| Abstract | In this paper, we develop the OS functions as RC-OS server to support executing user programs which use FPGAs as customized hardware in multitasking environment. The target system consists of a host compute and FPGAs.
RC-OS server supports management of FPGA resources and communication control between host computer and FPGA resources. |

| Abstract | For accelerating multimedia applications by streaming, we have proposed the heterogeneous multicore processor Hy-DiSC with dynamic reconfigurable processor DS-HIE. The goal of the Hy-DiSC processor is to achieve high performance in a small chip area. In this paper, the DS-HIE processor accelerates the 2-D DCT included in the JPEG encoding process. As a result, compared with the MeP processor the DS-HIE processor achieved 28 times higher performance. And, the DS-HIE processor requires fewer transistor counts to implement it. |

| Abstract | Web community based collaborative learning systems for self-directed learning are generally used to overcome the geographical and time limitations of face-to-face learning. Furthermore, These systems use face-to-face learning methods to enhance learning effects by using blended learning. The system provides shared searched data and analyzed results between different learners in the same learning topics. In this study, students enhanced their creative thinking in searching valuable information and enhanced their self-directed learning abilities. In addition, students improved their problem solving abilities and attitude toward presentations. |

| Abstract | For the purpose of mapping linguistic features of the world's
languages, it is necessary to identify the languages in
Yamamoto-Data and SilGIS-Data. In this paper, firstly we point out
the problems in the primary method that uses language name(s) for
language identification. Secondly, noticing that the world's
languages are classified and grouped into languages family trees,
we propose an improved method for the language classification.
Finally, we give our experimental results. |
