the aim of this study was to evaluate genotype×environment interaction (gei) of chlorophyll meter readings (spad) of ten durum wheat cultivars, using data obtained from multi-environment trials during two years, at eight locations. stability and genotypic superiority for spad reading was identified using anova and gge biplot analysis. furthermore, the interrelationships among spad reading and o...

The paper discusses two body-language humancomputer interaction modalities, namely facial expressions and hand gestures, for healthcare and smart environment

with the rapid emergence of 3d applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. this is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. in other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the human-computer interaction (hci). in...

We discuss how humans interact with the environment and how the environment interacts with humans. One key word is “resonance”. An individual human has his own natural frequency, which is a metaphor for personality or habitual action. In the proposed framework, each human’s habitual actions react with the environment and the environment learns these actions as his natural frequency. The environ...

The Ambient Intelligence (AmI) paradigm brings about one important challenge, i.e. to make environments adaptive, responsive or reactive to users' current contextual situation. To meet this goal, it is important to enable interaction mechanisms among all those entities so that they can address users' needs. Following this premise, a key aspect of user interaction with Smart Environments (i.e. I...

The complexity of software design raised the need for intelligent design assistants, especially in Computer Aided Software Engineering tools. But an efficient and effective design system capable of helping the software designer must address important issues in human-machine communication. At the AI Lab of Coimbra University we are developing an Intelligent Computer Aided Software Engineering to...
