In this paper, we present a particular case of a dynamic, real-time and efficient web-based mobile robot experiment platform (WEB.MREP) design for mobile robotic applications. The design and construction of a multipurpose and WEB.MREP for the application of different path planning and tracking, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and robot vision techniques for mobile robotic system is the main purpose of this study. The designed and constructed experiment platform consists of five main components: Festo Robotino mobile robot sets, a designed experimental area, a server software, web interfaces (user interfaces) and security measures. The designed platform provides monitoring, real-time controlling and programming of mobile robots for experimental studies and, it helps the users to achieve these studies through a standard web browser without any additional supportive software.

Change is afoot in the academic library world. The World Wide Web has expanded the types of services academic librarians are able to provide their patrons. We can now offer Web-based electronic databases, WebPACS, electronic journals, electronic reserve systems with Web-interfaces and a wide range of specialized digital library collections. Our patrons now have access to a huge variety of information, and they no longer have to leave their offices or homes to obtain it. Future developments include improved information retrieval algorithms, chic user-interfaces, advanced network services and virtual libraries created to serve the growing population of distance and online learners. Academic librarians face a world of exploding digital resources and their assistance in organizing this chaotic web of information is vital.

To address diverse interaction needs of heterogeneous users' groups, user interfaces must be flexible to accommodate for customization that are specific to each user profile. Although, existing web interfaces provide some flexibility, some problems still remain: a) manual adjustments carried out by end users are required for each web application; b) the flexibility provided by current web interfaces is insufficient to address diverse interaction needs of various users' profiles and c) few users are aware about such options to customize the presentation of web interfaces. To contribute to the customization of user interface according to the needs of diverse users, in this work we asses the suitability of a tool that customize web interfaces based on the needs and preferences of end users. UIFlex is a web-based browser plugin that enables users to define their interaction profile. In this task, users are supported by fifteen web-based design rules that were extracted from the literature and the knowledge of authorities. To customize the presentation of web interfaces, UIFlex relies on a set of rules defined for each individual user and "injects" JavaScript codes, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and in some cases HyperText Markup Language (HTML) codes in any page that follows W3C standards. UIFlex was evaluated by 104 users of diverse interaction profiles. The results obtained are promising and suggest that the solution improves the perception that the interactive system performs as desired by users.

With the changes of learning psychology and information technology, CSCL tools should also keep up with the times and meet the growing needs of learners. The appearance of RIA can make up the deficiencies of Web-based CSCL tools at present. With the use of RIA, the next generation tools could be realized with high interactivity and richer user interfaces. Silverlight is one of mainstream technologies of RIA, and it has the advantages of better user interfaces, high development efficiency, newer way of communication, and so on, which other RIA technologies could not reach. In order to facilitate collaborative knowledge construction of learners, the paper design and develop a Web-based CSCL tool which has the function of real-time interactivity with words or graphics.

Modern Web-based Information Systems (WIS) must be flexible and prepared to be easily accessible and manageable in real-time. WIS user interfaces (UI) are still being constructed on the basis of traditional software development paradigms, without taking into account in their construction (or in the knowledge managed by the systems) the main criterion of globalization, that they must be distributed, open and changing. WIS-UI must be able to be constructed depending on the type of interaction (individual or collective) and the purpose of the interaction (management, technical, etc.). In this paper, the authors present a component-based development perspective to build user interfaces of WIS by means of the composition of widgets-components architectures and MDD approaches.

Collaborative Activities

Web-based information delivers real-time or near-real-time data to clientele and other stakeholders. Although proprietary methods are available for interactively searching and updating databases through web interfaces, these methods generally require varying costs to maintain licensing agreements. The availability of publicly available software that require minimal or flexible licensing costs provide a cost-effective alternative to institutions that are considering access to databases via a web-accessible interface. For example, if a current web server is already configured to support hypertext preprocessor (PHP) scripts and MySQL databases, all that needs to be installed is a form script to allow the searching, inserting, and deleting of records. We describe procedures, software, and other applications that we used to develop a publicly accessible web interface to an experimental database of representative sweetpotato accessions in Kenya. The web address of this database is http://www.viazivitamu.org. This site also contains links to sweetpotato collection sites in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda graphically shown using a public domain GIS viewer. This demonstrates that public domain web-based tools can be configured not only to support collaborative activities among researchers in various locations, but also to provide relevant data to clients and other stakeholders.

Abstract Face detection is widely used in the consumer industry such as advertising, user interfaces, video streaming apps and in many security applications. Every application has its own demands and constraints, and hence cannot be fulfilled by a single face detection algorithm. In this work, we developed an interactive web-based application for face detection in real-time images and videos. Pretrained face detection algorithms, namely Haar cascade classifier, HOG-based frontal face detector, Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN) and Deep Neural Network (DNN), were used in the web-based application. A performance analysis of these face detection algorithms is done for various parameters such as different lighting conditions, face occlusion and frame rate. The web app interface can be used for an easy comparison of different face detection algorithms. This will help the user to decide on the algorithm that suits their purpose and requirements for various applications.
