The most common interaction with the Web is through the ubiquitous browser using visual interfaces. Most search engines use traditional visual interfaces to interact with its users. However, for certain applications and users it is desirable to...

This paper describes a research project that is investigating the effect of the inclusion of visual cues on the consistency of the decision making process as it applies to consumer purchasing decisions in e-commerce applications. This research is...

Web-Cameras have gained wide spread popularity for a variety of purposes. Most of the available applications use the snapshot approach, where the camera is mounted in a certain position and the field of view is fixed. This paper describes a Web...

This paper describes a computer based multimedia tutorial on data storage types. The tutorial was designed as a supplement to lecture material presented in an undergraduate 200-level course entitled, Hardware/Software Concepts. Information in the ...

This paper presents an application that facilitates the implementation of electronic commerce sites. The application uses a series of templates or universal forms to accomplish this development. The forms are used to populate details needed for...

Technological development has provided for new methods of instruction. Specifically, the audio component of multime-dia can be used to bring sound, speech, and music to com-puter applications where the learner engages in interactive learning....

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has become an increasingly powerful and inexpensive tool for developing interfaces for a variety of applications. Even though there has been an increase in the use of virtual reality (VR), there is a lack of...

The most common interaction with the Web is visual and accomplished through the use of the keyboard or mouse. Currently, the user cannot interact with a Web page using speech. This orientation limits the mobility of the user and his interaction...

This paper describes a web-based tutorial using Java to teach computer fundamentals to freshman and sophomore students in computer science programs. The tutorial covers the following topics: logic gates, parity detectors/generators, and...

This paper describes a web-based Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) Tutorial that provides an interactive online guide which uses a learning-by-example approach to teach SMIL programming. It includes thoroughly explained sample...

With the proliferation of mobile devices there is a growing demand for "what I need when I need it" (WINWINI) type of applications. Location Based Services (LBS), which make use of the geographical location of a mobile device, are filling the need....

ASP.NET mobile controls have become a powerful tool for the development of mobile web applications, making an effective and efficient transition from Internet on the desktop to Internet everywhere. ASP.NET mobile controls facilitate the deployment...

This paper describes the implementation of a well-known paradigm to depict the architecture and operations of a computer. The model, originally introduced by Dr. Stuart Madnick at MIT, is called the Little Man Computer (LMC). This simplistic...

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has become an increasingly powerful and inexpensive tool for developing interfaces for a variety of applications. Even though there has been an increase in the use of virtual reality (VR), there is a lack of...
