Abstract: The first journey to knowledge is reading, a must-have capability or skill to discover life’s full potential. Dyslexia is a problem related to reading difficulties and inability to comprehend textual or phonological materials that is easy for non-dyslexic person. The situation will lead to anxiety and frustration when a person with dyslexia finds reading as one of the most hated activities especially for children.This paper presented few findings from a study involving twelve (12) dyslexic children in a primary school in Malaysia. An educational multimedia courseware is used in the experiment to test set of research questions related to reaction towards text instruction, icons, colors and other elements of interface. Findings from the experiment were discussed to understand reasons behind learning difficulties by dyslexic children. We also put emphasize on the engagement activities with the courseware to understand any design issues which may cause the low success rate of normal multim

Abstract: Multi-Agent based modeling and simulation is an evolving paradigm for solving real life problems for solving real life problems for the last one decade. In this paper, we model the manually controlled Indian Railway to a multi agent based automated system which is robust in nature and provide a fully automated collision avoidance guarantee. We consider individual entity such as station, junction and train as an agent and the whole railway network is framed as a graph. To sharpen the solutions of existing system´s problems such as collisions and delays, BDI agent with first order predicate logic is incorporated in this paper. The communication and coordination between respective agents (with help of their BDI and rule base running as backbone) can now be a substitution in place of manual decisions. Thus the idea can replace the hectic job of railway control room personals in more sophisticated and methodical way.
