Educational Webportals Augmented by Mobile Devices with iFrimousse Architecture

In the context of educational devices, and of Web portals in particular, the learner and the tutor can be confused by the sheer volume of information available, the evolution of the educational practices in relation to mobile supports and the problems of asynchronous interactions. Our task is to find a way to augment the Webs educational portals using animated characters and mobile supports with a view to relocating synthetic information adapted to the active user (learner or tutor) in a particular context. We present an epiphyte architecture which works with an existing educational portal. We illustrate this work using a scenario in which a mobile system, such as an iPhone, allows the teacher to see the progress of his students, in real time, during practical sessions.

An Epiphyte Architecture to Enrich Content in an Existing Educational Website

The work we will explain you in this paper deals with enriching contents a user normally gets from existing e-learning platforms on the Web. The new approach we propose is based on proxy-like architecture server that doesnpsilat integrate client settings browser. Indeed, we intercept userpsilas requests and all Web site answers to analyze and dynamically generate a marker on source view only. To illustrate our work, the described approach has been implemented with an example from Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) for a Moodle Web site developed by the University of Maine, France.

Dynamic bridge generation for IoT data exchange via the MQTT protocol

Abstract Infrastructures create many problems in the security, economic or health sector. The high level of connectivity on Internet of Things (IoT) field is at the center of new networks and requires interoperable solutions that promote redundancy, and that fault tolerance. Many standard protocols currently allow extensive exchanges between different IoT groups. In this paper, we are interested in reconfigurable links management between sets of IoT linked by Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). This approach is based on the use of multi-agent systems in charge of arranging network topologies.
