The scheme provides an end-to-end RSVP context transfer for real-time applications to overcome the weakness of Context Transfer Protocol which can not meet the need of end-to-end QoS mechanisms because contexts are only transferred between Access Routers(ARs), therefore they can promptly get the same forwarding process, minimize the handover service disruption, and avoid initiating the end-to-end RSVP signaling from scratch after an MN performs handovers. It may also reduce the signaling overhead and handover latencies by adopting the F-HMIPv6architecture. The performance of the approach is compared with the re-initiating RSVP signaling to re-establish QoS states using network simulator, and the numerical results show that the scheme has the less latency and packet loss than that of the re-initiating approach.展开更多

We propose an extendable hierarchical authorizationassignment framework and design effective role-registeringi role-applying and role-assigningprotocol with symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic systems. The model can be used to simplifyauthorization administration in a distributed environment with multiple applications.展开更多

However, how to integrate CALL into the teaching of culture is still rarely discussed. The purpose of the paper is to explore feasible models for teaching culture in CALL and their effects on students' acquisition process. Based on two fundamental pedagogical approaches (participatory pedagogy and multiliteracies pedagogy) for teaching culture, this paper proposes three pedagogical models (problem-posing model, web-quest model, and computer-supported collaborative learning model) for teaching culture in CALL. In the end, this paper illustrates a combination of the three models in real CALL setting by a cultural teaching case. A questionnaire survey and interviews are conducted to reflect on students' feedback, which gives an insight into possible adjustments in teaching models and the paper also proposes future possibilities in applying these models into teaching culture展开更多

Along with such a tendency, the number of students who use PC (Personal computer) has also increased during the lesson at university. Hereupon, the authors investigate whether the students will get high scores in tests when some limitations are imposed on the students' use of the PC during lecture and when they are not. The authors create the tool to check the students' learning situation and to grasp which student is performing the PC operations, which are not related to the ongoing lesson, during the lecture. Teaching assistant carrying the iPad is made to walk around the class during the lecture and collect data of the students. In addition, the authors develop "MyPage" that the students can be given access to their personal information including individual class absence/tardiness, lesson comprehension and question understanding level of them and after using MyPage, the authors examine its effectiveness as a tool and its relationship with their attendance rate.展开更多

However, due to ignorance of network security, normal users usually take simple activities, such as reinstalling computer system, or using the computer recovery system to clear virus. How system recovery influences virus spreading is not taken into consideration currently. In this paper, a new virus propagation model considering the system recovery is proposed first, and then in its steady-state analysis, the virus propagation steady time and steady states are deduced. Experiment results show that models considering system recovery can effectively restrain virus propagation. Furthermore, algorithm with system recovery in BA scale-free network is proposed. Simulation result turns out that target immunization strategy with system recovery works better than traditional ones in BA network.展开更多
