Interactive multidimensional data analysis tools (mostly OLAP systems) are the predominant frontend tools for end users in data warehouse environments. Thus, the design of these systems is an important part of the data warehouse design itself. This paper contributes to the important design step by discussing the modeling of user query behavior and its benefits. We present a mathematical model a...

Nowadays, BIM (Building Information Modeling) has steadily been introduced into the construction industry as a promising methodology for managing projects. Therefore, it is necessary to study users of its processes. Worldwide, there are already systems that classify companies according how they use BIM, although only few studies have conducted on individual classified. Hence, present sought dev...

1 Introduction In this paper we take a multi-party interaction point of view on our research on multimodal interaction between agents in various virtual environments: an educational environment, a meeting environment, and a storytelling environment. These environments are quite different. All these environments require the modeling of multimodal interaction: interactions between human users, th...

system dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using system dynamics approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. however, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...

Several current support systems for travel and tourism are aimed at providing information in a personalized manner, taking users’ interests and preferences into account. In this vein, personalized systems observe users’ behavior and, based thereon, make generalizations and predictions about them. This article describes a user modeling server that offers services to personalized systems with reg...

Recent technological and theoretical advances are only now allowing the simulation of detailed kinetic models of biological systems that reflect the stochastic movement and reactivity of individual molecules within cellular compartments. The behavior of many systems could not be properly understood without this level of resolution, opening up new perspectives of using computer simulations to ac...
