Because of some traditional modes of teaching, our understanding for Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) in probability and statistics appears narrow, making application of CAI in probability and statistics superficial. Four aspects of CAI in probability and statistics are researched mainly to reform traditional teaching and enhance teaching quality and effect of probability and statistics. Firstly, the paper defines traditional teaching of probability and statistics. Secondly, the paper addresses some skills of doing multimedia courseware of probability and statistics. Thirdly, the paper considers application and development of statistical software of CAI in probability and statistics. At last, the paper stresses the leading role of teacher in CAI.

As the main infrastructure of Internet-two, digital library have had a rapidly development and received a lot of harvest in recent years. But one of the key problems is how to help users to find satisfied resources more efficiently among the affluent contents in heterogeneous repositories of digital libraries. Metadata as a kind of structure data about data can describe the content, semantics and services of data. Metadata, which is a foundation of defining and organizing the resources in digital library, plays a pivotal role in constructing resources. Therefore, metadata extraction, semantic retrieval and semantic annotate in metadata automatic management are challengeable research tasks. Each kind of metadata could be regarded as a classification. Therefore, metadata extraction is just as the classifying work for every document block. The paper focused on the research of automatic metadata extraction based on mutual information which is a widely used information theoretic measure, in a descriptive way, to compute the stochastic dependency of discrete random variables. Metadata extraction has been performed using max-mutual information including linear and non-linear feature conversions. Entropy is made use of and extended to find right features commendably in digital library systems.

Knowledge Management (KM) has become an important success factor for enterprises and organizations. The knowledge is organized as "Subject-Action-Object" form in this paper. And the five procedures of KM: knowledge creation, knowledge extraction, knowledge classification, knowledge retrieval and knowledge sharing and reuse are discussed in this paper. The user query will be expanded based on Ontology during the process of knowledge retrieval and more semantic related results will be gotten. The knowledge can be efficiently searched and thus reusable by the proposed method.

File sharing and replication presents a challenging issue due to the unreliability nature of the wide area network. Peer-to-Peer systems are emerging as a new paradigm for structuring large-scale distributed systems. Different architectures of Peer-to-Peer systems, inherent with some advantages and disadvantages, have been proposed for applications such as file sharing, storage management or digital library which benefit from the cooperation between peers. This paper proposes a bidirectional ring cluster-based peer to peer system (BRCPPS) architecture which includes two parts: a bidirectional ring as backbone and some clusters connected to the ring through their cluster head nodes. The ring nodes act as lookup entry for out-cluster query. Bottom tier nodes self-organize into a Gnutella-like cluster and select one high performance node as their cluster head. Each cluster is a relatively smaller Gnutella network. The ring nodes don t act as index server of clusters and contain no files and replicas index of the cluster, but they plays an important role of transmitter for out-cluster query messages among clusters. The bidirectional ring has more reliability and ensures efficient lookup.

Temporal educational information processing is an important and challenging issue in database management systems. After the shortages of current temporal data management are analyzed in detail, this paper introduces an engine-like approach to implement the above information processing. According to this approach, a temporal database middleware as a stratum is constructed on the top of the existing non-temporal DBMS, named TDBEngine, and the related query language and architecture factors are taken into consideration, and then the feasible architecture is designed and implemented, whilst, syntactic and semantic issues are solved. Finally, the demonstration of an example stums that this approach meets the requirement of temporal educational information processing.

Group awareness is the basis of the group cooperation. Its model and application is an important research field in CSCW community. A role based hierarchical group awareness model (RHGAM) on the basis of the previous research is presented in this paper. Regarding role as the basis of the group cooperation, firstly RHGAM constructs a group cooperation environment (GCE), and then GCE is extended by group awareness content, awareness hierarchy, the task decomposition rule. The model divides the awareness information into four levels by decomposition and recombination using a role-task graph and the thinking of group structure. The implementation mechanism of the model to provide group cooperation and awareness mechanism in the project Personal Research Information Workspace is also discussed in this paper.

The ability of conducting creative thinking is crucial to an engineering student. Fostering the personal quality of engineering students is therefore the top priority for teachers who work in the engineering education fields. In this paper, ire will review the pivot principles that affect the cultivation of creative thinking, based on our teaching experiences in industrial design. Multimedia courseware, as an effective way in cultivating student's creative thinking, will be studied in terms of it content and application. Several design projects will be taken as template to analyze the creative thinking process in specific design. Common rules for conducting creative thinking in industrial design will be investigated and formulated, and proposals for the inspiration of creative thinking in engineering education will be suggested. Some design solutions will be provided in order to demonstrate the impact of creative thinking on specific design results.
