In order to practically examine a new type of class, in which cooperative learning is taken into consideration, we designed and built a classroom. This classroom, in which furniture and a flexible ICT basis are both designed reconfigurable, supports much more complex interactions between learners than in a traditional classroom. Two months' observation of the activities in the classroom shows that many aspects of the reconfigurations have encouraged complex interactions within cooperative learning.
The nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) needs to solve a two-point boundary-value problem (TP-BVP) at every sample time based on the receding horizon control strategy. However, solving a nonlinear algebraic equat...

Anxiety can be referred as an underlying source of students’ fears during their study process. Several researches have proposed and identified the anxiety sources among students. However, not many proposals are concerned on validating the instrument of study anxiety sources. In this paper, the validation of the instrument of study anxiety sources is described. For identifying study anxiety sources, a total 300 students of University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) participated in this survey during second semester in the academic year 2008/2009. Findings from 7 dimensions in identifying of study anxiety sources show that all items had achieved validity as analysed by factor analysis. These sources are exam anxiety, presentation anxiety, mathematics anxiety, language anxiety, social anxiety, family anxiety, and library anxiety. Since, the Cronbach alpha of reliability was acceptable, it can be concluded that the associations of students feeling, thought, and experiences toward study anxiety sources support the validity of the instrument.

The test activities performed during the life cycle of the telecommunication service development ensure the service quality and stability so necessary to achieve the maximum availability and reliability. The paper presents authors' contribution to remote and distributed testing for mobile communications services based on cloud computing assets and paradigms. The access solutions to the test methods were implemented for the GSM and GSM-R (Global system for Mobile - Railways) related Intelligent Networks services. The scalability and flexibility of the architecture allows to the proposed solution to be used, for both the production and the educational environments, to access the resources located on the different sites for the tests purpose. The concept of the remote test solution and the practical examples based on the remote tests with real equipments are presented in this paper.
The electric power is indispensable for modern life. However, there is a problem of harmonic disturbance when the harmonic power runs into electronic devices. To overcome the problem and realize a stable supply of the...

This paper proposes a semantic-based multi-agent framework to support development of vehicular social network applications. In the programming model of the framework, software platforms of vehicular social network systems can be developed by the collaboration of mobile agents and service (or resident) agents, where resident agents provide application services on devices and mobile agents provide communication services on behalf of owner applications. On top of the device infrastructure, the architecture of the proposed framework consists of three layers: framework service layer, software agent layer and application layer, to fully support dynamic and collaborative tasks of vehicular social networks. The multi-layer architecture design of the framework fully supports self-adaptive applications in vehicular social network environments, and is readily extensible to support new features. Developers can easily and effectively develop diverse applications for the vehicular social networks. Copyright 2011 ACM.
