This paper investigates semantic communication to enhance the information freshness of status update systems, using time division multiple access (TDMA) as an example. Age of information (AoI) is used to characterize information freshness, defined as the time elapsed since the generation of the last successfully received status update. Prior works on analyzing and optimizing AoI have focused on the conventional bit-oriented communication paradigm, aiming to efficiently and reliably deliver each bit of the update message. When a large number of users take turns transmitting their update messages over a wireless channel to a common access point (AP), conventional bit-oriented TDMA systems may result in a high average AoI because users have to wait a long time for the next update opportunity. To address this problem, we propose a knowledge graph-aided semantic communication for TDMA systems, referred to as KGSC-TDMA, to achieve higher information freshness. With the aid of the shared knowledge graph, KGSC-TDMA transmits the meaning of update messages in the form of triplets instead of exact bits, thus reducing the amount of information transmitted and the time to receive update messages. Furthermore, an update in KGSC-TDMA is successful, even with bit errors, as long as the AP can recover the meaning of the message received. Experimental results indicate that KGSC-TDMA outperforms conventional bit-oriented TDMA in average AoI, thanks to shorter packet durations and robust semantic recovery.

Colorization is the process of adding color to grayscale images using computer algorithms. There are several approaches to color an image, including precise image segmentation algorithms, deep learning algorithms, and manually colored local color expansion methods. However, one common problem with these approaches is the occurrence of “color bleeding”, where colors from one region of the image spill over into adjacent regions. In this paper, we propose a new manually colored local color expansion algorithm that considers the intensity value difference and distance difference between the central pixel in the window and its neighbor pixels comprehensively. Combined with side window filtering, our algorithm significantly reduces the occurrence of colors bleeding at the edges of the colored image. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Web-based Geographical Information Systems (Web-GIS) aim to store, analyze, and disseminate geospatial information, enabling effective decision-making. However, their development requires professional expertise and incurs high development costs, resulting in resource limitations for many organizations in developing their own GIS. To address these challenges, we propose a Geo-Location System (GLS) Framework with a Model-driven approach that will ease the developers to automatically develop their customized Web-GIS using Google Maps API. The framework incorporates a GLS meta-model encompassing essential concepts for Web-GIS development and proposes two novel features using OCL constraints to enhance the framework’s capabilities. The framework also includes a customized tree editor and a graphical modeling tool that allows the easy modeling and visualization of any complex Web-GIS. Moreover, the framework provides an Acceleo transformation engine that automatically transforms models into executable Web code. The resulting source code is browser-ready without manual modifications. The proposed framework is validated with a real-world case study which demonstrates its effectiveness in reducing the overall development complexity, cost, and time.

The study aims to develop a mobile application for young children to learn Sinhala letters, shapes, colors, and storytelling incorporating machine learning models to evaluate and enhance educational activities. With the rise of online education during the COVID-19 pandemic, the familiarity of children with mobile devices provides an opportunity to create an engaging and educational experience. The application will teach Sinhala letters using object images, allowing children to upload their own images for feedback. It also includes a feature for children to practice writing letters and analyze their progress. Also, the application introduces colors and shapes in Sinhala, encouraging children to draw and track their improvement. Additionally, the application aims to generate stories in Sinhala to improve children's creativity and thinking knowledge. This research addresses a critical gap in existing Sinhala learning applications by integrating machine learning for activity assessment, promising to significantly impact and improve early language education for children.
