Heterogeneous Platforms
International audienceThe design of Software Defined Radio (SDR) equipments (terminals, base stations, etc.) is still very challenging. We propose here a design methodology for ultra-fast prototyping on heterogeneous platforms made of GPPs (General Purpose Processors), DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array). Lying on a component-based approach, the methodology mainly aims at automating as much as possible the design from an algorithmic validation to a multi-processing heterogeneous implementation. The proposed methodology is based on the SynDEx CAD design approach, which was originally dedicated to multi-GPPs networks. We show how this was changed so that it is made appropriate with an embedded context of DSP. The implication of FPGAs is then addressed and integrated in the design approach with very little restrictions. Apart from a manual HW/SW partitioning, all other operations may be kept automatic in a heterogeneous processing context. The targeted granularity of the components, which are to be assembled in the design flow, is roughly the same size as that of a FFT, a filter or a Viterbi decoder for instance. The re-use of third party or pre-developed IPs is a basis for this design approach. Thanks to the proposed design methodology it is possible to port "ultra" fast a radio application over several platforms. In addition, the proposed design methodology is not restricted to SDR equipment design, and can be useful for any real-time embedded heterogeneous design in a prototyping context
Project Pradio
This paper examines the design and manufacturing of a device that allows two or more users to share a wireless audio stream. Effectively, this allows a group of people to listen to the same audio in a synchronized manner. The product was unable to be completed in the allotted time. Regardless, significant progress was made and valuable insight into the circuit board design process was gained
Didactic platform with a DSP to support the teaching of digital signal processing
Si ens posem en context d'un estudiant d'enginyeria, descobrirem que una de les majors motivacions de l'aprenentatge són les prà ctiques de laboratori. Aquest treball de fi de grau tractarà sobre la recerca i el desenvolupament d'una plataforma didà ctica per a l'assignatura de «Processament Digital del Senyal», impartida durant el tercer curs acadèmic del grau d'Enginyeria de Sistemes TIC. Aquesta plataforma que desenvoluparem inclourà un processador de senyals digitals (DSP) i els perifèrics necessaris perquè els estudiants i professors creïn projectes en un entorn de prototipatge rà pid. A més, els annexos proporcionats haurien de complir amb els requisits per a que aquells que estiguin interessats puguin fabricar el nostre disseny amb poques dificultats.If we put ourselves in the context of an engineering student, we will discover that one of the greatest motivations for learning are laboratory works. This final degree thesis will be about the research and development of a didactic platform for the subject of Digital Signal Processing, taught during the third academical year of the ICT Systems Engineering degree. This platform we are going to develop will encase a digital signal processor (DSP) and the required peripherals for the students and teachers to quickly create projects in a fast prototyping environment. Additionally, the provided annexes should meet with the requirements for those who are interested to manufacture our design with little trouble
