ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Central Test and Evaluation Incentive Program, (CTEIP) is developing Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) to extend serial streaming telemetry (SST) with a command and control link. Command link interfaces link remote Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) transmitters (Tx) and receivers (Rx), developed under the ARTM CTEIP project, via graphical user interfaces (GUI). The communication channel links the iNET Tx on a vehicle network (vNET) and the iNET Rx on a ground station network (gNET) via a single GUI. The command link is an essential part of the pending iNET Technology Demonstration.

Numera är multimedia på webbsidor mycket vanligt. Användare kan tillexempel se på filmer på sinadagstidningars webbsidor. Webbsidor har också blivit mer interaktiva. Detta beror dels på de högahastigheterna användare har på sina internetuppkopplingar, som tillåter tyngre multimedia påwebbsidorna, så som video. Teknikerna bakom de här multimedia webbsidorna heter HTML 5 ochFlash Player. Flash Player har varit en standard för multimedia upplevelser på Internet ett tag nu mendet finns brister i tekniken. Och utmanaren heter HTML 5. HTML 5 erbjuder nya funktioner som kanunderlätta både för utvecklare och användare. Denna studie syftar att skapa förståelse om bägge dessatekniker. Och även att jämföra aktuella begrepp som möjliggör en jämförelse mellan teknikerna föratt ta fram styrkor/svagheter och möjligheter/hot för de bägge teknikerna. Hur påverkar respektiveteknik användare och utvecklare? Har teknikerna någon påverkan på Smartphones och webbläsareeller tvärtom. Vi har gjort en litteraturundersökning och en empirisk undersökning och därmed arbetatefter att få reda dessa styrkor/svagheter och möjligheter/hot. Kommer det bli ett skifte av teknik föratt utveckla multimedia webbplatser? Slutsatser som vi har kommit fram till är baserade på analysenav litteraturstudien och den empiriska undersökningen. Många faktorer spelar in i vårt resultat.HTML 5 är inte en beprövad teknik men som dock har en del fördelar och möjligheter. HTML 5 hartill exempel stora företag i ryggen som YouTube och Apple. Men det finns även nackdelar och risker.Till exempel så saknar HTML 5 stöd från vissa webbläsare. Flash Player är däremot en beprövadteknik som når många användare. Men Flash Player har dock nackdelar i bland annatstabilitetsproblem och dessutom är Flash Player resurskrävande. Men även Flash Player har fördelaroch möjligheter. Bland annat så bygger många företag sina koncept kring Flash Player. MenHTML 5 tåget går för fullt och många ser ut att hoppa på det. Bland annat YouTube har redanlanserat en demo webbsida där HTML 5 testas för att spela upp video, dock krävs det enwebbläsare med stöd för HTML 5. Det här eventuella skiftet lär dock inte ske idag, HTML 5kommer behöva tid för att etablera sig som en tydlig standard på nätet. / Program: Systemvetarutbildningen

The familiar computer graphic user interface (GUI) makes extensive use of visually representative devices such as folders and files. These symbols help the user deal with computer data and operations that otherwise have little or no physical form. The computer’s underlying complexity is symbolised for the user, who is then able to manipulate the computer by interacting directly with the interface. The early development of computer interface design was largely the domain of software and hardware developers. Many sound principles of user interaction and testing were established and provided essential guidance for new generations of interface designers. As computer technology and its tools became more widely available, a broader range of designers began contributing, including those from product design and visual communication. This study is written from the point of view of a “visual designer” – a designer who began his career in graphic design and who has moved towards interface design out of curiosity and a desire to proffer a different attitude and approach to interface issues. The study therefore will demonstrate a design process that many visual designers will be able to identify with. The process includes research, analysis, methodical progression and artistic inspiration. The artistic inspiration in this case comes from the Constructivist artist El Lissitzky, and will illustrate the significant contribution that art can make to interface design. This art-influenced design process was presented at the 2005 Ed-Media World Conference on Educational Multimedia, (Montreal, 2005). The enthusiastic response and discussion provided encouragement to continue in this direction. In the following year another presentation, which included the working prototype, was presented as part of a keynote speaker presentation at the 2006 Siggraph Taipei Conference, National Chiao Tung University, Taipei. The specific task chosen to work with in this study is that of Web browser history. As a user browses the Web the computer records a list of visited websites. The first few generations of browsers presented this information as a simple list, but this approach incorporated many flaws and caused problems for users. More recent browsers provide more options, but significant issues remain. This study offers solutions to several of these problems. The resulting design prototype is named “isoBrowser”. It is the result of the alternative design process outlined above and offers alternative methods of visualising, organising and manipulating data. The prototype is not intended to be fully functional nor “live”. However, it is sufficiently operable so as to test interface interaction and user response. A fully functional version, operably and aesthetically complete, would be the subject of further development.

