ABSTRACT
The participant in a human-to-human communication who controls the floor bears the burden of moving the
communication process along. Change in control of the floor can happen through a number of mechanisms, including
interruptions, delegation of the floor, and so on. This paper investigates floor control in multiparty meetings that are
both audio and video taped; hence, we analyze patterns of speech (e.g., the use of discourse markers) and visual cues
(e.g, eye gaze exchanges) that are often involved in floor control changes. Identifying who has control of the floor
provides an important focus for information retrieval and summarization of meetings. Additionally, without
understanding who has control of the floor, it is impossible to identify important events such as challenges for the
floor. In this paper, we analyze multimodal cues related to floor control in two different meetings involving five
participants each.
ABSTRACT
This study, using a quantitative descriptive method, aimed to determine the difficulties and effects of offering
Database Systems II ahead of Web Applications Development in the University of San Carlos Computer Science
Department. Under the difficulties were user interface, PHP-MySQL integration, oral defense, proposed system
implementation and time constraint. Under the effects of the difficulties were students classroom performance and
familiarization of the topics. The data gathering adopted open-ended and close-ended questionnaires. One hundred
(100) Bachelor of Science in Information and Communications Technology students participated in this study. The
results showed that difficulties arise in the proposed system development and the students classroom performance.
The findings have implications for offering Database Systems II as a co-requisite of Web Applications Development.
