We present two concepts for the generation of gestural scores to control an articulatory speech synthesizer. Gestural scores are the common input to the synthesizer and constitute an organized pattern of articulatory gestures. The first concept generates the gestures for an utterance using the phonetic transcriptions, phone durations, and intonation commands predicted by the Bonn Open Synthesis System (BOSS) from an arbitrary input text. This concept extends the synthesizer to a text-to-speech synthesis system. The idea of the second concept is to use timing information extracted from Electromagnetic Articulography signals to generate the articulatory gestures. Therefore, it is a concept for the re-synthesis of natural utterances. Finally, application prospects for the presented synthesizer are discussed.

Fuel Management System (FMS) is about managing and accounting for fuel. While implementing FMS in Sudan, some problems are noted, like system delay, inaccuracy and unavailability of the system. These problems and others make fueling companies and customers unsatisfied with the FMS. This paper aims to solve the noted problems by introducing enhanced system architecture and integrating a Caching System in the FMS architecture to enhance the performance, reduce system delay and increase the availability of the system. After architecture was developed, simulation programs were implemented to simulate the interactions required to re-fuel and to provide statistics results that help in evaluating the proposed FMS. The results of simulation programs were presented as the average service time, number of customers in system, number of customers in queue, idle probability and other results. The average service time was reduced and all results obtained emphasize the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

This paper describes a novel architecture to introduce automatic annotation and processing of semantic sensor data within context-aware applications. Based on the well-known state-charts technologies, and represented using W3C SCXML language combined with Semantic Web technologies, our architecture is able to provide enriched higher-level semantic representations of user’s context. This capability to detect and model relevant user situations allows a seamless modeling of the actual interaction situation, which can be integrated during the design of multimodal user interfaces (also based on SCXML) for them to be adequately adapted. Therefore, the final result of this contribution can be described as a flexible context-aware SCXML-based architecture, suitable for both designing a wide range of multimodal context-aware user interfaces, and implementing the automatic enrichment of sensor data, making it available to the entire Semantic Sensor Web
