In this paper we test the effectiveness of a unifying life-cycle framework for the development of affective bi-modal interfaces. The life-cycle framework is called MBIUI and may be used for the application of many different multi-criteria decision making theories in intelligent user interfaces. As a case study we use an affective bi-modal educational system. More specifically, we describe the e...

The framework offers a unified view applicable to internal and international migration flows, however data limitations severely hinder studies of international migration. As is common in modeling life cycle dec...

In this research, we propose the expression life cycle model which consists of liquidization and crystallization of expressions. We believe that activating this cycle will enrich and widen our views of thinking and feeling. After providing a framework for activating the cycle by automatic draft generation and interactive creation processes, the preliminary practices and prototypes are introduced.