The goal of this master's theses is to create interactive educational package for teaching physics at primary schools. Next part of the thesis will be creating new interactive materials for teaching "Acoustic" and then testing the materials in their compatibility/usability part and test it in real teaching.

I denna uppsats beskrivs gränssnittsproblematiken i dagens webbläsare. Syftet är att undersöka om användargränssnittet i webbläsaren hämmar användarna till att sätta sina individuellt anpassade säkerhetsinställningar. En stor del vardagliga sysslor utförs via webbläsaren, exempelvis hantera bankärenden eller ladda upp bilder på sociala medier. Därför finns det ett behov av att webbläsarens gränssnitt kommunicerar olika säkerhetsnivåer och inställningar så att alla användare kan använda och förstå de inställningar som erbjuds. Med hjälp av teoretiska utgångspunkter söker vi svar på eventuella brister i webbläsaren med hjälp av användarstudier. Genom att observera och intervjua våra försökspersoner kom vi fram till att det finns brister i webbläsaren som behöver utvecklas. Vi vill med vår uppsats öppna upp för en diskussion då vi vill förmedla importensen av att användare behöver känna sig säkra i webbläsarens gränssnitt för att kunna tillgodogöra sig information angående sin egen säkerhet. / In this paper we describe the problems with today’s web browsers within the interface. We are aiming to investigate whether or not the browser interface inhibits users from putting their personal safety settings. A great amount of everyday tasks are performed via the browser, for example banking transactions or uploading images on social media. Therefore the need of a browser user interface that can communicate different security levels and settings so that all users can understand and use the settings that are offered. With the help of theoretical starting points, we seek answers to any shortcomings in the browser interface through user studies. By observing and interviewing our subjects, we concluded that there are flaws in the browser that need to be developed. We want our thesis to open up for discussion in which we want to convey the importance of the users’ needs to feel safe in the browser interface to assimilate information about their own safety.

The author of this thesis aims to analyze and develop a prototype of a software responsible for showing how the specific web application would be displayed by the concrete device. First, the problem of diversity of devices for accessing the web and of the level of support of modern web technologies is explained to the reader. Then the thesis offers a way how to help developers with testing across web browsers on different hardware. The analytical section describes the methods the author would like to use for accomplishing the goal, and also the set of suitable technologies. The penultimate section shows the manner the author implemented the prototype of the software. The Software is then subjected to tests showing that the prototype meets the requirements.

This Master's thesis was written to create the extension for an experimental rendering engine CSSBox about scripting support in JavaScript language. In the theoretical section the thesis describes the architecture of the rendering engine and introduces problems of the scripting in HTML documents according to the recommended HTML 5 specification. This thesis deals with thorough analysis of existing scripting engines and their interfaces, which could be used for the extension implementation. Depending on the knowledge gained from the previous parts this thesis focuses only on the scripting engine Rhino and introduces an abstract design of its integration into the CSSBox project. At the end it evaluates the reliability and efficiency of the implemented functionalities and considers possibilities of their further development.

The goal of this work is to create a model of a platform for an application development provided that this platform is implemented in PHP. Applications are built by connecting of functional modules according to desired properties. The run of these applications is provided by the platform.

The thesis treats automatic extraction of semantic data from Web pages. Within this broad problem, it focuses on finding values of data figures within the page presenting certain entity (e.g. price of a laptop). The main idea we wanted to evaluate is that a figure can be found using its context in the page: the words that surround it and values of the attributes of the containing HTML tags, class attribute in particular. Our research revealed there are two types of contemporary solutions of this problem: either the author of the Web page must inline semantic information inside the markup of the page or there are commercial tools that can be trained to parse a particular page format (targetting pages from a single Web domain). We examined the possibilities of developing a general solution that would - for given entity - find its properties across the Web domains using text analysis and machine learning. The naïve algorithm had about 30% accuracy, the lear- ning algorithms had the accuracy between 40 and 50% in finding the properties. Despite the accuracy is not acceptable for a final solution, we believe it confirms the potential of the idea. Keywords: Web pages data extraction 1
