In this paper, we explore the use of multimodal interfaces (tangible and gestural) in collaborative gameplay. our setup, gestural interaction is performed to perform tasks with reference content on a wall display, support main activity involving tangible tabletop display. We designed two games using configuration, order how children share these during conducted pilot within-subjects user study, piloting 35 between ages 8 15, considered impact number factors (group size, age range, game type...

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) offer tremendous benefits for remote health monitoring and real-time patient care. However, the success of such a system would primarily depend on reliability data transmitted by WBAN. Two aspects need to be considered, namely, accuracy freshness (or, recentness data). Assuming that sophistication sensors addresses problem accuracy, becomes crucial. The focus this work is ensure reduced delay communication within WBAN, thereby reducing overall network...

With organizations around the world increasingly adopting wireless local area networks (WLAN), addressing security needs of becomes a top priority task. Particularly, issue "intruders" or presence undesired entities, in network is utmost importance. Being "friendly", as they usually are, intruders gain access into an organization, without consent and organization's knowledge. This poses serious threat since large amounts important classified data are exchanged over such regularly. Though...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology made popular by the ability of RFID tags to uniquely represent objects. However, they are severely resource-constrained due design restrictions. This limits their perform complex computations for security. In systems, priority ensure integrity messages and entity authentication. We consider message in our work. To (i.e., sent must be same as received message), actual usually hashed transmitted receiver along with encrypted message. it...

The emphasis on security in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems is increasing with each passing day, owing to their corresponding increase popularity defence, anti-counterfeiting, logistics and medical applications. However, resource restrictions RFID tags curtail the use of sophisticated algorithms achieve better security, therefore, privacy. Much current work has focused either creating new lightweight cryptosystems specifically for applications or adapting some existing...

We present the results of our study people's responses to unsafe scenarios with personal safety apps. Several such apps have been developed, offering features as a location-sharing panic button. However, there is little research into how people might respond in different situations, and contribute their response. performed lab 30 participants used semi-structured interviews gather set three increasingly risky scenarios, both before after installation app. From results, stated that they would...

A learning experience comprises several factors and understanding them becomes a crucial first step in developing engaging experiences, considering how is no longer always passive "absorb what told/what you read" exercise. Drawing lessons from designing user we present structured holistic approach to design experiences cater both learners teachers, by the unique attributes of experience. We explore role technology augmenting experiences. Our work attempts understand factors/attributes that...

This paper proposes a hybrid encryption technique that generates key dynamically, along with integrity check parameters. Our approach the stream using chained approach, beginning an initial preshared key. Subsequent keys are derived logical operations on intermediate cipher texts and generated in each stage. is improvement over chaining techniques, which use text to derive successive keys. We validate our algorithm by proof-of-concept implementation security analysis.

Android applications may request for users’ sensitive information through the GUI. Developer guidelines designing mandate that must be masked/encrypted before storing or leaving system. However not all adhere to guidelines. As a prerequisite tracking input data, it is essential identify widgets it. Previous research has focused on identifying widgets, but extraction of layouts, including images and unused fundamental. In this paper, we propose an automated framework finds user from...

For introductory programming courses, it is crucial to create formative and summarized grading practices that foster growth mindset in students.
