The many-to-many social communication activity on the popular technology-news website Slashdot has been studied. We have concentrated dynamics of message production without considering semantic relations and found regular temporal patterns in reaction time community to a news-post as well single user behavior. statistics these activities follow log-normal distributions. Daily weekly oscillatory cycles, which cause slight variations this simple behavior, are identified. A superposition two...
Nowadays, vast amounts of multimedia content are being produced, archived, and digitized, resulting in great troves data interest. Examples include user-generated content, such as images, videos, text, audio posted by users on social media wikis, or provided through official publishers distributors, digital libraries, organizations, online museums. This can serve a valuable source inspiration to the creative industries, architecture gaming, produce new innovative assets enhance (re-)use...
The success of Web 2.0 technologies in providing support for social interaction educational spaces depends on how learning environments benefit from the affordances services. These services can be combined with management activities as done by IMS Learning Design (IMS LD) compliant systems. In this paper, we analyze ability an integrated system (blog, forum, and LD activities) to instigate learner activity other members network. This analysis takes form a case study which small professional...
Nowadays professional journalists create and edit broadcasting materials inside newsrooms that are characterized by an intense multivariate flux of information. Within these settings, the have difficulties keeping up with evolving geopolitical picture events developing in world how it relates to topics their interest. In this paper we present AmbientNEWS, ambient display visualizes dynamic news content informs on global events. We argue conceptualization design its information aesthetics...
Locative narratives can implement different modes of coupling the physical space and narrative content, impacting how user experiences understands story. Narrative causal relations are difficult to maintain when freely explore environment. In this paper we focus on multiple interlaced narratives, relation among design, interaction, its influence players'' exploration mode, story comprehension, immersion. We conducted an in-situ study with YoWay, a locative app that presents three intertwined...
In this paper, we analyze how multimedia production and management systems respond to their users' needs interests. particular, concentrate on the system's role as mediator between users repositories. context, study information flow at two media companies identify opportunities augment human-multimedia interaction increase visibility of large These opportunities, who articulate user interests not covered by existing suite system interfaces, are exploited integrating new interfaces. We...
MindSpaces provides solutions for creating functionally and emotionally appealing architectural designs in urban spaces. Social media services, physiological sensing devices video cameras provide data from environments. State-of-the-Art technology including VR, 3D design tools, emotion extraction, visual behaviour analysis, textual analysis will be incorporated platform analysing adapting the of
Multi-authoring is currently a common practice in the field of contemporary storytelling but producing consistent stories that share narrative space when multiple authors are involved not trivial task. Inconsistencies, which always well-received by readers sometimes expensive to fix. In this work we attempt improve consistency and spaces introducing set rules based on formal model. Such model takes into account reader’s concept storytelling, acts as framework for building tools construct...
We propose a modified Entity Relationship (E-R) model, traditionally used for software engineering, to structure, store and share plot data. The flexibility of E-R modelling has been demonstrated by its decades usage in wide variety situations. success the model suggests that it could be useful collaborating fiction authors, adding certain degree computational power their process. changed syntax better suit story plans, switching emphasis from generic types instanced story entities, but...
The emergence of the Web 2.0 technologies in last years have changed way people interact with knowledge. Services for cooperation and collaboration placed user centre a new knowledge building space. development second generation learning environments can benefit from potential these services when applied to an educational context. We propose methodology designing that relates functional requirements environments. In particular, we concentrate on design KRSM system discuss components this its...
