Radovan Kranjčev (2013) published a paper on Croatian Mantodea containing a considerable number of data that need to be discussed. In this reply corrections of mantid misidentifications, as well as of some given statements, are presented, certain doubtful records are discussed and comments on a number of overlooked papers are given. Also, a critical review of some further problems concerning Cr...

Human computer interaction in security and time-critical systems is an interdisciplinary challenge at the seams of human factors, engineering, information systems and computer science. Application fields include control systems, critical infrastructures, vehicle and traffic management, production technology, business continuity management, medical technology, crisis management and civil protect...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15512 “Debating Technologies”. The seminar brought together leading researchers from computational linguistics, information retrieval, semantic web, and database communities to discuss the possibilities, implications, and necessary actions for the establishment of a new interdisciplinary research community around debating te...

As a contribution to the HICSS 50 Anniversary Conference, we proposed a new mini-track on Text Mining in Big Data Analytics. This mini-track builds on the successful HICSS Workshop on Text Mining and recognizes the growing importance of unstructured text as a data source for descriptive and predictive analytics in research on collaboration systems and technologies. In this initial iteration of ...

This short paper describes the Siren project, and interdisciplinary European project aimed at creating an adaptive serious game for teaching conflict resolution, and solve the research issues associated with this. We outline the challenges faced in various disciplines, including cross-cultural psychology, player modelling and procedural content generation, and the technologies and methods we wi...

This paper presents the main features of the masterlevel programme in “EcoEnergy” offered as a full-time one year course at “Institut National Polytechnique of Toulouse” in order to provide engineers with a state-of-the-art education in the area of advanced energy technologies and systems. It is based on an original and equilibrated combination of process systems engineering and electrical engi...

A rapidly growing interdisciplinary research area combining aerogel and printing technologies that began only five years ago has been comprehensively reviewed.

Translation technologies constitute an important new field of interdisciplinary study lying midway between computer science and translation. Its development in the professional world will largely depend on its academic progress and the effective introduction of translation technologies in the translators training curriculum. In this paper different approaches to the subject are examined so as t...

This paper identifies a spectrum of risk management opportunities associated with technologies and procedures that use energy more efficiently or supply renewable energy. While the economic benefits of these measures have long been of interest to energy consumers seeking to reduce their energy expenditures, we have found that they also offer a novel and largely untapped pathway for achieving tr...
