Abstract

Discovery services constitute an element of innovation and modernization for university and research libraries. In recent years their presence has become strong in Spain, with the new generation of these systems, commonly referred to as web-scale discovery services, although it is [...]

Abstract

Since its launch several years ago, Europeana has continued to improve the quantity and quality of its content, attempting to offer new services and differentiate itself from the more popular search engines. The Assets  project has contributed to this goal by developing innovative [...]

Abstract

The design of safety critical systems calls for advanced software engineering models, methods and tools in order to guarantee safety requirements that can put human life at stake. When the safety critical system encompasses a substantial interactive component, the same level of [...]

Abstract

This paper identifies and discusses a set of criteria relevant to assess the impact of using different media in the design of user interfaces for safety-critical systems. An evaluation of different options concerning the allocation of such media during the design of an application [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a set of tools supporting the development of interactive systems using two different notations. One of these notations, called ConcurTaskTrees (CTT), is used for task modelling. The other notation, called Interactive Cooperative Objects (ICO), is used for system [...]

Abstract

There is a lack of means of translating work products of elicitation to design and using results of evaluation as feedback to design. This paper lays the foundation of a model of evaluation to be built concurrently with the design activity. The evaluation model describes the implications [...]

Abstract

In this paper we present a method that aims to integrate the use of formal techniques in the design process of interactive applications, with particular attention to those applications where both usability and safety are main concerns. The method is supported by a set of tools. We [...]

Abstract

Mashups are a new kind of interactive Web application, built out of the composition of two or more existing Web service APIs and data sources. Whereas "pure" mashups are built relying entirely on the Web browser as a platform for integration at the presentation layer, this approach [...]

Abstract

This paper presents the current status of VU-Flow (Visualization of Users’ Flow), a software tool that is able to automatically record usage data in Virtual Environments and provide a set of 2D and 3D visualizations that make it easy for an evaluator to visually detect peculiar users’ [...]

Abstract

Part 5: Industrial Management and Other Applications; International audience; This paper describes methods of traffic monitoring based on on-line retrieval of big data both from cars equipped with GPS devices and stationary sensor systems. Various visualization methods and styles [...]
