We propose a novel scheme for a service production using service scenario and its control scheme, which works with a set of distributed functions offered from networked appliances on a home network. Firstly, basic ideas for the service scenario control, which is designed with a network-oriented MVC model and which sits on the dynamic function discovery/negotiation mechanism, are presented. Secondly, the architecture for the scenario control worked with the AMIDEN architecture [M. Minoh, et al. (2001)] and its description is discussed. On the architecture, functions are dynamically connected by the mechanism of the dynamic function discovery firstly, then characteristics of the functions are spontaneously configured by the parameter negotiation on the topology. On top of that, the service model is configured by parsing the service scenario which is statically described, the characteristics of the functions, and its topology which are dynamically configured from the network formation. Finally, from the initial study, we have resulted that the scheme is very much flexible for the service provider to design and create a distributed object-oriented program by using several functions without any knowledge of the function details in advance, and also flexible for the appliance designer to implement a function unit without a condition and a limitation for the integrated service, since each function and each scenario is allowed to be designed separately using generic framework and an appliance service is configured only with the proposed service scenario description sit on the AMIDEN architecture.
Herein, we propose a new Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The model has a multi-layer structure: Each feature has its own layer, called feature lay...

The development of the Internet and the World Wide Web presents both Information Systems professionals and business managers with many new ethical problems. It is therefore, necessary to teach students about professional issues. This paper looks at how Professional Issues entered the Higher Education curriculum during the last decade. In particular we present the experience gained within the school of informatics and Multimedia technology at the University of North London through the integration of case studies for the Professional Issues part of the In-Course-Assessment (ICA) of a Software Engineering module. The case studies fulfil one of the two core capabilities covered in the module. The marking scheme and two different resolutions to the ethical dilemma posed in one of the scenarios (case studies) reached by particular students are presented together with our conclusion and indications of further action and research.

Recent research into distortion-oriented display (DODs) and non-linear magnification techniques has considered extending their application to large three-dimensional datasets. Inherent properties of three-dimensional datasets introduce some difficulties that do not occur in 2D environments. This paper considers the Occlusion Problem-that of context data hiding, or occluding, some or all of the data within an area of focus. A novel solution to this problem is proposed, namely the use of non-geometric distortions combined with geometric distortions, producing a three-dimensional distortion-oriented display that reduces obfuscation of data within the area of focus. An implementation of these techniques is developed, and its application to a small number of 3D datasets is examined as proof of concept.

The amount of information available on the Internet is currently growing at an incredible rate. However, the lack of efficient indexing is still a major barrier to effective information retrieval on the Web. This paper presents the design of an intelligent agent for content-based indexing and retrieval of relevant documents from a large collection such as the Internet. The agent aims at improving the quality of retrieval by capturing the semantics of the documents. It performs the conventional keyword based indexing and introduces a thematic relationship between parts of text using natural language understanding and a linguistics theory called rhetorical structure theory. The agent described in this paper will be implemented and compared against several indexing systems. It is expected to produce a satisfactory improvement over existing techniques.
